What to look for in a Figma alternative

Real-time collaboration with conflict resolution is the hardest feature to replicate in self-hosted tools. Evaluate vector editing quality, component and design token management, and prototype linking. Plugin ecosystem and developer handoff features (inspect, CSS export) matter for design-engineering workflows.
