Figma Slides vs ForeUI

Figma Slides is a presentation tool for making and delivering decks, included with seats on every Figma plan. Teams can collaborate through chat, audio, comments, presenter notes, and shared presenting control. Decks can include polls, voting, alignment scales, interactive prototypes, and embedded YouTube videos. AI can revise text tone or length and add presenter notes, while FigJam boards can be converted into presentation outlines. Figma Design libraries provide shared components, variables, and styles, and templates are available from Figma and its community. Slides can be imported from and exported to PowerPoint, and presenter mode is supported. Decks can be preloaded for offline presenting, although offline access is listed as unavailable. Starter is free with limited access to Figma products, unlimited drafts, and up to 500 AI credits per month. Professional Collab seats cost $3 a month; Professional Dev and Full seats cost 12.00 USD and $16 a month, respectively. It is listed for web, Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android.

ForeUI is a desktop tool for making mockups, wireframes, and interactive prototypes for applications and websites. Users can define prototype behavior with flowcharts, then run the result as an HTML5 simulation in a browser. Multiple interface themes let designers change a mockup’s style. Designs can be exported to PDF and image formats, while prototypes can be exported as browser-runnable DHTML. Reusable custom elements can include behavior and be packaged into libraries. Generated HTML5 can communicate with back-end web services through a JSONP API or YQL proxy. The ForeUI Store provides downloadable elements and libraries through the app or a browser. The maker describes the tool for sharing ideas, reviewing design concepts, gathering feedback, and usability testing. ForeUI runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Its 15-day trial includes all features, but saving and exporting are disabled after the trial. The Individual license is listed at €130 a month and includes one year of upgrades, with permanent use of versions released during that period. Sales are non-refundable, and the maker recommends evaluating the trial before purchase.
