 We think that in most cases, wireframes + running code is much better than prototyping.

1. we're not huge fans of building large prototypes. Too many times we've seen people spend a lot of time putting a fully interactive prototype together, then realizing that some features couldn't actually be built or noticing that the user experience wasn't so great once they implemented the prototype. The problem with prototypes is that they take time to build. When you spend time building something, you start getting attached to it, and changing it becomes painful.
   We believe it's much better to wireframe the key screens, implement them, see how they feel and go back to the wireframes to tweak them if needed. You won't be attached to the wireframes, and you'll have spent time learning about what works and what doesn't using the real codebase, and real users!
2. Letting you specify behaviours and click-actions would inevitably turn Mockups into a much more complex tool, which is a terrible thing for us: if we want to continue to be the in-between tool, Mockups needs to be extremely quick to learn so that every stakeholder can have their say with an equal playing field.

There are lots of quick and easy ways to specify interaction in Mockups already. If you're curious to know more about where Mockups fits into the UX Design process, check out UX Apprentice.

We know that there are some scenarios where you may prefer to build complex, highly interactive prototypes. For those, try out Axure RP or Omnigraffle Pro . You may notice that they have a steeper learning curve, are slower to use, cost a lot more than Mockups, and are backed by large companies. They have to be: the problem they're trying to solve is much much larger than ours.

Not sure if Balsamiq Mockups is the right tool for you? Here's a handy guide to help you choose.

 

Low in cost, high in quality, built with love

Because the problem we're trying to solve is so focused, our feature-set is naturally limited. Fewer features means fewer bugs, means less support burden, means less staff for us to support, means less cost for you.

Cost of features

We know that Mockups works best when everyone on your product team has a copy, so we want to keep it affordable even at volume prices.

Being low-cost doesn't mean we're cheap. We put our heart and soul into making Mockups the best quality software we possibly can. We embrace rigorous software quality assurance practices; we test early and often, both manually and with code. We spend days on performance improvements, platform-specific bugs and tiny little things you'd only notice if they were broken. We release often — about once a month — to get those bug fixes in your hands as fast as possible. Then we follow up each release with fanatical customer support.

We take pride in our software's quality and customer support. It's something we like to compete on. Obviously no software is without bugs, and we have our share. Our difference is that we make it really easy for you to submit your feedback, we treat your bug reports seriously, consider your feature requests with an open mind, and do our best to work with you to solve your problems in a timely manner.
 

We've learned that building a product is a lot like cooking a stir-fry: you have to add the different ingredients in the right order and at the right time, or the dish won't come out right.

So if we don't add your favorite feature right away, don't be discouraged, it simply means that it's not the right time for the product or that we're not ready as a company for it. But do not fear, if we tell you that we've added something to our TODO list, it means we're serious about building it.

Balsamiq Mockups 哪一種版本適合我?

Balsamiq for Desktop (單一USER版，限人數)

我們最暢銷的是 Balsamiq for Desktop。這是安裝在桌機上並運行在Windows、Mac和Linux的應用程式。許可證密鑰綁定到使用者，而不是特定的機器。Balsamiq for Desktop 的桌面從您的電腦保存和載文件，就像Microsoft Word或您過去習慣使用的其他桌面應用程式。有很多方法可以與您的團隊和外部客戶分享分享您的工作當在使用Balsamiq for Desktop時，：您可以圍繞發送bmml文件，您可以承載他們一個共享磁碟驅動器或Dropbox，您可以透過電子郵件與人們互動，您的工作PDF文件可相互聯繫。
Balsamiq for Desktop是我們成長最快，功能最強大的線框編輯器，因此我們建議大家購買正版，甚至採購以下任何我們的其他版本也是如此。

Balsamiq Cloud (web版，不限人數)

myBalsamiq是運行在瀏覽器中一個基於訂閱的Web應用程式。沒有什麼需要安裝，並且允許無限數量的用戶可用在您的專案。

myBalsamiq是專為合作而設計，並與遠程團隊和/或外部客戶工作時，真正的亮點。可建立專案，邀請你的團隊和外部合作者的加入，甚至可以設置不同的訪問級別（私人、網站、部落格、維基）。你可以很容易地看到mockup的歷史，回滾，或提出一個替代版本，而不會覆蓋或丟失版本。可以創建互動式原型，將這些發送一個連結，發送給你的客戶簡單地審查。也有Skype的整合，RSS訂閱，以及作品。

myBalsamiq內建瀏覽器中編輯線框器，這是極其相似的桌面之一，並且為您和您的團隊提供了一個報價，為Mockups for Desktop一半的定價。

Balsamiq for Google Drive (外掛程式版本)

如果使用谷歌驅動器，Atlassian的Confluence或Atlassian的JIRA，你應該嘗試Mockup的外掛程式版本。我們的外掛程式很巧妙的整合這些平台，無論你用在主機或用在雲端。
 

各版本差別在於使用平台與是否有Symbol功能

*Symbols

Balsamiq Mockups for Desktop, myBalsamiq, and Mockups for Google Drive support the concept of Symbols. Other software often refers to this same feature as templates, master pages, custom components, or widgets.
In essence, Symbols let you create reusable common elements across different mockups.
Here's a quick video introduction that shows the benefits of this feature.
