figma-vs-sketch-for-teams

Most Figma vs Sketch comparisons stop at the price of one designer seat. That's rarely where the real difference is.

When we tested both on real projects, three things changed the answer the most:

• Who you have to pay for. One tool bills developers who inspect designs; the other lets them do it free. Add a few devs and the totals move a lot.
• Which computers your team uses. A single Windows designer can rule one of these tools out for editing.
• Subscription vs. owning it. One option lets you pay once instead of monthly, but there's a trade-off you should know first.

The "better" tool depends on your team, and it's often not the one people expect.
