The panel's verdict
Sketch — a native Mac design app with a web workspace from Sketch B.V. of Eindhoven — scored at two extremes. Design and prototyping, at 5–6, documents Symbols in shared Libraries with starred versions and prototypes with overlays, triggers and scroll areas, with no public information on variables, tokens or component variants. Collaboration and handoff, at 6–7, covers browser-based inspect for all workspace members, a guest 'Can download and inspect' permission, and a local MCP server. The standout is file ownership and portability at 8–9: documents are ZIP archives of JSON, published as JSON Schema on npm with TypeScript types and versioned independently of the app. Pricing transparency is flat at 2: the page names free Viewers, 50GB per Editor, unlimited storage and custom terms from 15+ Editors, but no price figures — an annual cost cannot be computed. Brand asset governance, AI and content rights and sovereignty each scored 2–4 — no public information on a central brand library, AI training and output rights, or residency beyond the Private Cloud hosting choice — and the flagged splits show no flagged split.
Speaks for it
- Documents are ZIP archives of JSON with a published JSON Schema specification and TypeScript types on npm, versioned independently of the app.
- All workspace members can inspect in the browser and guests can be granted 'Can download and inspect' permission.
- The native Mac app works offline and Figma import is documented.
- Background removal processes images on the device, with images sent to neither Sketch nor an external provider.
- The MCP server runs locally on the Mac, is disabled by default, and the user chooses which third-party AI tools connect.
Held against it
- We found no per-seat price figures in the captured pages, so an annual cost cannot be computed.
- We found no public information on a central brand asset library, published guidelines, or rights and expiry metadata on licensed assets.
- We found no public information on AI training on customer files, named models, or commercial-use rights for generated output.
- We found no public information on where standard workspace files are hosted or on a subprocessor list, and the hosting location choice appears only on the Private Cloud plan.
- We found no public information on variables or tokens, component variants, or conditional logic in prototypes.
Best for
- You need design files in an open, documented format you can read, validate and generate without the vendor's app.
- Your developers take handoff in the browser and need inspect open to every workspace member and to guests.
- You run an all-Mac studio and want a native app that works offline.
- You are weighing the Private Cloud plan, which adds a hosting location choice, unlimited workspaces and invoice payment.
Avoid if
- You need published per-seat prices to compute an annual budget before talking to sales.
- Your team is not on macOS Sequoia (15.0.0) or newer.
- Your brand team needs a central logo and template library with licence and expiry metadata for non-designers.
- Your compliance review requires confirmed data residency and a subprocessor list on standard plans.

Design, prototyping & design systems
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
The making itself: vector and layout tools, interactive prototypes, and the shared components, styles and tokens that keep a company's products and materials consistent — judged on what the feature and help pages document, not on showcase images.
0 — A single-purpose editor with no reusable components, no shared styles and no prototyping.
3 — Templates and basic shapes or layouts, with styles saved per file only and prototyping limited to linking screens.
5 — Reusable components and shared styles across files, responsive or auto layout, clickable prototypes with transitions, and team libraries that update where they are used.
8 — A design system managed in the tool: variables or tokens for colour, type and spacing with modes or themes, component variants and properties, prototypes with conditional logic, and library change notes with versions.
10 — The design system is a governed product: library releases versioned and reviewable, token export in a documented format for development, usage analytics per component, and accessibility checks such as contrast built into the editor.
