- Very poor interface to start even a small project Guest • Nov 2019 • 0 agrees and 1 disagrees
- it's free and does the basics of ux/ui design and stencils/models are free as well Guest • Sep 2017 • 13 agrees and 2 disagrees
- Buggy, I get it's free and the developers have done an amazing job for free software but it really isn't good enough to replace sketch if you want to use it for a daily tool that your job depends on. If you your a product owner or an engineer and just want to get an idea put together it's fine. But it's not a UX designer's main tool solution. Guest • May 2018 • 7 agrees and 4 disagrees
- Pencil is projected to design apps and sites. That proposal lets Pencil a valuable alternative to Sketch. joaozitopolo • Jan 2018 • 5 agrees and 3 disagrees

Inkscape

Inkscape is a professional vector graphics editor for Linux, Windows and macOS. It's free and open source.
- Sketch is a UI design tool and its interface, feature set, and workflow are optimised for that. Inkscape is a (barely) adequate vector editor, but lacks even basic features necessary for UI design, such as pixel preview, multiple art boards, etc. Guest • Jan 2017 • 64 agrees and 23 disagrees
- Inkscape is a Vector program with barebone features, no workflow for web-design at all and the only way to make things pixel perfect is with a plugin that barely solves the issue. Guest • May 2017 • 37 agrees and 13 disagrees
- Inkskape is a vector drawing app, while sketch is much more specified in UI design Guest • Apr 2019 • 2 agrees and 0 disagrees
- They have completely different purposes, only the underlying vector graphics technology is similar. Guest • Dec 2018
- Too hard to use. Sketch is fast-learning. chipthrasher • Dec 2016 • 32 agrees and 21 disagrees
- Inkscape is a vectorial tool, Sketch has specialized options for screen design. tigerfenix • Jun 2018 • 2 agrees and 0 disagrees
- Not exactly designed for UI design Guest • Apr 2018 • 2 agrees and 0 disagrees
- Because it free and works on Windows! romamakovey • May 2018 • 0 agrees and 2 disagrees
- Inkscape is a vector editing tool for simply editing SVG files. Sketch is a vector editing tool for creating and designing digital interfaces for applications, websites, etc. Sketch has tools to create responsive interfaces, a complex plugin system, and an interface that is well done and easy to use. No offense, but Sketch is light years ahead of Inkscape as a tool for design. Guest • Jun 2017 • 5 agrees and 1 disagrees
- Inkscape is not comparable to Sketch. Guest • Feb 2017 • 2 agrees and 0 disagrees
