Proto.io plans, side by side
Every published tier in ascending order of price, with the number of features each one lists. An absence here means the record does not itemise it, not that the tier lacks it.
| Plan | Price | Features listed | Step up from the tier below |
|---|---|---|---|
| Freelancer | On request | 3 | Entry tier |
| Startup | On request | 3 | Priced on request |
| Agency | On request | 2 | Priced on request |
| Corporate | On request | 3 | Priced on request |
What each tier adds
The set difference between each tier's feature list and the one beneath it. Where a tier lists nothing new, the vendor has either stopped repeating the inherited list or the tier raises limits rather than adding capability, the record does not distinguish the two, so this page does not either.

What the product covers
The full Proto.io feature record, grouped as the catalogue groups it. This is the product as a whole; the record does not map every feature onto a specific tier.
Other
- Event and condition system
- Timeline animation
- Device preview
- Component library
- User testing integration
- Design import
People bring Proto.io in for running usability tests where the prototype must respond to real input rather than replay a fixed click path, demonstrating a form-heavy or data-driven flow to stakeholders before any code exists, testing a mobile interaction on the physical device it is designed for, with correct gesture behaviour, validating a concept for a client who needs to feel the product, not watch a video of it. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to Proto.io are worth a look before you commit to a tier.
How that compares in Design
Too few design tools in this directory publish a starting price to quote a meaningful median, so the table below is a like-for-like list rather than a ranking.
| Tool | Entry price | Model | Rated | Head to head |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Proto.io (this page) | On request | Per user per month | - | |
| Origami Studio | Free | No licence fee | - | vs Proto.io |
| Axure RP | On request | Per user per month | - | vs Proto.io |
| LottieFiles | Free | Per user per month | - | vs Proto.io |
| Cadence Allegro | On request | quote | - | vs Proto.io |
| Womp | Free | Per user per month | - | vs Proto.io |
| PaintTool SAI | 5500/month | one-time | - | vs Proto.io |
Ratings are aggregated from third-party sources and imported with each catalogue entry, they are not reviews hosted on Softwr. How each figure is used is set out on the Proto.io badges page.
Before you pay for Proto.io
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: 4 tiers between On request and On request, with the jump itemised above. With no free tier on record, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to compare Proto.io against the tools that do have one before committing.
Proto.io runs on web, ios, android, and is published by Proto.io. The full record is on the Proto.io review, and the rest of the category is under best design tools.
