AI Generated Summary
AI-generated. Powered by real user reviews.
- G2 reviewers report that Figma excels in collaboration features, allowing multiple users to work on designs in real-time directly in the browser. This capability is highlighted by users who appreciate the ease of inspecting components and checking design details without needing to install heavy software.
- Users say that Penpot, while still developing, offers a solid free alternative with a user-friendly interface. Reviewers note its open-source nature as a significant advantage, providing peace of mind regarding the tool's longevity and updates.
- Reviewers mention that Figma's intuitive onboarding process and simple UI contribute to a smoother user experience, making it easy for new users to get up to speed quickly. This is a notable strength compared to Penpot, which, while easy to learn, may not yet match the seamlessness of Figma's setup.
- According to verified reviews, Figma's overall satisfaction ratings are significantly higher, reflecting a broader user base and more extensive feedback. With over 1,300 reviews, users consistently praise its robust features and reliability, while Penpot's limited feedback (only 10 reviews) suggests it may still be finding its footing in the market.
- Users highlight that Penpot has the potential to grow into a more competitive collaboration tool, with recent updates improving its functionality. However, Figma's established reputation and higher ratings in quality of support and user satisfaction indicate it currently leads in providing a dependable user experience.
- G2 reviewers note that while both tools cater to small businesses, Figma's extensive feature set and higher ratings in areas like ease of use and meeting user requirements make it a more favorable choice for teams looking for a comprehensive design solution.
