Moqups

DESIGN
Velocity5.0

Online wireframing, mockup, and prototyping tool for designers and product teams.

Shipping enabling primitives, then stacking native UI kits on top; Figma-alternative pitch sharpens.

Current state
Moqups is alternating real feature ships with SEO-grade content, in roughly equal measure. February 2026 brought Resize Constraints and Bulk Transform; March added native iOS 26 and Material Design 3 stencil kits that explicitly depend on the new resize behavior. July 2025's release covered prototyping ergonomics — interaction indicators and hotspot controls — and December 2024 introduced page labels and comment styling.
Where it's heading
Each release sets up the next: Resize Constraints existed in part so the UI kits would survive scaling, by the team's own admission. The product is being positioned as the lowest-friction wireframe-to-mockup tool for teams who find Figma too heavy — comparison posts (Figma alternatives, all-in-one vs specialized) reinforce that frame on the marketing side. Prototyping fidelity and collaborative editing are the two visible investment areas.
Prediction
Expect more first-party stencil kits (web/Android variants are a natural next step) and continued small prototyping improvements layered on the new transform primitives. The Figma-alternative content cadence will keep pace with the release cadence.
