5 Figma Alternatives for UI & UX Designers

    Team-based interface design, Figma lets you collaborate on designs in real time.
    I think it’s a fair assessment that more than people being upset about Adobe having acquired Figma, it’s the fear of losing access to these community-curated resources. Integrating a community aspect might prove beneficial, whether you’re a paid or free design tool. And even more so if the day does come when Adobe decides to pull the plug on Figma and stuff it inside Creative Cloud.

    • Open Source
    Penpot has been in the works since 2021 (though the idea for it seems to go back as far as 2018) and is being built as open-source software for designing, collaboration, and prototyping. It is cross-platform (browser-based), and you can self-host Penpot either with Elestio or Docker.

    Professional digital design for Mac.
    Regarding community involvement, Sketch is definitely up there with the best of them. There are dozens of active Sketch freebie websites, and Sketch has a Plugin system, on top of things like Extensions and Integrations. They also have a fantastic free course that serves as an introduction to design basics, but more importantly – the interface and capabilities of Sketch.

    Design is really about solving problems. UXPin is the UX Design Platform that gets that right.
    If that doesn’t sound crazy enough already, UXPin also provides support to integrate pre-existing Design Systems as the starting point for your next UI project. You can choose between Material UI, or browse the Adele directory for all the component libraries that UXPin supports.

  5. Professional creative software, exclusively for Mac.
    And last but not least, the area in which Affinity Designer excels is its licensing system. You only pay for the software once ($60 + a free trial) and can use it on your Windows or macOS devices.

  6. Prototyping and collaboration for design teams
    InVision provides an alternative solution to FigJam. As a Figma user, you’re most likely familiar with FigJam already. If not – it is an online team-based whiteboard interface where you can work together on ideas, set plans in stone, and create visual project trajectories. InVision provides the same exact solution, focusing on affordability (it has a free plan!) and straightforward features.
