A diferença real
Both offer free tiers, so the real question is what you get when you start paying.
Figma stands out with Auto Layout and Component variants and variables. Rive counters with State machine editor for interactive animations and Lightweight runtimes for iOS, Android, Web, and Flutter.
Figma's Achilles heel: requires internet connection — offline mode is limited and the desktop app is basically a browser wrapper. Rive's: the state machine concept is powerful but intimidating — non-developers will hit a wall fast. Pick whichever weakness you can live with.
