★ Framer
Ideal para: Prototype to live site
Design and publish live websites from prototypes — high-fidelity interactions plus a production site builder.
- +Publish live sites
- +Rich interactions
- +React output
- −Framer-specific hosting
ProtoPie
Ideal para: Complex mobile interactions
Advanced interaction prototyping — sensors, variables, and realistic mobile interactions without code.
- +Sensor simulation
- +Variables
- +Very realistic
- −Desktop app
- −Learning curve
Maze
Ideal para: Scaled usability research
End-to-end user research platform — prototype tests, live website testing, moderated interviews, and AI-powered reports.
- +6M+ participant panel
- +AI summaries
- +Figma integration
- −Research-focused
- −Not a design canvas
Useberry
Ideal para: Unmoderated prototype tests
All-in-one usability testing — card sorting, tree tests, Figma/ProtoPie imports, live site tests, and session recordings.
- +Figma & ProtoPie import
- +Click heatmaps
- +Participant pool
- −Testing-focused
- −Less for building prototypes
Miro
Ideal para: UX workshops & IA
Infinite collaborative whiteboard — UX workshops, journey maps, wireframes, and hundreds of Miroverse templates.
- +Miroverse templates
- +Real-time collab
- +Journey mapping
- −Not a high-fidelity prototype tool
Principle
Ideal para: Quick motion prototypes
macOS tool for animated UI prototypes — timeline-based transitions imported from Figma or Sketch.
- +Fast animations
- +Figma import
- +Simple timeline
- −macOS only
- −No live publish

Framer when prototypes should become live sites — also listed under Design Software as a full design canvas. ProtoPie for complex mobile interactions with sensors and logic. Maze and Useberry to validate designs with real users — Maze for end-to-end research at scale (panel, interviews, AI reports), Useberry for fast unmoderated tests on Figma or ProtoPie prototypes and live sites. Miro for collaborative UX workshops, journey mapping, and IA (try the Effective UX Workshop template on Miroverse). Principle for quick motion studies from Figma/Sketch.
