Our verdict on ProtoPie
ProtoPie is an interaction design and prototyping platform for UX/UI designers, product teams, engineers, and researchers. ProtoPie Studio provides a desktop environment for creating interactive prototypes, while ProtoPie Cloud supports storage, sharing, collaboration, testing, and developer handoff. ProtoPie Player runs prototypes on mobile devices, and ProtoPie Connect extends prototypes across devices, hardware, and APIs. It is aimed at teams that need more than static screen transitions and want to document interaction behavior for implementation.
The standout capability is the depth of its interaction model. Designers can combine interaction logic, animations, variables, formulas, reusable components, and interaction recordings with timing, delay, easing, and layer specifications. Multi-device prototyping and hardware or API connectivity add scope for connected product concepts and device-based experiences. Personal, team, and public interaction libraries support reuse, while viewable links and access controls support sharing. This makes ProtoPie a strong fit for high-fidelity interaction specialists, but a narrower choice for teams seeking a primarily collaborative interface design workspace.
Pricing starts with a Free plan that includes 2 prototypes saved in Cloud, 8 scenes per prototype, 50MB of Cloud storage, and personal libraries. Basic costs $25 per seat per month and adds shareable links, no watermark, 20 Cloud prototypes, 500MB of Cloud storage, and 1 handoff recording. Pro costs $47 per editor per month and adds unlimited prototypes, unlimited handoff recordings, 5GB of cloud storage per team, local prototype saving, team libraries, and ProtoPie MCP beta. Enterprise adds custom hardware integrations, private server and admin rights, custom fonts, ISO-compliant security and SSO, and dedicated training and support. Choose ProtoPie for interaction depth and device prototyping; choose an alternative if broad real-time collaborative editing is the priority.
