Moqups, from Evercoder Software in Romania, is an online tool which the vendor states allows users to go from diagrams, wireframes and prototypes without switching apps or updating across platforms.
Balsamiq is a great tool for quickly getting ideas into visual form. At first it seems like there are not that many UI assets, but this constraint actually adds to the speed. There are less things for you to fuss over, you can focus on getting your ideas down. This is a tool for lofi rough drawings not a tool for building beautiful prototypes for developers to code to. It is fantastic for ideation because you mostly just drag and drop components onto the canvas and move things around. It's great in a live workshop setting for that reason.

The platform allows for easily documenting all sorts of processes and ideas in pretty much all departments you can think of. Whether it is a regular diagram, a UML prototype, a network architecture plan, or a BPMN process description, Moqups has you covered. We have not observed any situation where the platform has come short of expectations.
I'm not sure how else we would be able to complete our work without Balsamiq or another similar tool. All of my experience with Balsamiq has been positive and they continue to develop new features so that my job gets easier. I would be very surprised if we didn't renew Balsamiq

Creating digital wireframes in Photoshop is a nightmare. Photoshop was not really designed for this purpose. It doesn't have good collaboration options and it doesn't allow pattern libraries, which are essential for consistency and efficiency. We use UXPin and Axure for some time, but found that these platforms were a bit bloated. Balsamiq is much simpler than any of these options. It's a perfect wireframing platform for non-designers or for designers that want to focus on content and element-placement prior to design

Moqups has so far been a remarkable competitor to the two well established draw.io and Lucidchart. We do not miss any features, in comparison, and transitioning from other previous platforms (draw.io, Lucidchat) did not translate into big friction. Cost was also a factor where Moqups was largely superior by far.
