As an example, see the following mockup of Microsoft Internet Explorer and the homepage of using the new Wireframe shapes (mockup is on the left, and the actual software is on the right): The intent is to offer the UX community with medium-fidelity UI shapes and icons that can be used to create wireframes for general software design for a wide variety of platforms (e.g. For Visio 2010, we decided to refresh those stencils by providing a brand new set of Wireframe shapes that are generic and not specific to the operating system.
In the past, Visio included a set of Windows XP stencils for such work. Many software wireframes (aka software mockups) are built using Visio, and they can range from mobile software, interactive web sites, to enterprise application software.

Let’s have a look at some of them.īelow is an example of Flowchart which has been designed in LucidChart and then integrated with this document.īoiling down to the comparison between the two, what really matters is how you want to frame your business logic. Moving forward with the comparison, as earlier mentioned LucidChart can be integrated with third-party tools as well, which can’t be possible with Balsamiq. Lacks creativity, very restricted in what it can create and cannot change the way the components look or feel
Notifications are available to track real time activity of the team membersĬan share the projects with other team members for better collaborationĪll the Balsamiq UI elements are hand drawn and have a really nice low-fidelity designģ0 – days free trial available but with restricted features Simple UI as well with a section of tutorial present inside the tool Very Simple UI design, helps to create wireframes of Web as well as Mobile applications with in-built library of over 75 elements and 187 icons moreover as community generated plugins PROSĬan integrate with a 3rd party tool like JiraĬan integrate with 3rd party tools like Jira, Google Drive, Salesforce Sales Cloud, Dropbox etc Let’s get into the Pros and Cons of both the BI tools.
LucidChart, quick outlook of the process with the flowchart.Balsamiq, starting with the wireframing.
Have a look at the screenshot for a better understanding.
When anyone is looking for an online application to sketch and share professional flowchart diagrams, the first tool which hits the mind is LucidChart while on the other hand Balsamiq is most importantly used as a Wireframing tool that helps you work quicker and smarter. Let’s take a brief tour of both together. One is best known for creating Wireframes whereas other is well known for Flowchart, Business Documentation and Webinars. Both Lucidchart vs Balsamiq have their unique characteristics.
