Figma

The default for interface design, and it earned it.

Visit Figma Freemium

Figma became the standard because it solved collaboration before anyone else: multiple people editing the same file in a browser, with comments and version history that actually work. For interface design it covers everything from wireframes to production-ready components with variables and auto-layout. The free tier is limited to three files but is genuinely usable for a solo project.

Where it falls short

Pricing for additional editors is steep, and file-format lock-in is real, though exports are workable.
