ProtoPie Pricing Plans & Tiers

ProtoPie's freemium model ($0 free tier, $25/mo Basic, $47/mo Pro) creates a low-activation-energy adoption curve for interaction designers exploring advanced sensor-based prototyping. The free tier caps users at 2 prototypes and 50MB storage—deliberately limiting but useful for individual designers validating ProtoPie's sensor interaction paradigm (gesture detection, device orientation, physics simulations) against competitors like Framer or Adobe XD. The $1/mo gap between free and Basic ($25) is psychologically steep, but Basic's removal of the watermark from prototype exports positions it as the 'professional' tier where designers can share work without embarrassment.

ProtoPie's per-seat pricing on Basic ($25) and Pro ($47) tiers creates a cost ceiling for small teams but encourages seat growth as collaboration value becomes evident. A 5-person design team paying $25 × 5 = $125/mo discovers that sensor interactions and physics simulations require synchronized prototyping across team members—making the per-seat model a natural expansion mechanism. Unlike Figma's per-seat model which penalizes large teams, ProtoPie's 40% price gap ($47 Pro vs. $25 Basic) incentivizes seat clustering on Basic tier for budget-constrained teams.

Enterprise tier custom pricing absorbs large organizations with undefined needs (10+ teams, private servers, 24/7 support). ProtoPie's willingness to offer custom pricing signals confidence that enterprises value sensor interaction capabilities and will pay 5-10x Basic tier price for governance and compliance. However, the absence of public Enterprise pricing creates opacity and increases sales friction—organizations cannot benchmark their spending without requesting quotes.
