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. Webflow counters with Visual CSS/HTML builder with full code control and Built-in CMS for blogs, portfolios, and dynamic content.
Penpot's Achilles heel: still catching up to figma on polish and plugin ecosystem — feels rough around the edges. Webflow's: steep learning curve if you do not understand css concepts — it is visual but not simple. 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 designers que querem construir matters more, Webflow is your pick. Neither is a bad choice — but one will fit your workflow better.
