The short version

  • Only ProtoPie has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: ProofHub the Ultimate Control plan advertises $89 a month for the first 3 months and then charges $135, so the headline is an introductory rate; ProtoPie the free plan allows 2 prototypes, 8 scenes per prototype and 50MB of cloud storage
  • They diverge on capability: ProofHub covers Tasks, ProtoPie covers Interactive prototyping.
