   Penpot vs Figma Comments

   Positive comment by RemovedUser · Nov 2, 2023

   Loving it since its open source. A much more viable option compared to Figma.

   Positive comment by impox_ · May 1, 2023

   Lighter, multilanguage and way user friendlier.

   Positive comment by Paul · Feb 7, 2023

   Probably the best free and open source alternative to Figma. They recently introduced Flex Layout, which was a long-awaited feature. I think Figma is still ahead in terms of features, but Penpot is catching up.

   Lunacy vs Figma Comments

   Positive comment by Aleksandr Dikov · Mar 6, 2021

   Latest Lunacy feels just like clone of Figma, but works offline and has lack of additional plugins and libraries, but it's not functional features.

   Positive comment by Noah · Aug 12, 2021

   It's a fast, native (and free) design app for Windows. The best I've found.

   Positive comment by anggi-n · Dec 20, 2023

   This application feels like Figma but is a native version, free and can work offline, and the transition is smooth. This application is also available not only for Windows and Mac OS, but also available on Linux.
