What it is

Penpot is an open-source design and prototyping platform that runs in the browser or on your own servers. It is built for product teams and developers who want Figma-style components, design tokens, CSS Grid and Flex layouts, and code-ready SVG, CSS and HTML handoff without vendor lock-in. The hosted Professional plan is free, and the cloud service is hosted in the EU. Reviewers say it still feels less polished and slower than Figma in places.

Standout capability

Open-source and self-hostable, with layouts built on real CSS Grid and Flexbox

Community sentiment

What people praise

Users value that it is open source and self-hostable, close to Figma in workflow, and free for most needs, with developer handoff that follows real CSS.

What people complain about

Users mention rough edges and occasional lag, especially outside Chrome, a smaller community, and help docs that could be better.

Local-currency pricing: No
Regional pricing: Persona prices are $0 because the free Professional plan is fully featured; as read from the pricing table it allows up to 8 team members, so a team of five fits. If the team needs more storage or history, Unlimited is $35/month for five editors ($7 each, capped at $175/month). The page does not say whether $7 is monthly or annual billing. Self-hosting is free and open source.
EU data hosting: Yes
DPA available: Yes
