| Biggest strength | Industry-leading passkey support with cross-device synchronisation and passwordless login capability | Real-time collaboration is genuinely excellent — multiple designers can work simultaneously without conflicts or lag | Slackbot's contextual awareness of your team's conversations and files eliminates constant app-switching — it actually knows what you've been working on |
| Biggest drawback | No free plan or tier; only 14-day free trial (shorter than some competitors offering 30 days) | Performance degrades noticeably on complex files with hundreds of artboards or heavy plugins | AI features like Slackbot and summarisation require paid plans, pricing out smaller teams who'd benefit most from automation |
