Marvel vs Wireflow

Marvel is a design platform for creating wireframes, mockups, prototypes, and design specifications. From a browser, users can make website and app designs for different devices, then share interactive prototypes that demonstrate intended interactions without coding. Its Handoff tool generates downloadable assets and CSS, Swift, and Android XML code that stays synchronized with design changes.

Teams can organize projects in folders, create teams, and leave feedback through comments and annotations. Marvel lists integrations such as Sketch, Jira, Confluence, Dropbox Paper, and Microsoft Teams, as well as a GraphQL API for project data and design activity. Its mobile apps let users create, play, and share prototypes, with offline viewing and Sketch syncing. The free plan allows one user and one project; moving down to the free plan makes other projects inactive. Pro costs $12 a month, billed yearly, and a seven-day trial is listed. Marvel was founded in 2013 and is headquartered in London.

Wireflow is an online tool for creating user flow prototypes in a browser. It requires no installation and provides more than 100 custom-built graphics and cards for web elements, interactions, and use cases. Coworkers can be invited to design flows together in real time, with built-in live chat. Project permissions control access and let a flow be public or private. The editor autosaves flows in the browser and includes an Export JSON action. The site lists 102 flow templates across 10 categories. Wireflow is MIT licensed, developed in the open, and can be forked or self-hosted. Its README documents local development with yarn and Docker Compose. The Free plan is free, available forever without sign-up, and includes the graphics and cards, real-time collaboration, project permissions, live chat, and browser access. Listed platforms are web and self-hosted.
