    Considered Both Products
    Figma
    Chose Figma
    I learned UX Design using Sketch and my team was using Sketch when I joined. We no longer use Sketch, and therefore I cannot compare its current functionality to Figma, but at the time of our switch, Figma just had more advanced capabilities- better collaboration, auto-layout …

    Chose Figma
    Figma compared to other tools has user friendly UI which is very easy for all levels of designers. Compared to Adobe XD and Sketch Figma is stable, while in other tools I have faced software crashing in the middle of the work which resulted in loss of data/design. Compared to …
    Incentivized
    Chose Figma
    Figma is the only tool that was build from the ground up for enterprise level distributed teams. If I were a one man shop or even a small team, I would consider Sketch or other cheaper alternatives. For a large enterprise team, the only winner is Figma.
    Incentivized
    Chose Figma
    In comparison to Figma, other tools which can accomplish similar tasks (Adobe XD, Sketch, and Adobe PhotoShop) feel outdated, clunky, and lacking in functionality.

    When switching over to Figma, the experience feels much more elegant, convenient, and cutting-edge in a number of …
    Incentivized
    Chose Figma
    Figma is often considered superior to Sketch and Adobe XD due to its web-based nature, enabling seamless cross-platform compatibility and real-time collaboration. While Sketch is limited to macOS and Adobe XD offers robust features, Figma's ability to work directly in the …

    Chose Figma
    We migrated from Sketch to Figma and appreciated the design system when selecting Figma. We also liked the increased collaboration it would enable. We've found both to be incredibly helpful in practice and are very happy with our decision. Figma is intuitive and committed to …

    Chose Figma
    It's been at least a couple years since I used Sketch. It used to be my go to, but then there was a sudden shift towards Figma, and Sketch become obsolete. I was initially less drawn to Figma as it introduced a learning curve I wasn't ready to add to my workflow. I remember the …

    Chose Figma
    Figma was far superior to Adobe PhotoShop, considering PS wasn't designer for web but a photo editing tool.

    I moved from Photoshop to Sketch a good 8 years ago, and that tranisition was eye opening that we could have a web/app specific tool. The change from Sketch to Figma was …
    Incentivized
    Chose Figma
    Framer is making solid strides in its own world and is a great alternative to Figma. Sketch was a favorite of mine but it made it difficult to collaborate. Also, Figma's features are years ahead of what Sketch can do. Any time I have to work on Adobe XD for a client project, I …
    Incentivized
    Chose Figma
    Figma is much more evolved than Sketch, that requires a lot of plugins to be comparable. It’s more collaborative and easy to jump into calls without leaving the Figma environment. Adobe XD was ok but seems to be on the wane, and had performance issues. Axure RP is powerful, …
    Incentivized
    Chose Figma
    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 …

    Chose Figma
    Figma is the best for collaboration, most intuitive interface and compatible with the most outside softwares. Plugin library is also expansive

    Chose Figma
    Figma is by far the best prototyping tool out there. I am such a fan of this tool.

    Chose Figma
    Figma is web based, it makes it easy to access across all platforms. It is always updated and has a massive community which leads to some of the most useful plugins and the most useful community support compared to other UI design tools. They are always trying to improve the …

    Chose Figma
    Figma covers all our use cases. It helps with our design systems, pattern libraries, and prototyping; it's helpful to be cloud-based and sharable. Its plugins and usability for all team members make it very useful. Autolayout functionality is head and shoulders above the rest …

    Chose Figma
    Axure is known for its powerful prototyping capabilities, including complex interactions, conditional logic, and dynamic content but it has a steeper learning curve due to its advanced features and complexity. Plus its expensive. Adobe XD integrates seamlessly with other Adobe …

    Chose Figma
    Previously, we were using more than 1 tool for a specific use case related to design needs, but learned that Figma was more comprehensive, thus we were able to reduce usage of 2+ tools into one saving our overall budget on UX tools. Figma also seems to be an industry-wide …

    Better performance or Multiplatform availability when compared to competition.
    Also easiness of use.

    Chose Figma
    Honestly, Figma is so much better than its competitors, if you even want to call them that. You get accurate, high-fidelity work that you can quickly get into development for launch. The Figma community of plugins and templates is also AMAZING! There are so many passionate …
    Incentivized
    Chose Figma
    We still use Axure for rich prototyping as it allows complex logic and states that are tricky to implement in Figma. Figma beats Axure as it is a great for collaboration across large teams of designs and developers. Reviews are quick and FigJam boards have a great 'follow' …

    Chose Figma
    Figma is easy to start and not complicated, even for entry-level designers. Its price is also cheap compared to Adobe.

    Chose Figma
    Figma is closer to capabilities to Adobe tools like illustrator and white boarding tools like Miro, making it more versatile
    Incentivized
    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.

    Bohemian Coding
    Chose Sketch
    In terms of comparing Sketch with some of it's competitors, I would say that Sketch falls behind Figma due to the fact that it doesn't not have the power of inline collaboration that Figma has developed. It's also not quite as powerful as Axure in terms of providing a usable …

    Figma and Adobe XD provide features surpassing Sketch in key areas, such as collaboration, cross-platform support, and advanced prototyping. For those who need these capabilities, either Figma or Adobe XD is likely the better choice over Sketch, depending on whether integration …

    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.
    Incentivized
    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 …

    If we compared to popular design tools right now (Figma and Adobe XD ).
    Sketch app is still no 1, in terms of popularity, compatibility, and cost.
    Incentivized
    Chose Sketch
    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 …

    Chose Sketch
    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
    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 …

    Chose Sketch
    • 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.

    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 …
    Incentivized
    Chose Sketch
    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.
    Incentivized
    Chose Sketch
    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 …
    Incentivized
    Chose Sketch
    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 …

    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.

    Sketch works well against any UI design apps and the pricing is also affordable.

    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 …
