Sketch is a Mac design app with per-editor workspace plans and a Private Cloud tier. Pages here cover replacing it with self-hosted Penpot.
Comparing Sketch with Penpot for interface design: a Mac app plus web workspace against a browser-based tool on any operating system, open SVG and CSS standards, self-hosting, SSO, and the rebuild work since no Sketch importer is documented.
Cost of ownership by component: Sketch per-editor plans or Mac-only licenses without collaboration, against self-hosted Penpot with no license fee, its server, PostgreSQL and storage, file rebuilds and support.
For security-conscious design teams choosing between Sketch's Private Cloud tier and running Penpot on their own infrastructure: who controls the servers and updates, login options, and what each means for data location.
