Overall Satisfaction with UXPin

We use it to build mockups for mobile experiences to present to our clients. The mockups are interactive and can be shared to our clients including a phone frame. That is pretty neat. The tool itself is very slow and hard to work with. It is not intuitive and at first it seems like a good tool, but after you find the many limitations, it just doesn't work.
  • Getting a subscription
  • Sharing projects and mockups
  • Implementing a simple mockup
  • You have to call to cancel your subscription
  • Platform is very slow, mockups are slow, editor is slow.
  • Customer service is a joke
  • Lots of e-mail spam
  • Sharing mockups
  • Building mockups
  • Exporting png's for presentations
  • Too expensive; every contributor is a full account, viewer or editor
  • Making designs is very slow and expensive because lack of components
  • ROI is bad overall
Adobe XD is so much more than UXPin, with Adobe Cloud you can easily share designs as well. We used Adobe XD before changing to UXPin. At first UXPin seems so advanced and helpful, but don't get fooled. You're heavily limited in the long run, and after all the training and implementation of UXPin (both app-wise for IT but also training designers etc) it is not worth your time.

Yes

Would you buy UXPin again?

No

If you're a very simple designer, with very simple requirements UXPin is very good, especially because you can share the designs very easily.

If you are an advanced designer with specific client requirements never use UXPin. Don't even get started because you will waste your time. Example is their component feature, it has a lot, but misses very crucial aspects to be functional on a broader scale.
