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 Sketch
Sketch is the Mac-native design tool that defined modern UI design workflows. It remains beloved for its polish and offline-first approach, with web-based collaboration added through Sketch Workspaces. One-time-style licensing per editor.
