Artboards let you easily work on multiple views side by side. Great for having a separate artboard on each page for the various responsive sizes.

Limited compatibility with Photoshop and Illustrator

License based payment model
Sketch has recently decided to cease development of major version (2.0, 3.0, 4.0) with free updates in between, and has switched to a license based subscription model. A yearly license costs $99 and includes the latest version of the Sketch software, plus a year of free updates. After this license expires, you can renew for another year of updates - or continue to use the current software without updates.
