Mockplus

Overview

Mockplus brings wireframing, interactive prototyping, interface design, and developer handoff into one product-design offering. It suits teams that need to move early ideas into reviewable prototypes and share design details with developers. Its breadth is useful, but the separate RP, DT, and Cloud plans make it important to check which limits apply to the work you need to do.

Mockplus RP supports early exploration by designers, product managers, and non-designers; Mockplus DT is aimed at designers refining interface details. Cloud handles collaboration and handoff. Mockplus is also relevant to Wireframing Software, UI design tools, Prototyping Software, Developer Handoff Software, and Design Collaboration Software.

Key features

Prototyping from rough ideas to interactions

RP combines wireframing with interactive prototypes, using drag-and-drop interactions, gestures, and animations. That range makes it suitable for communicating a flow rather than only showing static screens. The free RP plan is capped at three prototypes and ten pages per prototype, so it is better for trying the workflow than for a growing prototype library.

Handoff and collaboration

Cloud brings design specifications, downloadable assets, CSS snippets, comments, and review workflows together for developer handoff. Plugins or import options cover Sketch, Photoshop, Adobe XD, Figma, and Axure, which can help teams bring work from those tools into the collaboration process. Cloud's free tier allows unlimited guests but caps a workspace at ten users and ten active projects; paid Cloud Pro removes the active-project cap and supports unlimited guests, designs, folders, and admins.

Offline preview and enterprise controls

Mockplus Classic can export interactive prototypes as HTML for online or offline use, with preview on iPhone, iPad, or Android devices. That is a practical option when a prototype needs to be reviewed without a live connection. Enterprise Cloud offers internal-server deployment, SSO, and priority support, making it the clearest fit for organizations that require those controls.

Mockplus says it uses encryption in transit, encryption at rest for private-cloud customers, pseudonymization, and least-privilege controls. The service is hosted and operated in China, and personal data may be transferred to and processed in China and possibly other countries. Mockplus advises against putting live end-customer personal data or sensitive personal data into designs, prototypes, or uploaded documents. Its About page says technical support is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Pricing

Mockplus is freemium, with free plans and several paid products billed on different terms. Compare the plan for the specific product you intend to use: the entry price of $5.95/user/mo (annual) does not describe every paid tier.

• Basic: free, Free Forever. It supports 10 users, 10 active projects, unlimited designs, 3 project folders, and 1 Admin. This is a useful starting point for a small team, but the project and folder caps may constrain sustained work.
• Pro: $5.95 a month, billed annually, with a minimum of 3 users. It removes the active-project, design, and folder limits and allows unlimited Admins. The minimum seat count makes it a team purchase rather than a low-cost single-user upgrade.
• Enterprise: custom pricing, with custom features, internal-server deployment, SSO, and priority support. It fits teams that need those enterprise provisions rather than simply more project capacity.
• Mockplus Cloud Basic: free, Free Forever. It includes up to 10 users, unlimited guests, 10 active projects, 3 folders, and 1 Admin.
• Mockplus Cloud Pro: $2.48 a month per user, billed annually; the page also shows $4.95. It starts with 3 users and includes unlimited guests, active projects, designs, folders, and Admins. The three-user starting point and annual billing matter for small teams comparing it with the free tier.
• Mockplus RP Free: free, with no time limit. It allows 3 prototypes, 10 pages per prototype, 10M Axure file import, and 7-day revision history.
• Mockplus RP Annual: $49.50 a year, billed annually; the page also shows $99. It adds unlimited prototypes, pages, revision history, and Axure file import.
• Mockplus RP Perpetual: $249.50, paid once, a one-off payment with no extra fees; the page also shows $499. It provides unlimited prototypes, pages, and revision history, plus lifetime free updates. It avoids recurring subscription billing, but requires a larger upfront payment.
• Mockplus DT Free: free, with no time limit. It supports up to 10 users, unlimited personal projects, 3 collaborative projects, 3 pages per project, and Sketch/Figma import.
• Mockplus DT Premier: $3.29 a month per user, billed annually; the page also shows $6.58. It provides unlimited collaborative projects, pages, version histories, and free guests, removing the free tier's collaboration and page caps.
• Mockplus Cloud Enterprise: custom pricing, with custom features, internal-server deployment, SSO, and priority support. Mockplus DT Enterprise: custom pricing, with custom features, own-server deployment, SSO, and priority support.

The free RP and DT plans have no time limit, but their prototype, page, and collaboration caps make them most suitable for evaluation or modest use. Paid prices vary by product, and annual billing applies to the per-user Cloud and DT Premier prices.

Platforms

Mockplus lists Android, iOS, macOS, web, and Windows platforms, and offers a desktop app. Classic's HTML export can also be previewed on iPhone, iPad, or Android devices.

Who it's for

Mockplus is a strong fit for product teams that want wireframes and interactive prototypes, then need a shared path for comments, design specifications, assets, and developer handoff. RP's positioning also makes it relevant to product managers and non-designers exploring ideas, while DT targets designers working through interface details. Small teams can begin on free tiers; teams with more sustained collaboration may need paid plans, and organizations requiring internal hosting or SSO should consider Enterprise.

It is a weaker fit for teams unwilling to have service data hosted in China or potentially processed in other countries, or for projects that require live customer or sensitive personal data in design files. The maker's own guidance is not to put that data into designs, prototypes, or uploaded documents.

Pros and cons

• Pro: RP covers wireframing and interactive prototypes, including gestures and animations, so early ideas can be expressed as flows.
• Pro: Cloud combines specs, assets, CSS snippets, comments, and review workflows, giving developers and designers a shared handoff surface.
• Pro: Free plans have no time limit, and Classic supports interactive HTML export for offline preview.
• Con: Free plans impose meaningful caps, including three RP prototypes, three DT collaborative projects, and ten Cloud active projects.
• Con: Cloud Pro starts at three users and is billed annually, which may be more commitment than a solo user needs.
• Con: China hosting and possible cross-border processing may not suit teams with strict data-location requirements; Mockplus also cautions against sensitive data in project material.

Alternatives

Fluid UI is another freemium option if its listed platform coverage, including Linux, is relevant to your team.

Justinmind is worth considering if you want a free option with one project, unlimited screens and viewers, and interactive input forms.

Draftium may suit web-focused users who value a free allowance of three prototypes and 50 generic templates.

Frame0 is an option for teams seeking a desktop wireframing tool across Windows, macOS, and Linux, with a no-time-limit free plan.

Mokkup.ai may be relevant to users who want a free, editable project with templates and a defined screen allowance.

Moqups offers a web and extension-based alternative with a free plan limited to one seat, two projects, and 400 objects per project.

Visily may suit users looking for a web-based option with a free tier measured in monthly AI credits.

Uizard is another freemium web and extension option, with a free plan capped at two projects and five screens per project.

Verdict

Choose Mockplus if your team wants prototyping and developer handoff within a connected set of tools, and its free caps or paid seat minimums fit your workflow. Its strongest case is the path from interactive concepts to specs, assets, comments, and review. Look elsewhere if the China hosting and potential international processing are incompatible with your data requirements, or if you need more free capacity than the product-specific limits allow.
