UI/UX Design: Will Lunacy Dethrone Figma in 2023?
Will the upstart UI/UX design platform, Lunacy, overthrow the reigning champion as the new de-facto design tool in 2023?
Overview
Once again a new challenger has entered the arena to compete against the heavyweight champion, Figma, for market supremacy in the UI/UX sphere.
Today, we’ll explore the question on everyone’s mind: will the upstart UI/UX design platform, Lunacy, overthrow the reigning champion as the new de-facto design tool in 2023?
Let’s find out!
Side-note
If you’re interested, I also looked at Penpot, so if you’d like to check out my findings on that too, you can do so here:
Figma vs Lunacy
To be as fair as possible, I tested Lunacy out head-to-head against Figma to see how it felt in the context of a designer looking to transition from one platform to the other.

The results were definitely interesting, and it makes me think Lunacy may be a solid contender moving forward, but there’s some ground to cover between where it’s at and where it needs to be.
Let’s take a look at what I mean.
What’s at stake and why it matters
To give some context, Adobe just bought out Figma, which means it’s only a matter of time before the platform will probably fundamentally change to align with Adobe’s plans for it.
