Deal Highlights
Rive — Interactive Animations for Apps and Games
Rive is a design tool for creating interactive animations that run natively on iOS, Android, web, Flutter, and game engines. Unlike Lottie which exports from After Effects, Rive has its own editor with state machines for interactive animations that respond to user input.
Beyond Static Animations
Lottie animations play from start to finish. Rive animations react — a character follows your cursor, a button morphs on hover, a loading indicator changes based on progress. State machines make animations interactive without code.
Runtime Performance
Rive animations render with a custom runtime — not a web view. On mobile, they use less memory and CPU than Lottie. On web, the runtime is under 100KB.
Rive vs Lottie
Lottie exports from After Effects with wider adoption. Rive has its own editor with state machines for interactive animations. Lottie for simple animations. Rive for interactive, state-driven animations.
Pricing
Free with community features. Team at $14/editor/month adds collaboration.
