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.
Whimsical is a visual thinking tool for flowcharts, mind maps, wireframes, and boards with AI-generated diagrams. Free / Pro $10/editor/mo annual / Business $20/editor/mo annual (adds SSO + SCIM + 200 guests).
