Penpot review

Penpot is the pick for anyone who uses Canva for interface mockups, wireframes or design systems and wants an open alternative. It is open source, runs in Penpot's cloud or on your own servers, and its pricing page says all prices are in USD. The Professional plan costs nothing and Penpot describes it as free and fully featured, with no file limits and unlimited teams. Unlimited costs $7 per editor a month, capped at $175 a month no matter the team size, and adds up to 10GB of storage, 30 days of autosaved versions and early access to features. Enterprise at $25 per member adds single sign-on, a choice of hosting region and IP whitelisting. The catch is fit: Penpot is a vector design and prototyping tool, so it lacks the large stock template libraries that make Canva quick for social posts. Pick it for product and web design, not for weekly flyers.
