Vecti
A web-based design tool where several people can sketch and refine app or website screens together in real time, built as a lighter, faster alternative to Figma.

Description
Designing a website or app usually means several people — a designer, a product manager, maybe a developer — need to look at the same screen mockups and leave comments or make tweaks without stepping on each other's work. Vecti is a tool that runs entirely in your browser and lets a small team do exactly that: draw interface screens, snap elements to a precise grid, and see each other's cursors move live, the same way Google Docs lets people co-write a document.
Vecti is built by a solo developer with close to two decades of UI/design experience, and it positions itself as a performance-focused alternative to Figma and Sketch. Under the hood it emphasizes a high-performance rendering engine so large files stay responsive, pixel-perfect grid snapping for precision layout work, a shared asset library, and permission-based sharing that separates editors (who pay) from viewers (who are unlimited and free). It also includes a presentation mode for full-screen client reviews. Reusable components — the building block most design systems rely on — are listed as "coming soon" rather than shipped, which is a meaningful gap versus Figma today.
💬 Our review
The short version: Vecti is a lean, fast, single-developer alternative to Figma that's worth trying if your team is small and price-sensitive, but the missing component system means most professional design teams should stay put for now.
Against Figma, the category leader, Vecti's case is price and simplicity — $9-12/month per editor with unlimited free viewers, versus Figma's more elaborate (and pricier) team plans, plus a rendering engine the maker built specifically for performance. Against Sketch and Adobe XD, being fully browser-based (no install, real-time multiplayer by default) is the bigger differentiator. What holds it back is that reusable components, the core primitive most design systems and larger teams build around, are explicitly not shipped yet ("coming soon"), and it's maintained by one developer rather than a funded team, so roadmap speed and long-term support are real open questions. For a freelancer, a two-person team, or anyone doing quick collaborative wireframing without deep component-library needs, it's a genuinely cheap and pleasant tool. For a design team already invested in Figma's plugin ecosystem and component libraries, switching isn't worth the disruption yet.
