About UXPin
UXPin builds prototypes from components that behave like the code they represent, so designers can use the same components as developers. The site describes logic, states and design systems in the editor. Alongside the browser editor, UXPin offers Mac and Windows apps and mobile preview apps.
The free sign-up is a starting point, and the full plan limits are on the pricing page. UXPin is a better fit for teams that want components tied to code than for quick sketch-style wireframes. Designers who only need visual mockups may find Figma or Penpot simpler.
