Figma vs Sketch: Pricing Comparison (2026)
Figma starts at $20/mo. Sketch starts at $14/mo. Sketch is $6/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.
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.
