I think Figma and Sketch are often classed as competitors, and I know many prefer one of those.

I'm unsure how pricing compares.



Sketch is not multi-platform, so no real alternative.

Figma doesn't support the design capabilities for native app design, so no real alternative.

Where is then the alternative?


I have no idea what your priorities are, so it's hard to guess. XD doesn't support Linux either. Apparently https://icons8.com/lunacy runs on Windows and can import and export to Sketch.

Figma of course runs in a browser so works fine on all, and there is a Mobile UI toolkit for it: https://www.figma.com/templates/mobile-ui-kit/

But maybe what you need is... Adobe XD? I personally quite like it.


Exactly, so this assertion that alternatives do exist doesn't make sense.


Alternatives do exist, just not for you specifically, perhaps.


So lets not generalize it works for everyone.



Nice that it provides a list of how cheap they are and cover design for native applications on Windows.
