Pros and cons

Figma

Pros

  • Best-in-class real-time collaboration and sharing
  • Strong component/variant and auto layout workflows for scalable UI
  • Cross-platform (browser + desktop) with minimal setup
  • Large plugin/community ecosystem and integrations

Cons

  • Advanced features and permissions can be complex to administer at scale
  • Performance can degrade with very large files or heavy prototyping
  • Some workflows (e.g., complex illustration, photo editing) are better in specialized tools

Penpot

Pros

  • Fully featured free plan with no editor or file limits
  • Open source and self-hostable, so no vendor lock-in
  • Layouts use real CSS Grid and Flexbox, which makes handoff cleaner
  • Runs in any browser on Windows, Mac and Linux

Cons

  • Smaller plugin, template and community ecosystem than Figma
  • Can feel slower than native apps on very large files
  • Prototyping and advanced interactions are less deep than Figma, UXPin or Axure
  • Few G2 reviews so far, so there is less peer feedback to go on
