Figma vs Penpot: Pricing Comparison (2026)
Figma starts at $20/mo. Penpot starts at $7/mo. Penpot is $13/mo cheaper on the entry tier than Figma.
Browser-based design tool that killed Sketch (Mac-only) through real-time collaboration. Adobe tried to acquire for $20B in 2022; deal blocked by regulators. Figma IPO'd in 2025 at higher valuation than the failed Adobe deal. Now expanding into product management (FigJam whiteboards, Figma Slides). Priced per editor across three seat types (Collab $3, Dev $12, Full $16) — the real cost lever is which seats each teammate needs, not which plan.
Open-source design tool positioned as the alternative to Figma for teams that want self-hosting, on-premise deployment, or vendor-lock-in escape. Distinctive for using open web standards (SVG-native, not proprietary format) so files are portable across tools. Fully free when self-hosted; cloud tier launching. Backed by Kaleidos (Spanish OSS studio). Popular with government agencies, enterprises with data residency needs, and open-source purists.
