Pros
- Fully featured free plan with no editor or file limits
- Open source and self-hostable, so no vendor lock-in

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
Axure RP
Pros
- Powerful interactions and logic beyond typical click-through prototypes
- Strong for complex flows, enterprise UX, and detailed UX documentation
