Shaded rows are where the two answers disagree and both listings have answered. A row where one side has not stated a fact is left plain, because silence is not a difference.
Figma
Interface design and prototyping in a browser
Figma is where most interface design happens now, and creators arrive at it for brand kits, thumbnails and anything a developer has to build from later. Files live in the browser and several people can be inside one at the same time without anybody emailing a version. The free Starter plan carries unlimited drafts, which covers solo work. Seats are priced by what you actually do in the file.
Our note
The free tier is genuinely enough for one person maintaining their own brand assets, and the seat split is what makes bringing in an editor or a developer affordable. Penpot is the answer if self-hosting or open formats matter to you.
Flaticon
Icons free with credit, or paid without
Flaticon is an icon and sticker library where the free tier is genuinely usable and the paid one removes the credit line. Free downloads arrive as PNG and require attribution; paying opens SVG, EPS, PSD and base64, which is what matters when an icon has to be recoloured or scaled rather than pasted. An editor in the browser handles the recolouring without a round trip to another application. Collections are capped at three on the free tier, so anybody organising a large set will hit that before they hit a download limit.
