La vraie différence
Both offer free tiers, so the real question is what you get when you start paying.
Figma stands out with Auto Layout and Dev mode for handoff. Penpot counters with Open source and self-hostable and SVG-native design.
Figma's Achilles heel: requires internet connection — offline mode is limited and the desktop app is basically a browser wrapper. Penpot's: still catching up to figma on polish and plugin ecosystem — feels rough around the edges. Pick whichever weakness you can live with.
Le verdict
If you value auto layout and les équipes design qui, go with Figma. If les défenseurs de l'open-source matters more, Penpot is your pick. Neither is a bad choice — but one will fit your workflow better.
