Interactive prototyping for web and mobile apps is very important and has grown significantly over the past decade. There are many prototyping tools to choose from and this provides design agencies, designers, entrepreneurs and businesses with more options. To make life easier we would recommend the following evaluation criteria to select which prototyping tool works best for you as there is no one right tool that works for everyone.

web and mobil project

2. 1-HOW EASY IS THE
TOOL TO LEARN?
www.savahapp.com
No design agency or an UI, UX designer wants to spend
hours learning how to use a complicated platform.
The good news is that there are tools in the market and
they are pretty easy to get to grips with.
The shorter learning cycle the better. In reality most
designers don’t have the spare time to learn long-winded
tools.
In our opinion, a good start is ‘how easy and intuitive is
the tool/platform to learn’.

3. 2-DOES IT COME WITH
SUPPORT?
www.savahapp.com
Support is good and if it’s quick, that’s a plus point.
Problems and difficulties happen and having someone to
contact to get support from is always a bonus.
The quality and variety of support is also important. Are
there help documents, guides, tutorials and videos on
offer and available?

4. 3-HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO
CREATE A PROTOTYPE?

The actual time it takes to create your real-life prototype
from uploading your image screens to prototype.
There is no reason why creating a prototype should not
be quick and simple with all the choices that are
available in the market.

5. 4-CAN YOU TEST ON
MULTIPLE DEVICES?
www.savahapp.com
Does the tool allow users to create a prototype for one
device and test it out on all devices (ranging from
smartphone to tablet and desktop)?
This is a key requirement to determine the user
experience across all devices. This allows users to
quickly capture how their app looks and feels like across
multiple devices before any coding has begun.
In this way, it is quick and easy to change and improve
designs before the app is built.

6. 5-HOW INTUITIVE THE
TOOL IS?
www.savahapp.com
How easy and well does the tool/platform allow users to
simulate end-users intended interaction?
This includes transitions, scrolling, gestures, custom
transitions, navigation between screens and overall
display and appearance.

7. 6-HOW EASY IS IT TO SHARE YOUR
PROTOTYPES WITH YOUR CLIENTS?
www.savahapp.com
The degree of features that is available on the
tool/platform for sharing your prototypes to your team
and clients.
Are you limited to the number of people you can share
your prototypes with?
The rule of thumb in our opinion is to receive and take on
board as much feedback as possible to each of your
prototypes to refine and improve.

8. 7-HOW EASY IS IT TO COLLABORATE
ON THE PROTOTYPE?
www.savahapp.com
Does the platform allow teams & collaborators to easily
communicate on the design screens?
Having the freedom to invite, as many collaborators to
each of your prototypes is a plus point. Does it support
real-time design collaboration?
The ability to have your team and clients discuss, iterate
and collaborate in real-time on a prototype upon the
design screen is definitely a key feature to look out for.

9. 8-INTEGRATION WITH OTHER KEY
TOOLS?
www.savahapp.com
Teams and businesses nowadays use so many other
tools (e.g. Dropbox, Jira, Slack, Trello) in their everyday
activity.
Having a built-in integration with these third parties will
help teams and businesses to automate a great deal of
their work flow processes.
This will help in saving time and ensuring that everyone
is looking at the final versions.

10. 9-INTEGRATION WITH OTHER KEY
TOOLS?

their work flow processes.
This will help in saving time and ensuring that everyone
is looking at the final versions.

11. 9-CAN YOU KEEP TRACK OF ALL
YOUR DESIGN VERSIONS?
www.savahapp.com
Each feedback will provide a new design version and
maintaining these versions can be very difficult to
manage especially when you are working with large
projects.
Does the tool provide a design repository to maintain all
versions?
A key question whether it has a built in version history
panel that is quick and easy to view your evolving design
files?

12. 10-PRICING
www.savahapp.com
This is last but by no means least, how much does the
tool cost to use?
Some providers charge licence fees, yearly subscriptions,
rolling month contracts and many more. All pricing plans
are different and are all based on the number of users as
well as the number of add-on features that they are
offering.
In our opinion, we feel the best pricing plans are your
rolling month contract. So, you can cancel at any time
and you are not signed up for a long contract.
