It allows designers and developers to edit, comment and review designs and code together.<\/p>\n<p>It is also the favorite of many engineers, artists, business analysts, visual designers, and many more, for the creation and editing of vector graphics. If you\u2019re a designer, you probably have your preferred software tool &#8211; and good chances are you\u2019re using Figma pretty much every day! This software stormed into the design world and took it over in a very short time &#8211; and won the hearts of at least 57% of designers worldwide in 2020 rising from about 8% in 2017.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_63 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-black ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title \" >Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 eztoc-toggle-hide-by-default' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/jeremynoronha.com\/figma-alternatives\/#Figma_Adobe\" title=\"Figma &amp; Adobe\">Figma &amp; Adobe<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/jeremynoronha.com\/figma-alternatives\/#Best_Figma_Alternatives\" title=\"Best Figma Alternatives\">Best Figma Alternatives<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/jeremynoronha.com\/figma-alternatives\/#1_InVision_%E2%80%93_Most_Popular_Figma_Alternative\" title=\"1.

Users also say that they like the platform\u2019s ease of use and customization levels.<\/p>\n<p>On the desktop (Windows and Mac OS), InVision has both a free plan and two paid plans. The free plan allows up to 10 active users and up to three documents.<\/p>\n<p>One reason we consider InVision as an excellent alternative to Figma is that its<a href=\"https:\/\/www.invisionapp.com\/plans\"> upgrade prices<\/a> are more affordable and flexible. There are two upgrade levels: the first one costs $7.95 per user per month when billed annually and $9.95 when billed on a per-month basis.<\/p>\n<p>The next level (known as Enterprise Plan) can be customized for organizations with advanced design needs. It is billed on a per-seat basis with a zero user limit.<\/p>\n<p>By comparison,<a href=\"https:\/\/www.figma.com\/pricing\/\"> the Figma upgrade prices<\/a> start from $12\/editor\/month when billed annually (and $15 when billed on a per-month basis) while the next level goes for $45\/editor\/month.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Reddit\u2019s Opinion About This Figma Alternative:<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>u\/MikeOfTheBeast &#8211;\u00a0<\/strong>Yep.

It is available on the cloud, as a desktop app (for both Windows and Mac OS), and as an integration for Google Drive.<\/p>\n<p>Owned by Balsamiq Studios, a company founded by a former Adobe senior software engineer, this tool may have drawn a lot of inspiration from Adobe XD. It is <a href=\"https:\/\/rigorousthemes.com\/blog\/canva-vs-crello\/\">used to design websites<\/a>, mobile apps, web apps, desktop software, and user interfaces.<\/p>\n<p>One edge that this platform has over Figma is that it sports a dedicated \u2018academy\u2019 for anyone to learn to wireframe right from the beginner levels. This includes articles, videos, courses, and other learning resources.<\/p>\n<p>However, unlike Figma, Balsamiq does not have a free plan. But it has<a href=\"https:\/\/balsamiq.com\/buy\/#cloud\"> one of the most flexible pricing plans<\/a> among the others. It also has 30-day free-trial versions across boards.<\/p>\n<p>They charge the cloud version on a per-space basis with three plans available: the first plan accommodates two projects and costs $9 per month or $90 per year. The topmost plan accommodates up to 200 projects and costs $199 per month or $1,990 per year. Each of these plans accommodates unlimited wireframes and unlimited users.<\/p>\n<p>They charged the desktop version on a per-user basis. It goes for $89 per user for up to four users. Then, the per-user billing drops to $85, $84, $82, et cetera right up to $44 per user for 220 users, which amounts to $9,790.<\/p>\n<p>As a Google Drive integration, Balsamiq Mockups is charged on a per-editor basis at $5 per editor per month or $50 per editor per year. It is available for up to 500 editors.<\/p>\n<p>The charges for Confluence\/Jira integrations are more complex because of offering a far wider range of options. They are charged on a per-editor basis and based on whether you are a commercial or academic user.<\/p>\n<p>For example, a plan for three editors under a commercial license is $100 while it is $50 under an academic license. The price levels accommodate up to 2000 editors at $8000 (commercial) and $4000 (academic).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Reddit\u2019s Opinion About This Figma Alternative:<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>u\/caricamento &#8211;\u00a0<\/strong>I love Balsamiq, and they even have a policy of issuing licenses to non-profits.\u00a0Biggest pitfall with this tool that I have seen is exposing it to people who don&#8217;t understand what it&#8217;s used for. If somebody doesn&#8217;t know what wireframing is, they are totally lost. God forbid you should hand over control of your wireframes to somebody who doesn&#8217;t know how to use one&#8230; one of my coworkers totally butchered my mockups beyond the point of usability.<\/p>\n<p><strong>u\/skarfacegc &#8211;\u00a0<\/strong>My team and I have been using this for years. It&#8217;s a great tool (and inexpensive) to mess around with UX without having to commit to code.

