About Supernova
Supernova Pricing
Our personal plan is free forever and offers a wide range of features, giving individuals and small teams the opportunity to use Supernova to enhance their design system workflow. It is only limited in terms of how many people can use it and misses some specific use-cases like automation. The team plan gives users an unlimited way of fully and automatically handling one design system, or more specifically, for one product team. The team plan is $25 per editor per month, and companies that buy more licenses on this plan can have access to more direct support. The Company plan allows for great governance of an unlimited number of design systems, with some additional bells and whistles specific for maintenance of multi-branded, cross-design-tool design systems. Also as an enterprise offering, customers get all the expected features such as additional security options. The Company Plan is $100 per editor seat and discounts are available for yearly plans.

Fast moving product with a forward thinking team
The great sales staff that answered our questions pre-sales and dealt with our very tedious procurement process. Our onboarding was easy as we were able to tailor the sessions to meet our needs too. The team are always quick to offer support on Discord too.
PROSIf you love Figma's approach to fast, iterative development you will love Supernova. Their team is engaging in feedback, their discord channel, and even asking to rate future features. Aside from that, the product is easy to set up and use. If you can use Notion then all the other extras have about a day of learning.
CONSIt would be good to have storage space in your account to share digital assets and documentation, e.g. media packs or logo files.
Reason for choosing Supernova
I evaluated a number of similar tools and we opted for Supernova because their team was experienced and engaged in helping build design systems. They know their clients are designers/developers and really get involved in gaining feedback. Finally, they are continually iterating the product to make it better for their users.

Not just a documentation tool but a Design System Management tool !
I really liked the Design system management tools, like Components, Tokens and Assets. The other thing that is really powerfull is that it's a dev centric tool, it's not just only about the graphic elements, but about object that could be set by design and used by devs on the final product with automations.
CONSEarly stage product, so a lot of features are missing or are not delightfull yet. But I feel that it is going to come soon !
Reason for choosing Supernova
Design system mangement tool as object and the fact to really take development into account with more than just embeding storybook
Reasons for switching to Supernova
The lack of feature evolution from Zeroheight (especially on the token side) and the evolution of pricing which is not fair
Vendor Response
Thanks for choosing Supernova as your design system management tool! Design systems are so much more than just documentation and we aim to provide an end-to-end solution, so we're happy to hear that you're finding value in our data management tools and code automation.

6+ months on Supernova
Adoption to our DS is already there but further knowledge of how to use it was lacking. Supernova has massively helped here to allow the wider org to understand the value of our design system and its importance to the org.
PROSI've had experience using other similar products in the past but was introduced to Supernova as it had already been semi-adopted by our team. Its ease of use and integration with supporting design/eng applications is great. The product is generally well stocked with good features which are being improved regularly and updates to the broader management side super useful.
CONSI find it limiting in customisation with regards to making it more bespoke to our brand. The custom CSS implementing could be more user-friendly for people with less understanding of it usage.Although the preview feature is great, I would ideally like to hide WIP pages which you currently can not do, or at least apply a badge to pages to indicate their in progress stage. Customising header tabs as homepages without having to create an additional 'home" page would be ideal too.
Vendor Response
Thank you for sharing your feedback! It's great to hear that Supernova has helped your organization understand the value & importance of your design system and that our platform has been easy for your team to use. We've shared your feedback for more CSS customization with our team. For WIP pages, you can hide a page from your published site by adding n underscore "_" in the title. Hope that helps! Thanks again for using Supernova!

Design pipeline automation
This is the tool to use to help push your engineering and design teams togethers. As far as I'm aware, fully automating design changes in figma all the way to deployment is cutting edge and either done through a fully custom build pipeline or via Supernova.
CONSIntegration could be dicey due to how young the product is, the upside is that most things are open-source so changes are welcome.
Reason for choosing Supernova
Mainly for the mobile support.

Thanks for choosing Supernova as your design system management platform! We're so glad we can help bridge the gap between your engineering & design teams.
