A diferença real
Both offer free tiers, so the real question is what you get when you start paying.
Adobe XD stands out with Repeat grid and Auto-animate. Penpot counters with Open source and self-hostable and SVG-native design.
Adobe XD's Achilles heel: adobe effectively abandoned it — no major updates since 2023, figma won the market. Penpot's: still catching up to figma on polish and plugin ecosystem — feels rough around the edges. Pick whichever weakness you can live with.
Conclusão
If you value repeat grid and times que já pagam, go with Adobe XD. If defensores do open-source que matters more, Penpot is your pick. Neither is a bad choice — but one will fit your workflow better.
