Alternatives to Sketch for Mac with any license

Inkscape

An Open Source vector graphics editor, with capabilities similar to Illustrator, CorelDraw, or Xara X, using the W3C standard Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) file format....
- 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 • 55 agrees and 16 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 • 29 agrees and 8 disagrees
- Too hard to use. Sketch is fast-learning. chipthrasher • Dec 2016 • 30 agrees and 17 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
- Not exactly designed for UI design Guest • Apr 2018 • 2 agrees and 0 disagrees
- Inkscape is not comparable to Sketch. Guest • Feb 2017 • 2 agrees and 0 disagrees
- Inkscape is a vectorial tool, Sketch has specialized options for screen design. tigerfenix • Jun 2018 • 2 agrees and 0 disagrees
- While Inkscape can be used for the same purpose as Sketch, which is almost exclusively UI and UX design, it lacks way too many features for that task to call it an alternative to Sketch.
- They have completely different purposes, only the underlying vector graphics technology is similar. Guest • Dec 2018
- Because it free and works on Windows! romamakovey • May 2018 • 0 agrees and 1 disagrees

- It's an alternative to teams that know sketch and are looking for a similar tool that offers cross-platform compatibility. It offers a similar workflow and features, runs on the browser, and adds some great things like collaboration, versioning, history, and more. Guest • Apr 2017 • 2 agrees and 2 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
- 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 • 4 agrees and 3 disagrees

- Adobe XD is a good alternative to Sketch if you're already paying for Adobe Creative Suite and don't want to pay for another tool.