The Product Designer
Libraries with Symbols that propagate to everyone who uses them — including starred versions that control exactly which changes ship, and editors choosing which updates to pull in — are a real versioned release mechanism, and prototypes with overlays, hover, press and toggle triggers, scroll areas and animations are properly documented. I found no public information on tokens or variables with modes, component variants and properties, or prototypes with conditional logic, so this is a solid shared-library setup that stops short of a design system managed in the tool. 5 6 9
The Frontend Engineer
Reusable Symbols in shared Libraries that update where they're used, with starred versions and editor control over pulling in changes, plus prototypes with animations, overlays and scroll areas — that is the core of a solid mid-range tool. We found no public information on colour, type and spacing variables with modes or themes, component variants, conditional prototype logic, or accessibility checks in the editor, so the design-system-management step up isn't evidenced. 5 6 9
The Brand Marketer
Reusable Symbols with shared styles, controlled library releases through starred versions, and prototypes with overlays, hover, press and toggle triggers and animations make this a genuinely shared system. We found no public information on variables or tokens with modes or themes, component variants and properties, conditional prototype logic, or accessibility checks in the editor. 1 5 6 9
The Agency Owner
Symbols and Libraries are the real thing my teams hand over: instances customise without touching the source, versions can be starred to control exactly what the team receives, and editors choose which library updates to pull in. Prototypes go well past linking screens with overlays, hover, press and toggle triggers, scrolling frames and animations. We found no public information on variables or tokens with modes and themes, component variants, or conditional logic in prototypes, which is what the top of this scale asks for. 1 5 6 9
The Data Protection Officer
Reusable Symbols shared through team Libraries, with editors notified of changes and starred versions controlling what is shared, plus shared styles across the document, are documented alongside prototypes with overlays, hover, press and toggle triggers, scroll areas, fixed elements and animations. We found no public information on variables or tokens with modes, component variants and properties, conditional prototype logic, or built-in accessibility checks, so this sits at the middle of the scale. 5 6 9
The Skeptic
Symbols with shared styles across libraries, starred library releases and opt-in updates are documented, and prototyping goes well past linking screens with overlays, hover and toggle triggers, scroll areas and animations. But the documented pages stop short of a managed design system: I found no public information on variables or tokens with themes, component variants, or prototype logic beyond triggers. 5 6 9
Collaboration, review & developer handoff
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
Working on the same files with colleagues, clients and developers: comments and review, permissions for internal and external people, and the handoff that gives engineering measurements, assets and code rather than screenshots.
0 — Files shared as exports or links with no comments, no permissions beyond view or edit, and no developer view.
3 — Real-time co-editing and comments, but external reviewers need a paid seat or full access, and developers get only exported images.
5 — Comments with mentions and resolution, view-only and comment-only access for guests without a paid seat, permissions per file and project, and an inspect mode with measurements, styles and asset export.
8 — Branching or review of changes before they reach the main file, version history with restore, a developer mode that links components to code, an API and plugins documented, and named integrations with issue trackers and code tools.
10 — Handoff is a contract between design and code: component properties mapped to code components, token and asset export automated through the API, an audit log of access and sharing, and external access governed by domain, expiry and admin policy.
The Product Designer
Commenting is thorough — mentions, threads, resolution, follow, comments on prototypes, and comment or inspect permissions for guests and viewers — and handoff is genuinely built for developers: browser-based inspection, export, an MCP server, and a documented developer platform around an open file format. I found no public information on branching or review of changes before they reach the main file, on version history with restore spelled out, or on named integrations with issue trackers and code tools, which is why it sits below the next step. 2 7 8 9 1
The Frontend Engineer
This is what I keep asking for: browser-based inspect where any developer can grab what they need, free Viewers with developer handoff included, and guests grantable a "Can download and inspect" permission — nobody codes from screenshots. Comments get mentions, threads, resolution and scoped notifications, the web app carries version history, and the developer platform documents a whole-file API plus an MCP server that runs locally and is off by default. We found no public information on branching or review before changes reach the main file, on restore from version history, or on named issue-tracker integrations, which keeps this short of the top levels. 2 7 8 10 3
The Brand Marketer
Commenting is thorough — threads, mentions, resolution and notification scopes per thread, frame or document — and guests can view and, with the right share setting, download and inspect, while developers get documented inspect and export plus a local MCP server. We found no public information on branching before changes reach the main file, restoring past versions, or named integrations with issue trackers and code tools beyond the file-format developer platform. 2 7 8 1
The Agency Owner
Commenting is genuinely finished — mentions, resolution, notifications scoped per thread or document, an inbox, and comment rights I can dial down for viewers and guests on a link. All workspace members and invited guests can inspect in the browser, version history is included in the web app, and a developer platform with plugins and an MCP server is documented. We found no public information on branching or review before changes reach the main file, on restoring versions, or on integrations with issue trackers. 2 7 8 1
The Data Protection Officer
Commenting is documented in depth — mentions, Markdown, threads, resolution, an inbox and notification scopes per thread, frame or document — with public links view-only, sign-in required to comment, and commenting switchable off for Viewers and Guests. Developers get browser-based Inspect and Export, a guest permission to download and inspect, an MCP Server, and a documented Developer Platform over the open file format. We found no public information on branching before changes reach the main file, restoring earlier versions, or named integrations with issue trackers. 2 7 8 1
The Skeptic
Commenting is documented in unusual depth — threads, mentions, resolution, scoped notifications, comment rights switchable for Viewers and Guests without a paid seat — and browser-based inspect is open to every workspace member and to guests granted download-and-inspect. Version history, a developer platform and plugins are named, but I found no public information on branching, restoring past versions, or named issue-tracker and code integrations. 7 8 2 1
Brand assets & governance
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
Keeping a brand usable and correct across a company: a central library for logos, images and templates, brand guidelines people can find, locked templates that let non-designers produce material, and rights and expiry metadata on every licensed asset.
