Pros and cons

Figma

Pros

  • The best real-time co-editing experience in this list
  • Viewers and commenters do not need a paid seat on paid plans
  • Seat types (Collab, Dev, Full) let you pay only for what each person does
  • FigJam and Dev Mode remove the need for a separate whiteboard or handoff tool for many teams

Cons

  • No real video review: it is not a substitute for Frame.io or Filestage on video work
  • Built-in approval workflow is light compared with dedicated proofing tools
  • Organization and Enterprise seats are expensive and billed annually only
  • The free Starter plan is too limited for ongoing team work

Zeplin

Pros

  • Developers see only what designers publish, which cuts confusion
  • Approvals and version compare are included on every plan
  • Flat project-based Basic pricing is cheap for small teams with few projects
  • Strong engineering integrations (Jira, Azure DevOps, Storybook, VS Code)

Cons

  • Overlaps heavily with Figma Dev Mode if your team already pays for it
  • Adds an extra publish step between design and development
  • No whiteboarding or video review
  • On Advanced, developers need paid seats (reviewers are free but cannot see specs)
