Both cover design & graphics. Here is what separates them on price, billing, what you can take with you, and coverage.

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.
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.
Build an email template once, export it anywhere
Stripo designs the email and then hands it to whatever actually sends it, exporting to a long list of platforms rather than trying to be one. That suits anybody happy with their sending tool and unhappy with its editor. Modules can be saved and reused across a team so a brand's blocks stay consistent. It does not send, track or hold a list, so it is an addition to an email stack rather than a replacement for one.
Our note
This earns its place as an addition rather than a replacement, so price it on top of what you already pay to send rather than against it. If your current tool's editor is merely adequate, the money is better spent elsewhere; if it is actively costing you hours a month, this pays back quickly.
