A diferença real
Both offer free tiers, so the real question is what you get when you start paying.
Penpot stands out with Open source and self-hostable and SVG-native design. Spline counters with Browser-based 3D modeling with real-time collaboration and 3D animations and interactive scenes without code.
Penpot's Achilles heel: still catching up to figma on polish and plugin ecosystem — feels rough around the edges. Spline's: not a replacement for serious 3d work — geometry tools are basic compared to blender or cinema 4d. Pick whichever weakness you can live with.
Conclusão
If you value open source and self-hostable and defensores do open-source que, go with Penpot. If web designers e devs matters more, Spline is your pick. Neither is a bad choice — but one will fit your workflow better.
