How we score tools →

Sketch is the Mac-native design tool that UK product teams have used for a decade to design interfaces, icons, and design systems. It pioneered the symbol-and-library approach that makes scaling UI components painless. Sketch now offers real-time collaboration, developer handoff, and cloud workspaces, with pricing around £9/month per editor. It remains Mac-only, which is a consideration for mixed-OS teams — Figma is the better choice there. GDPR compliant with EU data hosting, Sketch is still beloved by British design teams who prefer its native Mac performance and plugin ecosystem.
