Running the business

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.
3D and AR design that runs in a browser
Vectary puts 3D modelling in a browser tab, which is the difference between trying it and not. Models can be shared as a link, embedded in a page or placed in a room through a phone camera with no app in the way. Designers use it for product shots and interactive scenes that would otherwise mean learning heavier software. Anybody doing character work or simulation is in the wrong place.
Our note
Check the revenue cap before standardising on the Pro plan, because it is the kind of term that only becomes a problem after the work is already built here. For a freelancer or a small brand it is irrelevant, and the free tier is genuinely enough to decide whether the browser editor suits you.