0 — No shared asset library; logos and images are uploaded per file by whoever needs them.
3 — A shared folder of assets and some templates, but no guidelines, no locking of brand elements and no metadata beyond file names.
5 — A central brand library with logos, colours and fonts, templates with locked elements for non-designers, brand guidelines published in the tool, and tagging and search across assets.
8 — Rights, usage and expiry metadata on assets with warnings or automatic withdrawal on expiry, approval workflows for new assets and template output, version control on assets, and access per team, market or partner.
10 — Brand governance is auditable: every asset carries its licence, owner and permitted use, usage of each asset is tracked across files and channels, distribution to external partners is logged, and the whole library with metadata is exportable in a documented format.
The Product Designer
Everything documented about shared libraries concerns design Symbols for makers, not brand assets for a company; I found no public information on a central brand library for logos and templates, published brand guidelines, locked templates for non-designers, or rights and expiry metadata on licensed assets. 6
The Frontend Engineer
Shared Libraries exist, but they are component libraries for design reuse, and we found no public information on a central brand library of logos, images and templates, locked brand elements for non-designers, published guidelines, tagging and search, or rights and expiry metadata on licensed assets. With even template output and approvals undocumented, this sits at the bottom of the range. 6 9
The Brand Marketer
Library Symbols with starred versions give controlled shared components, and frame templates exist for scrolling prototypes. We found no public information on locked templates that let non-designers produce material, brand guidelines published in the tool, tagging and search across assets, or licence and expiry metadata on images — the checks my twelve offices would need before anyone makes a flyer. 5 6
The Agency Owner
The shared Symbol libraries would carry a logo if I put one there, and that is the extent of what the captured pages show. We found no public information on a central brand asset library, published guidelines, locked templates for non-designers, or rights and expiry metadata on licensed assets; bitmap images live inside each document's own archive. 6 9
The Data Protection Officer
Team Libraries with Symbols, update notifications and starred versions provide shared, version-controlled components, but this serves design systems rather than brand assets. We found no public information on a central library for logos, images and templates, brand guidelines published in the tool, locked templates for non-designers, or rights and expiry metadata on licensed assets. 5 6
The Skeptic
The only shared-asset mechanism I can read is Symbol libraries with version starring, which is component reuse rather than brand governance. I found no public information on a central logo and image library, brand guidelines in the tool, locked templates for non-designers, or licence and expiry metadata on assets. 6
Files, formats & portability
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
Whether the work can leave: open or documented file formats, export that keeps layers, vectors and components, offline or self-hosted options, and what happens to files after a downgrade, a removed seat or a cancelled contract.
0 — Files exist only in the vendor's cloud in a proprietary format, export is a flat image, and nothing is said about files after cancellation.
3 — Export to PNG, PDF and SVG per frame, but no export of whole files with structure, and files after a downgrade or cancellation addressed only in general terms.
5 — Whole files exportable to a local or documented format, vector and layered export (SVG, PDF) with text kept as text, bulk export of a team's files, and a stated period during which files remain accessible after cancellation.
8 — An open or publicly documented file format, export and import with other tools documented, an API that reads full file structure, files of removed users transferred to the organisation by policy, and a stated deletion timeline after the contract ends.
10 — Portability is built in: an open-source or openly specified format, self-hosting or a local-first option, round-trip export without loss of components and prototypes, and the customer's ownership of all files and their export rights written into the terms.
