Category: 2D Skeletal Animation & RiggingVerified for 2025

Top Recommended Replacements

Synfig Studio

FREE

Best Industrial-Strength Free Choice

Why we like it

100% free; powerful bone rigging system; automatic tweening (no frame-by-frame needed); supports high-res vector output.

Keep in mind

The interface is utilitarian and has a steep learning curve compared to Moho; rendering can be slow on older machines.

Blender (Grease Pencil)

FREE

Top Modern Production Alternative

Why we like it

Revolutionary 2D-in-3D workflow; massive 2026 updates to Grease Pencil 3.0; unparalleled lighting and post-processing; zero cost.

Keep in mind

Highly complex UI requires learning a 3D environment to do 2D work; overkill for simple web animations.

OpenToonz / Tahoma2D

FREE

Best for Traditional-Rig Hybrid

Why we like it

Used by Studio Ghibli; exceptional paperless cleanup tools; powerful 'Plastic Tool' for mesh deformation; Tahoma2D fork offers a friendlier UI.

Keep in mind

Rigging system is node-based and less intuitive than Moho’s 'Smart Bones' system.

Enve

FREE

Best for Motion Graphics

Why we like it

Lightweight and modern; excellent for vector-based motion design; supports MyPaint brushes; very fast performance.

Keep in mind

Slower development cycle; lacks the deep character rigging depth found in Synfig or Moho.
