The verdict

UXPin wins, 8.5 to 7.3

UXPin costs more, with a cheapest paid plan of $49 a month against Penpot's $7, but it turns a screenshot or sketch into a design and includes built in user testing, both of which Penpot's own site does not offer. Penpot answers back with an open API and a self-hostable, fully free option, while UXPin has no public developer API. Both offer a free plan and shared design systems.

Pick Penpot if you want lower cost and an open API to build on.

Pick UXPin if you need AI image-to-design import and built-in user testing.
