Zeplin, from the company of the same name, is a platform supporting collaboration in application development by engineers and designers by providing an API with popular collaboration, development and prototyping tools and creating a space where productions can be shared and reviewed.
Zeplin also allows to share design spec and collect feedback, but the ability to have prototype changes the game.
Also, other products like Craft plugin is cherry on the cake.
We went with InVision because we were already bought into that ecosystem. We have since decided to move to Figma, as we were not receiving the features we needed from InVision and the associated tools (Whimsical, Sketch, Abstract, and Zeplin). The ROI of Figma allows us to free …
Compared to other tools, InVision is a very solid tool with a great reputation and prototyping functionalities to back it up. InVision was the first prototyping tool we purchased, and it’s served us really well. However, more and more design tools are now also providing …
Zeplin is great to inspect and share user interfaces, specifications and assets, perfect for developers. Tools like InVision and Marvel are much better to create prototypes for both developers, coworkers and even stakeholders, but they don't have this kind of feature …
We chose Zeplin because it allowed our product and design teams to collaborate more effectively, while providing the rest of the organization an easily accessible location to access up-to-date assets. While InVision's interface can be more intuitive, we prefer Zeplin because it …
Zeplin is a really nice lightweight app, that is easier to use than InVision for sharing purposes. InVision does primarily handle prototyping, which Zeplin does not do. Abstract is my product of choice but is also a slightly different tool — almost a GitHub for design. It …
Zeplin is simpler. Zeplin lacks prototyping on par with InVision. Zeplin doesn't give a direct code for Android and iOS like Figma does. Zeplin doesn't have a lot of advanced features like InVision, for example, whiteboard. But Zeplin is good for at its job which is to share …
Zeplin is more focused on the handoff than in the creation itself. The other alternatives can do both, but Zeplin is an awesome tool for the handoff part. It depends in how big is your team and how the workflow is organized to understand whats the best tool for your team.
Out of all of the products that I have used to support design-to-development handoffs, Zeplin is my favorite. It’s pretty lightweight and easy to use (once you get the hang of it). Zeplin also has a smooth interface and is, generally, clearer to use than other tools, such as …
These other tools are really helpful products for creating and sharing wireframes / prototypes. However, Zeplin is the best tool for the actual hand off between the design and development teams once the design is actually ready to share. Zeplin fills this gap and improves the …
Marvel is a pretty expensive application for what it gives you, it is a pretty good tool but I think the handoff is not as good as Zeplin's. I think the style of Zeplin is more oriented to developers and Marvel is more oriented to the designers. I like the way Zeplin is …
For my company needs, Zeplin comes as the best tool in its category. Zeplin's competitors are great tools but they either offer way too many features or are priced above Zeplin with the same features.
Zeplin is in the right spot for both pricing and features.
Zeplin is much better when it comes to seeing the properties and CSS code of the design elements. Our developers love it when they get all that info from the Zeplin file.
