Alternatives

6 free alternatives to Quant-UX

Builders who need a free tier with any explicit quota on seats, projects, or responses should look elsewhere, because Quant-UX stays free without a stated cap but gives no clear limit controls to compare or plan around.

Where Quant-UX's free tier stops

Quant-UX Quant-UX's free offering stops being a planning problem only when you want more than an uncapped, always-free prototype and testing workspace. The free tier includes unlimited prototypes, unlimited user tests, prototyping canvas access, real-time collaboration, analytics, and questionnaires. What you do not get is any stated quota to size against, and there are no paid plans shown on the page to indicate a next step. So the limit is not a number, it is the lack of a defined paid upgrade path or capacity ceiling.

The alternatives

UXPin

FTV 40 / 100

UXPin's free tier gives you a small but concrete prototyping setup: up to 2 prototypes, 50 AI credits per month, built-in coded libraries with MUI components, password-protected preview, and 7 days of version history. That makes it useful for teams that want to test a higher-fidelity workflow or try code-aware prototyping without paying up front. The main free benefit over Quant-UX is the presence of built-in coded libraries and AI credits, which can help with design-system-style work. It falls short on volume, since Quant-UX allows unlimited prototypes and unlimited user tests. Switch if you want a structured, feature-specific free ceiling rather than open-ended testing.

  • Beats Quant-UX: Built-in coded libraries and AI credits
  • Falls short: Unlimited prototypes and unlimited user tests
  • Who should switch: Switch here if you want a tighter free prototyping cap but need code-aware components and versioned preview workflows.

Proto.io

FTV 42 / 100

Proto.io's free offering is a limited account with 1 user, 1 active project, 5 prototype screens, 10 MB storage, preview in the Proto.io app, export to HTML, export to PNG and PDF, import from design tools, branding included, single-click sharing, and no additional reviewers. That is a practical free starter for teams that need to share a small number of mockups and export assets without paying. Its free plan beats Quant-UX on export options and on having explicit project, screen, and storage limits that make the free envelope easy to understand. It falls short badly on scale, because Quant-UX includes unlimited prototypes and unlimited user tests. Choose it if your free work is small and you care about exports.

  • Beats Quant-UX: Export to HTML, PNG, and PDF
  • Falls short: Unlimited prototypes and unlimited user tests
  • Who should switch: Switch here if you only need one small active prototype and want export and sharing features in the free plan.

Lyssna

FTV 69 / 100

Lyssna's free plan includes unlimited quick studies, 3 seats, 15 self-recruited test and survey responses, core methods, GDPR compliance, live chat support, panel access, spaces, and user interviews. It is the best fit when the free need is broader research rather than just prototype testing, because it bundles surveys, interviews, and panel access in one place. Compared with Quant-UX, its advantage is the extra research workflow and included seats, which makes it more suitable for small teams running varied studies. It falls short on scale for self-recruited responses, since that response count is capped. Move here if your free work is research-heavy and you need more than prototype feedback alone.

  • Beats Quant-UX: 3 seats and broader research methods
  • Falls short: Unlimited user tests
  • Who should switch: Switch here if you need a free research workspace with interviews and panel access, not just prototype testing.

Marvel

FTV 47 / 100

Marvel's free plan is simple: the page says it has no time limits for ongoing use before upgrading. That makes it appealing for builders who want a perpetual starter workspace without a stated expiration date. The main free advantage over Quant-UX is the same kind of indefinite access, but with Marvel you are looking at a general design and prototyping workspace that can cover wireframing, prototyping, testing, and handoff in one place. What it lacks is any concrete quota or usage detail in the free tier, so you cannot plan around project counts, storage, or response limits. Pick Marvel if you want indefinite free use and can live with sparse quota detail.

  • Beats Quant-UX: No time limits for ongoing use
  • Falls short: Unlimited prototypes and unlimited user tests are explicitly stated
  • Who should switch: Switch here if you want perpetual free access and do not need clear usage quotas on day one.

Figma

FTV 56 / 100

Figma's free tier gives you unlimited drafts for work in progress, UI kits and templates, 150 AI credits per day up to 500 per month, and free limited access to Figma products. That is useful when the free need is collaborative design work as much as testing, since drafts and shared workflows are the core of the product. It beats Quant-UX on the breadth of design workflow around drafts, templates, and AI credits, while Quant-UX is more directly centered on unlimited prototypes and unlimited user tests. It falls short because the free tier is described as limited access rather than an open-ended research/testing package. Choose Figma if your free work starts with design files and only later becomes prototype testing.

  • Beats Quant-UX: Unlimited drafts and templates
  • Falls short: Unlimited user tests
  • Who should switch: Switch here if you need a free design workspace first and a testing tool second.

SurveyMonkey

FTV 37 / 100

SurveyMonkey's Basic plan lets you view up to 25 responses per survey and send one survey on a free account, with responses beyond the Basic limit subject to deletion after 365 days. That makes it a basic option for one-off feedback collection rather than ongoing product testing. Its free advantage over Quant-UX is that it is clearly defined for survey collection, so you know the response ceiling and retention behavior up front. It falls short on prototype work, collaboration, and the broader testing workflow that Quant-UX includes for free. Move here if your free need is a simple survey cap, not interactive prototyping or usability testing.

  • Beats Quant-UX: Clearly defined survey-response limits
  • Falls short: Unlimited prototypes and unlimited user tests
  • Who should switch: Switch here if your main need is collecting simple survey feedback with a small, explicit free cap.

Two quick picks

Closest drop-in

Proto.io

Proto.io is the closest drop-in for teams already making clickable prototypes and sharing them with reviewers. Its free plan still centers on web-based prototyping, previews, exports, and single-click sharing, so the workflow shift is small even though the quota is tight.

Most free headroom

Figma

Figma gives the most free headroom because its free tier includes unlimited drafts and up to 500 AI credits per month, plus unlimited storage. That leaves more room to keep working before a team has to move to paid seats.

Frequently asked questions

Which alternative is closest if I already use Quant-UX for prototyping and testing?

Proto.io is the closest match because it stays focused on prototypes, previews, and sharing. The free plan is smaller, but the workflow is similar enough that switching is straightforward.

Which free alternative gives the most room before I have to pay?

Figma has the most visible free headroom here because it allows unlimited drafts, unlimited storage, and AI credits every month. It is the least restrictive free tier on the table.

Which option is better if I need research methods beyond prototype tests?

Lyssna is the better fit because its free plan includes quick studies, panel access, interviews, and seats. It is more research-oriented than Quant-UX.

Which alternative has the clearest free cap for planning?

SurveyMonkey and Proto.io both spell out clear limits. SurveyMonkey is the simplest if your work is survey-based, while Proto.io is clearer if your work is prototype-based.

Bottom line

For most builders leaving Quant-UX, Figma is the best next stop because it gives the most free headroom while still covering collaborative product work. If you need a close prototyping workflow, Proto.io is the safer swap. If you need research rather than design, Lyssna fits better. But for the most common case, where the goal is to keep moving freely without immediately hitting a quota wall, Figma is the strongest alternative.
