STOA's verdictRating 7.1 out of 10
Penpot is a great pick if you have a small design team that wants a free, professional tool for creating app interfaces, prototypes, and design systems without paying Figma's monthly fees.
The biggest win is that it's completely free for most small teams, and you can even host it yourself for full data control. The downside is that it's not as polished as Figma yet, and your team may hit a learning curve if they're switching from other tools.
