La verdadera diferencia
Both offer free tiers, so the real question is what you get when you start paying.
Rive stands out with State machine editor for interactive animations and Lightweight runtimes for iOS, Android, Web, and Flutter. Sketch counters with Vector editing and Symbols and shared styles.
Rive's Achilles heel: the state machine concept is powerful but intimidating — non-developers will hit a wall fast. Sketch's: mac only — no windows, no linux, no web app. lost massive market share to figma. Pick whichever weakness you can live with.
Conclusión
If you value state machine editor for interactive animations and desarrolladores de apps y, go with Rive. If equipos de diseño exclusivos matters more, Sketch is your pick. Neither is a bad choice — but one will fit your workflow better.