The Product Designer
This is the crown jewel: the native document format is an openly specified ZIP of JSON, published as JSON Schema and TypeScript types on npm, versioned independently, and readable and writable without the app — portability is built into the format rather than bolted on as export, and the native Mac app works offline with a documented Figma import. I found no public information on what happens to files after cancellation or on customer ownership written into the terms, which keeps it just short of the top step. 2 9 10 1
The Frontend Engineer
The file format is the best answer in this whole evaluation to my main ask: documents are ZIP archives of JSON, the specification is published as JSON Schema with auto-generated TypeScript types and versioned independently of the app, and you can read, modify or generate documents without opening Sketch — the API sees the whole file, not a screenshot. The native Mac app works offline and Private Cloud adds a hosting location choice, with Figma import documented as well. We found no public information on what happens to files after a downgrade or cancelled contract, on transfer of removed users' files by policy, or on ownership and export rights written into the terms. 2 9 10 1
The Brand Marketer
The document format is openly specified — ZIP archives of JSON with published JSON Schema and TypeScript types, versioned independently of the app — and the native Mac app works offline, with a Private Cloud option and Figma import. We found no public information on file ownership written into the terms, transfer of removed users' files to the organisation, or a stated deletion timeline after the contract ends. 2 9 10 1
The Agency Owner
This is the portability story I wish every vendor had: documents are ZIP archives of JSON, the format is published as JSON Schema on npm with auto-generated TypeScript types, versioned independently of the app, and you can read, generate or modify documents without opening Sketch. The native Mac app works offline, there is a Private Cloud plan with a hosting location choice, and Figma import is documented. We found no public information on what happens to workspace files after a cancelled contract, or on file ownership written into the terms. 1 2 9 10
The Data Protection Officer
Sketch documents are ZIP archives of JSON, with the specification published as JSON Schema and auto-generated TypeScript types on npm, versioned independently of the app, so full file structure can be read, validated and generated without Sketch; Figma import, plugins and a Developer Platform are documented too. The native Mac app works offline and a Private Cloud plan offers hosting location choice. We found no public information on customer file ownership in the terms of service, on a deletion timeline after the contract ends, or on files of removed members transferring to the organisation. 1 2 9 10
The Skeptic
The document format is published as a ZIP of JSON with a JSON Schema specification, TypeScript types and independent versioning via npm — the file itself is the export — alongside Figma import, a native Mac app that works offline, and a Private Cloud plan with a hosting location choice. What I could not find is what the terms say about file ownership after cancellation, or any stated transfer or deletion policy for the files of removed users. 9 10 1 2
AI features & rights to the work
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
What the vendor's AI does with the customer's files and what the customer may do with the AI's output: training on customer content and the opt-out, the models and where they run, commercial use of generated images, stock licences and indemnity.
0 — Generative features with no statement on training on customer files, no named models, and no word on whether output may be used commercially.
3 — An AI page that promises responsibility but leaves open whether customer files train models, and output rights are stated only for some features or only in community terms.
5 — Training on customer content excluded or opt-out documented, AI features switchable by an admin for the organisation, model providers named, and commercial use of generated output permitted in the terms.
8 — Training excluded by default for business plans, the processing location of AI features stated, generated content labelled or carrying content credentials, stock and template licences stated per asset type, and an IP indemnity for generated output on a named plan.
10 — AI is governed in writing: a per-feature list of models, providers and locations, admin controls per team and feature, a log of AI use, training exclusion and output ownership in the contract terms, and indemnity and licence limits published in full.
The Product Designer
What is documented is refreshingly contained: background removal runs on-device using Apple's local machine-learning frameworks with images sent to no one, and the MCP server for third-party AI tools runs locally on the Mac, is disabled by default, and is user-controlled. I found no public information on whether customer files train models, on commercial-use rights for AI output, on admin-level control per feature, or on any indemnity, so the rights picture is incomplete. 1 3
The Frontend Engineer
Where the captured pages speak, they speak well: background removal runs on-device with Apple's frameworks with images not sent to Sketch or an external provider, and the MCP server runs locally on the Mac, is disabled by default, and the user chooses which compatible AI tools connect. Beyond that the AI surface is a module listing, and we found no public information on training on customer files, commercial-use rights for generated output, per-feature model and provider lists, organisation-level admin switches, or indemnity. 1 3
The Brand Marketer
The privacy pages state where two features run — background removal on-device, and a local MCP server disabled by default — but no generative models are named, and we found no public information on whether customer files train models, whether generated images may be used commercially, or on stock licences and indemnity. My trade-fair stand question has no answer in the captured pages. 1 3
The Agency Owner
The AI that is documented runs on the customer's machine: background removal uses Apple's on-device frameworks with images never sent to Sketch or an external provider, and the MCP server is local, disabled by default, with the customer choosing which tools connect. Beyond that, we found no public information on training on customer content for other AI features, on named models, or on commercial use and ownership of generated output. 1 3
The Data Protection Officer
Two AI features are documented with a strong data posture: background removal runs via Apple's on-device machine-learning frameworks with images not sent to Sketch or an external provider, and the MCP server runs locally on the Mac, disabled by default, with the user choosing which third-party AI tools to connect. Beyond these, an AI module is named on the homepage without detail, and we found no public information on training on customer files, named models for generative features, commercial use of generated output, content credentials or indemnity — and the controls that exist are per-user choices rather than organisation-wide settings. 1 3
The Skeptic
Two AI features are pinned down in writing — background removal runs on-device and sends images to neither Sketch nor any provider, and the MCP server is local, disabled by default and user-controlled — which is more than a vague responsibility page. But the captured pages name no models or providers, are silent on whether customer files train anything, and say nothing about commercial use rights or indemnity for generated output. 3 1
European sovereignty
panel opinion
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
Who the contracting entity is, where design files, brand assets and AI prompts are stored and processed, and which subprocessors touch them. Independently sourced by the sovereignty pipeline.
