1. First, Figma is browser based, unlike Sketch that requires a client app and a license for each of them. 2. Sketch is limited to Mac users, Figma, on the other hand, is universal and only requires a browser. 3. It offers free tiers.
Figma's most outstanding feature is its real-time collaboration capability. Unlike Adobe XD, multiple users can work on a design simultaneously with seamless integration. This was a significant factor for our team since we often collaborate remotely. Both Sketch, Figma, and XD …
Compared to Sketch, Figma is more user friendly and easier to collaborate. The component and library feature is better. Sketch does not have Figjam. Figjam has amazing features like sticky notes, templates, voting, emojis, stickers, etc. The community of Figma is my favourite. …
I will be specific here - With Adobe XD it was very difficult to prototype, it was also very complicated to learn. With Sketch - We had to use InVision for prototype and share and there were limited feature were available compared to Figma.
Collaboration in real-time: Figma operates entirely in the cloud, allowing multiple users to collaborate on designs simultaneously. This real-time collaboration is especially useful for remote teams or those working across different …
Yes definitely, it is way easier to use and has way better collaboration compared to Adobe Illustration and Sketch. Figma has better integration with the development team as it can export code and maintain assets as well.
Another big upside of Figma is prototyping, since the …
Figma is a better layout tool than all of the other products I have used. I believe it’s worse at prototyping than Sketch and axure. Also its lack of a design kit from officially from Apple is a ding on the product and a plus for Sketch in my opinion. XD is awful and not worth …
We switched from Sketch to Figma 3 years ago. Back then Figma provided more flexibility to build design systems, collaborate between designers and work on the same files.
Figma is much more user friendly and collaborative. It works in your browser and contains everything you need really, whereas Sketch requires other tools to run it properly. It is also much easier to import and export things into Figma, which means we can work across lots of …
Figma has better design tools than Adobe XD and you don't need to purchase the whole adobe suite to use it. The collaboration and cloud based storage is better that Sketch. Sketch has great design capabilities but it's much harder to have multiple people working on one file …
Figma is the best tool for designing UI/UX on multiple platforms such as Mac, Windows, Linux, and Browser-based applications. It has support for many plugins and a strong community. On the other hand, Adobe XD lacks these advantages, and it is said that Adobe will enhance Figma …
The benefits of Figma are that you can log in easily and use it anywhere. It has great features and component management. Sketch has more advanced visual effects, and can be used offline. I've run into trouble where I have no internet, so am unable to connect to use Figma. Axure …
In Figma we have it all! From sketches, wireframes, to complex design systems, components, tokens, libraries, etc.
It is also very easy to share interactive prototypes, the developer team can also access the files from anywhere, without installing anything on their computers, …
Figma's collaboration and speed of new feature development, coupled with their existing feature set when we purchased made them a clear choice. Their prototyping functionality was particularly impressive vs Sketch, but also their system compatibility (even browser) helped to …
In Figma, multiple team members can collaborate on the same project simultaneously, making real-time teamwork smooth and efficient. I really like its cloud-based nature which ensures that changes are instantly synchronized across devices, allowing teams to iterate rapidly and …

Chose Figma
Figma is a lot cleaner, easier to navigate and organize. Maybe you can't do as much visually but you can move faster in Figma. I'm trying to remember more but honestly I've been using Figma for so long now.
Figma is inherently "smarter" than these other apps for its ability to create design tokens, generate code and is just better suited all around for screen-based design.
I've been using Figma for the past 4 years so I'm not on top of the most recent versions of the other tools but we chose Figma as it allowed our distributed team of designers who are not just in different cities but different regions and timezones to collaborate better and stay …
I have used almost all the tools in UX designing and reviewed all of them, I found the Figma is light weight and very fast, I love the web version as I am teaching online and also working on the organization in different teams and the web version is super helpful for me.

Chose Figma
Figma is a one stop tool which has all the functionality over using multiple tools
Figma is far better in so many ways. The shortcut in Figma makes the most sense. It allows teams to collaborate like no others. People don't even need to pay for Figma to work live with designers. The product owners and stake holders are very happy about Figma. It is also very …
Ultimately I did not select Sketch, but for a while, it was the software of choice over Photoshop or Illustrator. Photoshop was never a good fit for prototyping, as it's made for intense photo editing and has a lot of UI debt that's built up. It also facilitated a particular …
Sketch had been great and improved a lot in the past, but so has Adobe. If you are going to start new, it's better to plan long term and based on needs see what suits more. Figma is relying a lot on new technologies which are not bug-free, but that may be the future of design.
Figma is great in a team setting, but Sketch seems to have far more tools that are aligned to the fast-iteration work we do. It also lacks a number of the plugins that make our work with Sketch so ideal. If we decided on Figma, we would definitely have to create more …

Chose Sketch
I was a big Fireworks user when it was discontinued by Adobe. At the time most people used Photoshop, but I've never liked Photoshop for web designs because it was built for photo editing, not vector graphics. I've heard Illustrator might be a pretty good alternative now, but …
We use Sketch for its clarity. While Figma and InVision Studio have some "google-doc-escrow" collaboration tools, I've found them hard to make pixel-perfect designs, which is necessary while working with IT and clients.
Illustrator may have been the first of these vector-based …
Sketch is much better for web design than Adobe products. It's easier to learn and use, and it's a much more efficient way to hand off design files to developers. However, given a choice between Figma and Sketch, I'd choose Figma because of its cloud file storage and …
We went from designing websites in Photoshop to designing in Sketch, and it is certainly much quicker and easier to design in Sketch, and you're more easily able to make sure that our designs are exact in Sketch, as far as spacing exact pixels. I have never used AdobeXD and …

Chose Sketch
The interfaces of Adobe and Figma are very similar, but I would say that Figma's collaboration tool is great with onboard live collaboration. For Sketch, that is a separate payment. XD is great for free usage and for Windows collaboration, but some parts of the collaboration …

Chose Sketch
I think Sketch it better than Illustrator in a lot of respects. I feel like Sketch allows for more accuracy and precision. I do think it lacks in its collaboration. Unlike Figma it doesn't allow live collaboration.
Sketch works in a similar way to programs like Figma and InVision. Sketch is a mac only program so it works well in a mac environment. Tools like Figma and InVision have better collaboration tools and are both cross-platform. Sketch is easier to use and more intuitive for most …
I would say that it's different enough from the others that it has its place right alongside them. Nothing beats Sketch in terms of its ability to quickly wireframe.
At the time of evaluation, Sketch provided a full feature design tool at the cost we needed. We also had required integration with Abstract, Zeplin, and InVision. Our design team already had familiarity with the Sketch interface. these considerations made it an easy decision to …
Sketch is the industry leader when it comes to visual design for mobile apps and websites. However, its competitors are catching up very quickly and starting to offer features that Sketch doesn't have. While I think Sketch is still the best visual design software out there for …
