MockFlow vs. Whimsical

MockFlow is a great tool for low-fidelity wireframing for quick validation & contextualization of UX & UI hypotheses. It is not a substitute for full-fledged designing tools such as Figma or Adobe XD.

This is my go-to mind mapping tool, and I use this both for business-related work and personal though organization and brainstorming. Can't think of any scenario where it is less appropriate, except for maybe, a larger enterprise where data confidentiality may be an issue.

• Ease of use. The UX is great.
• A decent number of pre-built UI elements such as browser frames, dropdowns, buttons, etc.
• Good prototyping ability. We can create decent prototypes using links.
• Collaborating capability for multiple members in a team.
• Ease of exporting the wires in different formats.

• Simple to use
• Tons of uses
• Can be customized with themeing
• Can organize all your boards pretty much however you want

• Grouping the similar elements together to further enhance the UX.
• Detailing the wires is still clumsy.
• Monochromatic UI can be improved a bit.
• Icon availability is limited.
• More collaboration features.
• Grouping of elements in the wires is cumbersome.

• It can be a little frustrating trying to line things up exactly right but that's probably more user error than anything

Easy UI & good UX makes the usability very convenient.

Whimsical is overall very easy to learn and remember. One issue with the usability occurs when you attempt to move connected boxes around the workspace. Frequently connections break or do not add easily, causing further disconnects. You can manually fix these issues, but it's a oprobem that seems would have an easy fix

I reached out to support, as I was interested in possibly investing in the organization, and they quickly and happily informed me they are a bootstrap organization and do not take on investors at this time. The swift response and information readily available for my consumption was extremely helpful and shows how solid the team behind it is.

Figma is a high-fidelity designing tool and provides too many features which would be overkill if we are looking for basic prototyping. Also, if you are not a designer and just want to create basic wires or prototypes as a Business Analyst or Product Manager, MockFlow would suffice your needs. But if you are focusing on pixel-perfect designs then I would suggest going for Figma. The ease of usability with MockFlow is very convenient as there would be a steep learning curve for Figma. Balsamiq is very similar to MockFlow but the wires created in it look a bit sketchy & clumsy.

Whimsical is so much easier and has a better interface, so I think it's more suited to our workflow if compared to other tools like Google Charts. I really love this tool and I'm looking to learn and use it even more, as it helps us optimize our time, planning, and delivering more efficiently.

• Low turnaround time for creating wireframes resulting in aligning the team on a single path.
• Validating UX & UI hypothesis quickly leading to less rework & quicker results
• Saving to & fro time with parallel collaboration feature.

• No hard numbers I can quote. Other than the free plan has been adequate for my needs.
• It's my go to mind mapping tool.