0 — Non-EU contracting entity, no statement on where files are hosted, and subprocessors unnamed.
3 — EU data residency available only on an enterprise plan or not at all, or the subprocessor list is absent, or AI features send files outside the EU without an explained safeguard.
5 — EU hosting stated for files, a DPA available, but the contracting entity or significant parts of the chain (AI, rendering, support) are non-EU without a stated safeguard.
8 — EU contracting entity, files, assets and backups stored in the EU on named infrastructure, subprocessor list published with locations and purposes, and AI processing location stated.
10 — Sovereign end to end and evidenced: European ownership, EU entity, every hosting, AI and support subprocessor European or optional, self-hosting or a European cloud offered, and certifications published.
The Product Designer
The contracting entity appears European — Sketch B.V. with Dutch civil law cited for retention — and the AI processing that is documented happens locally on the device. I found no public information on where workspace files and backups are hosted on standard plans, and no subprocessor list with locations and purposes; a hosting location choice appears only with the Private Cloud plan. 1 2 3
The Frontend Engineer
The copyright line names Sketch B.V. and the privacy policy leans on Dutch civil law and Dutch fiscal obligations, which points Dutch, but the captured pages state no data residency for design files and no subprocessor list, and a hosting location choice appears only with Private Cloud. We found no public information on a published data-processing agreement or on where files, assets and AI prompts are processed beyond the on-device features, so this rests at the level where residency is a top-plan option and subprocessors go unnamed. 1 2 3
The Brand Marketer
The vendor presents itself as an independent company, the privacy policy references Dutch civil law, and AI processing can stay on my own Mac; hosting location choice appears only for Private Cloud. The contracting entity's jurisdiction and standard-plan data residency are not confirmed on the captured pages, and we found no published subprocessor list, data processing agreement reference or certifications. 2 1 3
The Agency Owner
The company is registered in Eindhoven and its privacy policy leans on Dutch civil and fiscal law, and the documented AI processing stays on the customer's own Mac — a European posture I appreciate. But the hosting location is a choice only on the Private Cloud plan, and we found no public information on where standard workspace files are stored, on ownership, or on any subprocessor list. 1 2 3
The Data Protection Officer
The footer names Sketch B.V. and the privacy policy cites Dutch civil law limitation periods and Dutch fiscal obligations, but we found no public information confirming the contracting entity's jurisdiction on the vendor's own pages, on where workspace files and backups are hosted, or on any subprocessor list with locations and purposes. Hosting location choice appears only on the Private Cloud plan. The documented AI features process on the device, which at least keeps those images and prompts on the customer's own Mac. 1 2 3
The Skeptic
The copyright line names Sketch B.V. and the privacy policy runs on Dutch retention law, but the captured pages never confirm the contracting jurisdiction, state where workspace files are hosted, or name a single subprocessor. The only residency signal is a hosting location choice reserved for the Private Cloud plan, while the AI features that are documented run locally on the Mac. 2 3 1
Pricing transparency
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
Whether a buyer can compute the annual cost for their team from public pages alone — which seat types exist and what each may do, how viewers and guests are billed, how seats are added and trued up, AI credits, and the plan where SSO, admin controls and brand features begin.
0 — No public prices at all; every plan is a sales conversation.
3 — A per-seat price for an entry plan, but the seat types, the billing of guests and reviewers, and the plan needed for business features are unclear.
