About Axure RP
Axure RP is a desktop prototyping tool favoured by UX professionals who need prototypes that behave like real software. Beyond linking screens, it supports conditional logic, variables, dynamic panels, repeaters for data-driven lists, adaptive views and mouse, touch and keyboard events, so you can simulate forms, filters and multi-step flows without code. It also handles wireframes, flow diagrams and documentation, which makes it common in enterprise, finance and government projects where detailed specifications matter. Prototypes are published to Axure Cloud for sharing, inspection and comments. The power comes with a learning curve and a dated feel next to Figma, and real-time co-editing is limited to the Team edition. Licences are per user, billed monthly or annually, for Pro, Team and Enterprise editions, and a fully functional 30-day trial is available. Axure RP runs on Windows and macOS.
Best for: UX professionals who need realistic, logic-heavy prototypes and detailed specs.
