About Figma
Figma is the collaborative interface design tool that runs in the browser. Multiple people design in the same file in real time, with components, auto-layout, prototyping and developer handoff built in. Its free tier is generous for individuals.
About Penpot
Penpot is the open-source design and prototyping platform — the closest self-hostable answer to Figma. It uses open web standards (SVG, CSS) natively, so design and code stay in sync, and it's free without seat limits.
