what it lets you cancel
FigmaNOT REALLY$20/mo

Browser prototypes, collaboration, user tests, and analytics in one product; weaker than Figma for pixel-perfect design systems.

the verdict →all Figma alternatives →
SketchKINDA$12/mo

A useful free prototype-and-test workspace with collaboration and analytics; less capable for production-grade visual systems.

the catchIt is a prototype-and-research workspace, not a full native vector design and reusable-library replacement for Sketch.