The app comes packaged with built-in design resources like icons, vector illustrations, and more.

Just like Figma, it is a vector-based <a href=\"https:\/\/rigorousthemes.com\/blog\/ripl-vs-canva\/\">graphic design tool<\/a>. But unlike Figma, Gravit Designer supports almost any platform.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, it is available both as a downloadable desktop app and as an online platform. Its operating system supports Windows, Linux, Mac OS, and Chrome OS.<\/p>\n<p>Another example in which Gravit Designer is noted to be versatile is in its file export\/import options. It supports PDF, SVG, EPS, Adobe Illustrator, and .sketch file formats.<\/p>\n<p>There is an absolutely free version of Gravit Designer.

Among many reasons it made this list, Axure RP sports all the basic features of Figma especially in terms of UX prototyping and wireframing.<\/p>\n<p>Like Figma also, it runs on Windows and Mac OS. Again, it packs a lot of collaborative functionalities and features on a drag-and-drop interface. But users particularly testify about the realistic output of Axure RP\u2019s UX prototypes relative to most of its competitors (Figma inclusive).<\/p>\n<p>Axure\u2019s UI outputs are also known for their responsiveness, being able to adapt to all kinds of screens from phone to tablet to PC. Also, apart from being used to generate HTML-based website previews, Axure RP is also good at creating word documents for website and app development.<\/p>\n<p>However, Axure RP is pricier than Figma. First, unlike Figma, it has no free plan, while Figma costs from $12 or $15 per user per month. Axure RP\u2019s<a href=\"https:\/\/www.axure.com\/pricing\"> three pricing plans<\/a> start from $25 per user per month when billed annually and $29 when billed on a per-month cycle. The next pricing level for Axure RP goes for $42 per user per month when billed annually, or $49 when billed on a per-month cycle. There is also an \u2018enterprise\u2019 plan that is available on request.<\/p>\n<p>All these pricing plans come with the capacity to create unlimited prototypes and to add an unlimited number of reviewers. You can also try the first two levels for free for 30 days.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_Moqups\"><\/span><strong>10.

It is available on the cloud only just like Figma. Again, just like Figma, it is offered on freemium licensing.<\/p>\n<p>Users particularly testify about Moqups\u2019 ease of use and the flexibility of its collaborative features. Most users are quite satisfied with the features of the free plan.<\/p>\n<p>Moqups is also a great Figma alternative when budgeting is a consideration. Unlike with Figma,<a href=\"https:\/\/moqups.com\/pricing\/\"> the pricing plans<\/a> are on per-month and per-year cycles only and never on a per-user basis.<\/p>\n<p>The plans start at $16 per month (yearly cycle) and $23 on a monthly cycle.

This means that it is neither a local app nor a cloud-based service.<\/p>\n<p>Certain users testify that this service is faster than average. This is probably because it works based on pre-built UI kits that load faster.<\/p>\n<p>Like Figma, Fluid UI supports real-time collaborative efforts. Remote team members can view projects and comment on them on the spot for other team members to see.<\/p>\n<p>There is a unique feature offered by the Fluid UI platform that makes it stand out as a Figma alternative: It offers free player apps for testing your prototypes on any mobile device \u2013 whether it\u2019s a phone or a tablet. Also, using Fluid UI, several prototypes can interact with one another.<\/p>\n<p>Fluid UI is billed on a per-month or per-year basis and never on any per-user consideration. So, it is also considered a better Figma alternative on the account of having a<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fluidui.com\/plans\"> better pricing offer<\/a>. Even though it offers paid services, the prices are lower than it is with Figma.<\/p>\n<p>The first plan goes for $8.25 per month or $99 per year. As for the second-level plan, it goes for $19.08 per month and $229 per year.

Apart from being realistic, the UI\/UX mockups are also responsive \u2013 they adapt to any device\u2019s screen on which it is viewed.
