TupiTube

Tupi is a design and authoring tool for digital artists interested in 2D Animation, fork of the KToon project, offering an interface experience focused on 8-100 years old kids.
- Because its easy to use, and simple! Guest • May 2020 • 1 agrees and 0 disagrees
- Has all the same features as Adobe Animation CC (Flash), is VERY beginner friendly and is cross platform! Guest • Jun 2019 • 1 agrees and 2 disagrees
- It has mostly all the essential Flash features for animation and it doesn't cut corners for anything. Its an overall good program to use. I have seen many amazing Flash level animations made with this program and it can still be used for simple low quality animations. It can also be used for teaching students.

- It's easy to use and really powerful Guest • Mar 2017 • 2 agrees and 1 disagrees
- They have many similar features and are both vector based Mr_Jangoon • Jul 2016 • 7 agrees and 5 disagrees
- It is too confusing, tweens don't work. Guest • Oct 2016 • 0 agrees and 5 disagrees
- Their website plainly states they are not an alternative to Flash Guest • Oct 2015 • 7 agrees and 12 disagrees

Verge3D

Verge3D is a powerful and intuitive toolkit that allows Blender, 3ds Max or Maya users to create immersive web-based experiences. Verge3D can be used to build interactive animations, product configurators, engaging presentations of any kind, online stores, explainers, e-learning content, portfolios, ads, and browser games.
- Verge3D is a good alternative if you need to create a full-featured 3D interactive content on your website such as configurator or browser game. Guest • Jul 2019 • 1 agrees and 0 disagrees
- Verge3D is much easier to use when you need responsive 3D web content on your website. Good for prototyping as well. Silbermann • Jul 2019 • 1 agrees and 0 disagrees
- Verge3D integrates tightly with Blender/3ds Max and as such allows for creating interactive animations right in 3D modelling suite, not in the separate program like Adobe Animate. It also comes with an advanced visual programming tool. Guest • Jul 2019 • 2 agrees and 0 disagrees

Synfig Studio

Synfig Studio is a free and open-source 2D animation software, designed as powerful industrial-strength solution for creating film-quality animation using a vector and bitmap artwork. It eliminates the need to create animation frame-by frame, allowing you to produce 2D animation of a higher quality with fewer people and resources. Synfig Studio is available for Windows, Linux and MacOS X.
- This is not a Frame-by-Frame animation software, as said in their website. Guest • Jun 2020 • 1 agrees and 2 disagrees
- Not nearly similar enough to Animate. Overcomplicates many features that are simply done in Animate. Guest • Dec 2019 • 3 agrees and 2 disagrees
- Does not allow frame for frame drawing which is the core component of Adobe Animate Guest • Apr 2018 • 17 agrees and 13 disagrees
- It has good features like bones and stuffs. Most of all it's open source. Guest • Jul 2018 • 3 agrees and 7 disagrees
- Because the timeline is no where near similar to animate cc at least things are actually easy to edit the frames when you made i perfer layer by layer timeline than a timebar Guest • Jul 2018 • 4 agrees and 5 disagrees
- It does not allow for easy frame by frame animation like adobe flash. Guest • Aug 2016 • 21 agrees and 10 disagrees
- The primary application of Animate/Flash is web. Synfig uses vector graphics, but is for bitmap exporting (movies) which can't be easily transferred by web like Canvas/HTML5/JS, except you have a powerful hosting and bandwidth to share users with huge and CPU-demanding videos. Total lack of interactivity in animations is another problem. Guest • May 2017 • 5 agrees and 5 disagrees
- Share the same functionality : Animation. Guest • Jul 2016 • 10 agrees and 8 disagrees
- it's free and open-source software,very good for work. Guest • Mar 2017 • 6 agrees and 7 disagrees

CreaToon

CreaToon is a free easy to use animation program. It is different from other programs however, because you don't draw the objects in the program, it is a cutout based animation program. What that means is you make the parts in something like Gimp or Inkscape, and then you import them as png images into CreaToon, and you animate the characters with the body parts you made. You would have to check it out to see what I mean, it's a cool program though.
- Discontinued
  The official website is no longer available. Last version, 3.0.0.55, released in March 2014, can be still downloaded from Softpedia.
