About ProtoPie

ProtoPie is a high-fidelity prototyping tool made by Studio XID. It runs as a desktop app with cloud sharing. Designers use it to build realistic interactions with logic, variables, formulas, device sensors, voice and real data, without writing code.

It is used beyond phone apps for automotive HMI, TV, wearables and gaming prototypes. ProtoPie Connect links prototypes to other devices and hardware, and designs can be imported from Figma.

Recent additions include ProtoPie AI, which generates interactions you can then refine, and a ProtoPie MCP server (beta) on the Pro plan.

Best for: Interaction designers who need prototypes that behave like the real product, including sensors, multiple devices or hardware.

Strengths

  • Logic, variables and formulas without code.
  • Native device sensor and voice support.
  • Cross-device and hardware prototypes through ProtoPie Connect.
  • Imports designs from Figma.
  • A free plan is available for trying it out.

Limitations

  • The free plan is limited to 2 prototypes with 8 scenes each.
  • Pro has no free trial.
  • Connect hardware integrations and user testing are paid add-ons.
  • It is a prototyping tool only, so screens are usually designed in another app.

Pricing

Free is $0 (2 prototypes). Basic is listed at US$25 per month for one seat and Pro at $47 per editor per month, with yearly billing advertised as saving up to 26%. Enterprise is custom, with a minimum of 3 seats. Checked October 2026.

When to pick something else

  • Figma: pick it if standard click-through prototypes are enough
  • Origami Studio: pick it if you want a free, logic-capable prototyping tool for Mac
  • Axure RP: pick it if your prototypes are data-heavy web apps
  • Framer: pick it if the output is a live website

Checked against ProtoPie’s own website in October 2026.

ProtoPie is a prototyping tool for Mac, Windows, Web, iOS and Android. A paid plan costs about $300 a year, and there is a free plan. In our comparison it supports animations, transitions, inputs, variables, sensors and export. It does not offer design, data, code, handoff, voice, tasks, analytics and heatmap.
