Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Figma
- No offline editing capability, can only view and create new files when disconnected
- Mobile apps are read-only, cannot edit designs on iOS or Android
- No self-hosted option, requires cloud connectivity and internet access
- Performance degradation with large files containing thousands of layers
- Library components and unloaded pages not accessible offline
Statsig
- Pro plan is limited to a single project, requiring Enterprise for multi-project support.
- Overage pricing on the Pro plan can become costly for high-event-volume products.
- Warehouse-native deployment and advanced access controls are gated behind custom Enterprise contracts.
- Free tier session replay and analytics retention are capped, pushing active teams toward paid tiers quickly.
