Framer verdict
The fastest route from design to a live marketing site. Not a replacement for a product design tool.
- Genuinely ships production sites from design
- Strong animation controls without code
- Built-in CMS covers most marketing needs
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
