Pros & Cons

Figma

Pros
✓ Browser-based with no installation required — runs on any OS and enables instant sharing via URL, removing friction for cross-functional collaboration with PMs, engineers, and stakeholders
✓ Best-in-class real-time multiplayer collaboration that allows entire design teams to work simultaneously in the same file with live cursors and commenting
✓ Powerful design system support with shared component libraries, variables, and design tokens that enforce consistency across products and teams at scale
✓ Massive plugin and community ecosystem with 2,000+ plugins, templates, and UI kits that accelerate workflows and extend functionality
Cons
✗ Performance degrades significantly with very large files containing hundreds of frames or complex component hierarchies — heavy files can lag even on powerful machines
✗ Requires internet connectivity for all editing — no true offline mode exists, which is problematic for users in low-connectivity environments
✗ Prototyping capabilities, while improved, still lack the advanced micro-interaction and animation fidelity of dedicated tools like Principle or ProtoPie

FullStory

Pros
✓ Best-in-class autocapture technology — captures every click, scroll, and interaction without manual event tagging, enabling retroactive analysis on historical data
✓ Frustration signals (rage clicks, dead clicks, error clicks) surface UX problems automatically, saving PMs hours of manual session review
✓ Powerful search and segmentation — find specific user sessions by any combination of events, user properties, or frustration signals in seconds
✓ Strong privacy-by-design approach with automatic PII masking, excluded elements, and HIPAA-compliant configurations for regulated industries
Cons
✗ No transparent public pricing — Business and Enterprise plans require contacting sales, making budgeting difficult for smaller teams
✗ Session-based pricing can become very expensive at scale, especially for high-traffic consumer products with millions of monthly sessions
✗ Data retention on lower tiers is limited — teams may lose access to historical sessions unless on Enterprise plans
