Best Wacom alternatives: From Huion to XP-Pen

Wacom drawing tablets are hugely popular, but they're not for everyone. The good news is that there are plenty of Wacom alternatives out there when choosing a new drawing tablet if you're an artist on a budget or simply prefer a different brand. We've featured a wide range of models that cover varying budgets, screen types and connections to offer you a great drawing tablet experience.

Wacom is hailed as one of the top digital-art brands when it comes to developing drawing tablets, with products like the Cintiq range being an industry staple. But with high quality comes a high price tag - and not everyone needs as beefy a product as one of the best Wacom tablets. So knowing what alternatives are out there is a great way to start or expand your digital art journey, whether it's a traditional style drawing tablet, or alternatives from household names like Apple and Microsoft to double up your art device as a computer tablet as well.
