Open-source Figma alternative you can self-host
An open-source design and prototyping tool built on web standards, with no seat limits on the self-hosted version.
Use when
You need design tooling without per-seat dollar costs, or you want to self-host.
Skip when
You collaborate with external designers who work in Figma.
Free and open source, and self-hostable, which removes the per-editor dollar subscription that makes Figma expensive for a small African team. Works in the browser with no license management. Genuinely less mature than Figma - plugin ecosystem and polish lag - so the trade is cost and control against convenience.
