September 15, 2025
Figma ($749.1M)
Figma is a collaborative interface design tool that enables the entire team’s design process to happen in one online tool.
Framer ($161M)
Framer is a website design platform that empowers users to design, publish, and manage custom websites using a visual editing canvas.
Figma and Framer both create platforms for digital interface designers. These are online services that can work in a browser without installing heavy programs like Photoshop. They provide various tools for editing images, support real-time collaboration, export of finished layouts and prototypes to HTML and support community-created plugins. Both are available for free, but offer paid plans for advanced features.
But Figma (launched in 2016) is an American universal service for graphic design, interface design and prototyping (an online alternative to Sketch and Adobe XD). In addition to the web interface, it provides a convenient desktop client that works faster, especially in teamwork sessions. It also includes FigJam messenger for collaborative brainstorming. In general, Figma has a stronger teamwork and version control system
Framer (2013) is a Dutch service known as a code-based prototyping tool but mainly specializes in no-code website building. It is better suited for creating animation and interactive elements. And in addition to design, it offers hosting and publishing web-sites directly from the editor. Framer is suitable not only for designers, but also for marketers and startups
