From my point of view they are miles away from Sketch in terms of functionality and experience they can offer.

It was last year and at that moment I believed that these new updates will help to catch up with XD and Figma.

While we monitor Sketch blogs, email newsletter we got excited again for 2020 upcoming Sketch for Teams, cloud and promised collaboration functionality. It is not only the pricing issue, but the entire workflow going back and forth feels not right and counter-productive. Since we need a lot of seats Sympli by itself costs a fortune as designers and developers need that access. Plant goes about 144$ per year and Sympli 108$ per seat.
#ADOBE XD EXAMPLES LICENSE#
Invision team license costs about 300$ per year. Sketch 99$ per year since obviously people need updates. Some services I found useful, but it adds up initial monthly costs to be expensive. Since Sketch is the industry-standard tool the missing product features created a lot of opportunities for new businesses to arise. Sometimes also Anima to create smart adaptive layouts. For design sync we used Plant, for sharing designs with clients or PMs Invision, for creating animations Principle and for sharing with developers Sympli. That when a design tool requires so many other services to be functional at its minimalistic level is outrageous. It was not working perfectly and sometimes we were resolving conflicts when we tried to push designs to the service cloud from the plugin. Some work got lost and it was a tedious process which tested your nerves.Ĭollaboration was really a pain and for that you have to use plugins, other services to be in sync with other designers. However, while working on bigger projects I saw serious performance issues when Sketch started crashing often. It helped to save many hours we improved consistency and sped up the entire workflow. What I liked about Sketch at first was symbols and how you can have nested symbols inside. We were excited about how easy it is to use, sharing with others tips and tricks, shortcuts.

Most of the team got used to Sketch and it was a really praised tool at the beginning of transition.
