Chose Proto.io
Proto.io can be more complicated than some of those tools because it gives us a lot of features in the same product. Some of those tools are better for wireframing. Still, for prototyping, my choice is Proto.io because its prototyping workflow, even if it can be a little …

Chose Proto.io
In the end, we decided not to continue using Proto.io and instead use tools we were already using.
  • For just presenting workflows to stakeholders, InVision worked almost as well (not as robust in interactions, but when you want to focus on the steps, that's better anyway).

Chose Proto.io
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, …

Chose Proto.io
Proto.io is web-based for one, which is a plus - Adobe XD is a desktop application. Adobe XD has some great features, especially for a free product, but from what I experienced Proto.io had way more tools and customization for creating interactive prototypes. Adobe XD is good …

Supernova has best-in-class customer service. Our Figma library is a huge file and was unable to automatically sync with most platforms (including Supernova) - of all three platforms we tried, Supernova was the only one that actively assigned engineers to our case and offered a …

Likelihood to Recommend
Proto.io is an excellent product for small to medium teams that wants to have a prototyping or wireframing tool that is easy to use, can be used in collaboration with others and will deliver superior results with less efforts than similar options in the market. I think it is not so suited for teams that don't have more complex prototyping needs. In this case, other tools that are even simpler could be a better fit.

Supernova is the best documentation platform on the market, having tested numerous alternatives, including the more popular zeroheight, Knapsack, etc. It's ideal for low-code solutions for brand guidelines and detailed component documentation. Their automated exporter pipelines are the icing on the cake, enabling them to pull what you see in Figma and push it directly into your codebase.

  • It has a very robust library of relevant mobile components.
  • The support and help materials for Proto.io make it easy to use this product on your own.

It is occasionally buggy, but nowhere near as buggy as zeroheight.

Proto.io is web-based for one, which is a plus - Adobe XD is a desktop application. Adobe XD has some great features, especially for a free product, but from what I experienced Proto.io had way more tools and customization for creating interactive prototypes. Adobe XD is good for building prototypes that go from screen to screen, but Proto.io allows you to get much more detailed with that (every element on the screen can have an interaction).

Supernova has best-in-class customer service. Our Figma library is a huge file and was unable to automatically sync with most platforms (including Supernova) - of all three platforms we tried, Supernova was the only one that actively assigned engineers to our case and offered a solution within a couple of days. They've been great partners.
