Unstable, very crash prone with just a few users designing 10 plus pages. And a huge memory hog too. I run it on Dedicated server with 64GB Ram , it starts to lag as soon as a 5-6 pages and memory 20GB, lagging out the whole team and then crashes.
Figma is a huge memory hog, too...
Lunacy is amazing for me. Very fast and intuitive. Tried Penpot, it was laggy and non usable.
Not open source however

You don't just have to self-host, they offer a hosted version that's far more reasonably priced than Figma[1]. Their free tier supports up to 8 members, limited to 10GB of storage. The next tier supports unlimited members, and is price-capped at $175 a month, but is limited to 25GB of storage. The final tier is price-capped at $950 a month, with unlimited storage.

Surely it's not actually unlimited. I wish such claims wouldn't be as common in the industry.

Does it really matter if in real-world-use 99% of the users never hit any limit? And I cannot blame anyone to use "unlimited" instead of "fair use, with reasonably large limits so that you will (probably) never see any restrictions in your use of the product"

Figma has become absolutely shocking in the past few years. The performance is so bad these days. It doesn’t help that almost every designer doesn’t care to split things into more than one document. I’ve seen Figma documents with hundreds of screens.
