# Sketch pricing

The design tool that dominated pro workflows in 2015-2019 before Figma killed it through real-time collaboration. Positioned as the alternative to Figma for designers who prefer Mac-native performance and offline capability. Distinctive for one-time purchase option ($120) plus subscription ($12/user/mo) — Figma is subscription-only. Bootstrapped Dutch company, still profitable serving pro Mac users who never made the Figma switch.

## Recommendation

In other words, Sketch is worth it for macOS designers who want one-time-purchase native UI/UX design tools — the OG Figma alternative for teams that don't need real-time browser collaboration. Standard subscription for latest updates; alternative one-time purchase for a version. Very easy for anyone with UI design background. Wide plugin ecosystem plus native Sketch Cloud for lightweight collaboration. Downside: macOS-only (no Windows/Linux), and Figma's real-time collaboration + Dev Mode have made Sketch less relevant for growing teams.

## Alternative to consider

Team collaboration + browser access? Pick Figma. Open-source alternative? Penpot. Illustration or print? Adobe Creative Cloud.
