{"slug":"figma-vs-sketch)","title":"Figma vs Sketch","url":"https://www.aversusb.net/compare/figma-vs-sketch)","faqCount":5,"faqs":[{"question":"Can I use Figma offline?","answer":"Figma requires an internet connection for most features, though it has limited offline capabilities in the web browser through service workers. For offline work, Sketch is the better choice with full native offline support on macOS. Figma is designed primarily as a cloud-first collaborative platform."},{"question":"Does Sketch work on Windows?","answer":"No, Sketch is exclusively available for macOS. There is no official Windows version. Windows users can access Figma through a web browser, making Figma the only choice for cross-platform teams. Some designers use web-based alternatives or virtualization on Windows, but native Sketch is Mac-only."},{"question":"Which tool is better for team collaboration?","answer":"Figma is significantly better for team collaboration with native real-time multiplayer editing, live cursors, and integrated commenting. Sketch requires manual file sharing or third-party integrations like Abstract or Plant. For distributed or large teams, Figma's collaboration features are substantially more efficient."},{"question":"Can I export designs from Sketch to Figma or vice versa?","answer":"Both tools support exporting to standard formats (SVG, PDF, PNG), but direct file conversion is limited. Figma can import some Sketch files but with potential formatting loss. For seamless migration, plan for manual recreation of complex designs or use third-party migration services."},{"question":"What's the total cost of ownership for a 10-person design team?","answer":"Figma: $120-240/month ($1,440-2,880/year) for 10 editors at $12-24/month each. Sketch: $1,188/year at $12/month subscription per person, or $990 if using the one-time $99 purchase option. Sketch's one-time purchase option provides significant long-term savings for stable teams, while Figma's team plan may offer discounts."}],"faqPageSchema":{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","@id":"https://www.aversusb.net/compare/figma-vs-sketch)#faq","url":"https://www.aversusb.net/compare/figma-vs-sketch)","inLanguage":"en","name":"Figma vs Sketch — FAQ","description":"Frequently asked questions about Figma vs Sketch","author":{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://www.aversusb.net/#organization","name":"A Versus B"},"isPartOf":{"@type":"Article","@id":"https://www.aversusb.net/compare/figma-vs-sketch)#article"},"mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"Can I use Figma offline?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Figma requires an internet connection for most features, though it has limited offline capabilities in the web browser through service workers.
