Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Sketch

macOS-only for editing, blocking Windows and Linux users from accessing design features
Real-time collaboration feels less seamless than Figma with occasional sync delays
Limited built-in image editing capabilities, requiring external software for bitmap work
Subscription required for cloud features and collaboration, losing access if subscription lapses

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.