5 — Plans priced per seat type with their main features, but at least one commonly incurred cost (seat upgrades on request, AI credits, storage, brand or SSO add-ons) is missing or "on request".
8 — Every plan and seat type priced, free viewers and guests stated with their limits, how and when added seats are billed explained, AI credits and storage priced or included explicitly, and the plan that unlocks SSO and admin controls named.
10 — Complete cost computability: annual cost derivable for a given mix of editors, viewers and guests, true-up and auto-upgrade rules published, every add-on priced publicly, and contract term, renewal and downgrade conditions stated.
The Product Designer
Plan structure is legible — storage at 50GB per Editor with unlimited on Enterprise and Private Cloud, one Workspace versus unlimited, custom terms and priority support for 15+ Editors, pay-by-invoice on Enterprise — but I found no public price figures on the captured pages: no per-seat price, no viewer or guest billing, no AI credit or add-on pricing, and the plan that unlocks admin controls is not named. 2 1
The Frontend Engineer
The pricing page lays out real structure — get started for free, free Viewers with version history and developer handoff included, 50GB per Editor of storage, one Workspace on other plans with unlimited on Private Cloud, and pay-by-invoice, custom terms and priority support for Enterprise at 15+ Editors. But I found no per-seat figures in any capture, and no public information on how guests and reviewers are billed, how and when added seats are charged, AI credit pricing, or which plan unlocks SSO and admin controls — a buyer cannot compute an annual cost from these pages alone. 2 1
The Brand Marketer
The pricing page compares plans on storage per editor and workspace counts, and states free viewers in the web app, with a free tier and free education licences elsewhere. We found no per-seat prices in the captured pages, and no AI credit pricing, add-on prices, or a named plan for admin controls — so an annual cost for my twelve offices cannot be computed from these pages alone. 1 2 1
The Agency Owner
The captured pricing page shows a real structure — free viewers, 50GB per Editor of storage, unlimited storage and custom terms from fifteen Editors up, pay-by-invoice for Enterprise and Private Cloud — but we found no price figures for any plan or seat type in the captured pages. Without per-seat numbers I cannot compute an annual cost for a fifteen-person studio, and we found no public information on how added seats are billed or where SSO and admin controls begin. 1 2 1
The Data Protection Officer
The pricing page differentiates plans by workspaces, storage of 50GB per Editor with Unlimited on Enterprise and Private Cloud, invoice payment, and custom terms and priority support for Enterprise at 15+ Editors, while a free tier, free education and free Viewers are stated. We found no public information on per-seat prices for any plan, on how added seats are billed, or on the plan where single sign-on and admin controls begin, so an annual cost for a given team cannot be computed from the captured pages. 1 2 1
The Skeptic
A pricing page exists and names the plan ladder, 50GB of storage per Editor and free Viewers, but not a single seat price, guest or reviewer billing rule, AI credit cost, or the plan where SSO and admin controls begin appears anywhere I could read. Without one figure on these pages, an annual cost for a team cannot even be started. 2 1

Questions about Sketch
Is Sketch European?
Yes. whats-best.ai classifies Sketch as EU-Made.
Where does Sketch store data?
Not stated on the vendor’s pages as of 13 Oct 2026.
Does Sketch have a free plan?
Not stated on the vendor’s pages as of 13 Oct 2026.
What are the best alternatives to Sketch?
As of 16 Oct 2026, the panel rates Penpot (2.5/5), Frontify (2.5/5) and Figma (2.5/5) highest among the other 13 Design products evaluated. Ratings that look equal are rounded to half stars; the order uses the unrounded rating, then the name. The highest-rated European alternative is Penpot (EU-Made). Ratings are the AI panel’s opinion, formed from public evidence: how scores are made. The full list, with European products first: Sketch alternatives.
Where this could be wrong
- Evidence ages. The oldest capture behind this page is from 1 Oct 2026. Vendors change pricing and policies without notice; every fact reflects its source as of the capture date shown in the registry.
- Weak sourcing — Legal entity. Not confirmed on the vendor’s own pages as captured.
- AI can misread a source. Extraction and judgement are automated; a citation guarantees traceability, not infallibility. If something here is wrong, say so — no account needed, every report is decided within 5 business days, and accepted corrections are published.
What we left out
A claim that does not survive our checks costs us the claim, not the page. This is what was taken off this one.
