FigJam verdict
The obvious whiteboard for Figma-native teams. Facilitation-heavy organisations should still evaluate Miro.
- Cheapest path to a whiteboard if you already pay for Figma
- Very low learning curve
- Seamless design-file integration
Sketch verdict
Still excellent software, but only defensible for all-Mac teams that value native performance and licence ownership.
- Excellent native performance on large files
- Perpetual licence avoids subscription lock-in
- Precise vector tooling
