Penpot is the open-source alternative to Figma with real-time collaboration, components, and prototyping. Self-hostable and based on open standards (SVG).
Reviewer scorecard
“The motion quality rivals Runway at a fraction of the price. Lip sync feature is great for creating talking head content. Best value in AI video right now.”
“Impressive for open source but the feature gap with Figma is still noticeable. Plugins and community resources are limited.”
“Surprisingly good for the price point. The free tier is generous enough to actually evaluate. Some generation artifacts but improving rapidly.”
“Free and self-hostable design tool. For teams that can't use Figma (security, cost, sovereignty), Penpot is the answer.”
“The API is limited and the platform is primarily Chinese-language focused. For production integration, Runway's API is more mature and developer-friendly.”
“Open-source Figma alternative that's genuinely usable. SVG-native output and self-hosting are significant advantages.”
