Framer combines the power of code with the ease of visual editing. Prototype beautiful microinteractions or realistic apps. It’s time to design with development in mind.
Adobe XD (Experience Design) is a vector-based tool developed and published by Adobe Inc for designing and prototyping user experience for web and mobile apps.
Adobe XD vs Principle opinions
Adobe XD has only some predefined interactions. There is no control over interaction design.
Principle's main benefit comes in the fine control over animating UI interactions - XD does not offer comparable functionality (as of fall 2019).
Adobe XD is for UI Design, Principle is used for making interaction mockups, where design is ready. So even their main purpose is not similar!
