What do you like best about Penpot?

Has all the basics you would expect from a UX tool: artboards, components, interactions, and more!

And it allows collaboration and self-hosting! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Penpot?

As of the time of writing this review, it's still early days: Penpot is still in Beta and thus it's a bit rough around the edges. However, it's still stable enough to be used in production. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Penpot solving and how is that benefiting you?

You're not tied to a subscription or to a company that might be bought off by some large soulless conglomerate. If things go sour, you can always just self-host. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Penpot?

Penpot is one of the tool which is closer to figma in its functionality which has room to grow to become a much better collaboration tool in future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Penpot?

I have not found a dark mode or light mode option for this tool. Other than this, nothing i could ask for more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Penpot solving and how is that benefiting you?

The tool being an open source was a big yes for us. Penpot is free to us for the most part without any restrictions and strange pricing plans like the other tool. If done right, there will be days when it will not be compared. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Penpot?

It has all the necessary features of creating designs and prototypes as in Sketch. But it is better for collaboration and sharing. Plus it is completely browser-based. So it is super easy to work on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Penpot?

Since its browser based, sometimes, the interface is a bit busy when compared to desktop apps like sketch on the mac. But that is not a major problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Penpot solving and how is that benefiting you?

Penpoint heps me in creating website designs and wireframes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Penpot?

The best thing about Penpot is that it is an open-source project, which allows the project to grow and evolve quickly, just as the Blender community has grown. I am sure Penpot will be its counterpart in the area of Design. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Penpot?

The software is very recent and still lacks features to be developed, but for being an early version, it is almost on par in terms of design tools, it just needs to improve its prototyping options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Penpot solving and how is that benefiting you?

Having tools that allow working on any design project either individually or in a team, maintaining an excellent collaborative environment without restrictions and completely free, which is ideal for those with a small budget. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
