Adobe XD and Sketch are both popular design tools used by designers for creating interfaces, web designs, and graphics. While they share some similarities, they also have some differences that set them apart.
Here are some key differences:
- Platform: Adobe XD is available on both Mac and Windows, while Sketch is only available on Mac.
- Price: Adobe XD has a free plan with limited features, as well as a paid plan with more advanced features. Sketch has a monthly and yearly fee for the software.
- Collaboration: Adobe XD has a built-in collaboration feature that allows multiple designers to work on the same project simultaneously, while Sketch requires third-party plugins for collaboration.
- Prototyping: Adobe XD has a built-in prototyping feature that allows designers to create interactive prototypes within the same tool, while Sketch requires third-party plugins for prototyping.
- Plugins: Sketch has a larger library of plugins available, allowing for greater customization and efficiency. However, Adobe XD’s plugin library is growing rapidly.
