Origami Studio vs. Proto.io

I love Origami and have always recommended the software to other designers. I use Origami on a daily basis, especially when working on new packaging designs. It's nice to see how a box/package looks live while working on moving elements around in the artwork along with making sure dielines work properly and there won't be much work needed on the vendor's end to adjust dielines.

Proto.io is the perfect solution for UX/UI designers that need to create and share interactive prototypes. Proto excels at the interactive part. There are so many different ways to make elements change or interact, whether you're viewing the prototype on a computer (mouse clicks) or on a phone (screen touches). We could build and prototype our entire mobile app on here if we wanted to because Proto.io has the customization that we need to make the app look and feel like ours. If you're looking for a software to create wireframes and static mockups, Proto.io is probably overkill for you.

• Easy to use
• Great interface
• Integrated icons and easy management of images

• It can be glitchy at times
• Challenging dielines can sometimes be difficult to render in Origami unless you trick it
• Large files with a lot of elements can slow down the software

I never had to use Proto.io support.

Origami is a faster/easier way to view and render 3D views of packaging files--especially the instant gratification when adjusting artwork and or dielines before rendering out to other softwares. Other than Blender being free, this software is much easier to use for unexperienced users. Someone can learn Origami in matter of minutes--that's how easy it is.

Proto.io is definitely the premier mockup and wireframe application. Lucidchart shares some of the capability but can be a bit clunky. Proto.io is interactive and smooth and helps you to see exactly how your UI will look and behave before the development stage. Additionally, it's library of native components is robust.

• No negative impact
• Price is great
• Saved us time and money in dieline creation
• Saved us time on rendering out DAE files from origami to other softwares for rendering

• It helped us rebrand a company to have a better strategy for the target audience
• It helped a small company new to UX and UI understand it a little more
• It was easy to teach new people minimizing on boarding time
