This gets very confusing even for us long time users. Some time ago, Magix, a German software company purchased Xara, the creator of the Xara products.
Xara continues to develop Designer Pro and Web Designer and Magix markets Designer Pro X but Xara AFAIK markets and sells Designer Pro+.
Slightly different versions of the same product.
Magix has not updated Designer Pro X in some time. But Xara makes frequent updates, upgrades, and adds new content fairly often.
So, even if you don't need the Cloud services, I would opt for Designer Pro+. You still have the desktop application and all the tools and features.
