The easiest & most powerful tool to build prototypes that's close to the real thing

ProtoPie enabled us to create powerful prototypes that meets our business needs for usability tests and be used as a design guidance for our developers.

PROS

Out of all other prototype tools we've tried, this one is the easiest and most powerful tool that would allow us to create a prototype that look and behave just like the real app, down to the smallest details. All without coding. If I need a more complicated behavior, there's formula function and while it took me some time to learn, it's much easier than learning Javascript that certain other prototype tool pretty much required.

CONS

Some limitations such as lack of webcam support on desktop, it can be tedious to recreate some of the basic effects such as button states, formula can be difficult to learn & master for first time users, animation tools is still limited.

Reason for choosing ProtoPie

No coding required, more prototyping features, easy to create rules and modify timings, more straightforward UI/UX.

My honest review of ProtoPie

I've been using ProtoPie for a few months, and in my experience, it stands out as the top choice for both beginner and advanced designers when it comes to prototyping tools. Not even mention the helpful community and courses ProtoPie has to offer.

PROS

ProtoPie is a remarkably user-friendly design tool that outshines other prototyping software, including Figma. Its extensive feature set makes it a versatile choice for designers. Notably, ProtoPie Connect allows seamless device-to-device connections for testing and refining interactions. Device preview ensures a consistent user experience, while features like cloud saving and design handoff simplify collaboration and sharing. ProtoPie is an all-encompassing tool suitable for both beginners and experienced designers.

CONS

While ProtoPie is an excellent tool, there is room for improvement. It would be great to see features like 4K interaction recording and the ability to use custom code in specific prototyping cases in the future. Additionally, addressing and fixing some of the existing bugs would enhance the overall user experience.

Reasons for switching to ProtoPie

Simply cause Figma can't allow me to create high-fidelity prototypes for my projects, which ProtoPie does

Protopie - Big Daddy of Prototying

PROS

Ease of Use, Multidevice prototyping, making powerful prototypes by adding logic through conditions, variables, integrating lottie animations is an additional plus.

CONS

1) There are some UI/accessibility related bugs. 2) didn’t like the current Local pie vs cloud pie flow, old one was better 3) The protopie studio is very laggy sometimes even on high end machines 4) Interaction recipes needs to worked on, as a user I wanted to record from any point , rather than recording from start

Reason for choosing ProtoPie

Beacuse Principle was no where closer to the amount of high fidelity features protopie was offering.

CONS

The wire-framing options, Pre-made symbol/component assets. Many itegrations can be done here
