## The panel's verdict

UXPin, a browser-based design tool from UXPin Inc., a Delaware corporation, is judged strongest at prototyping and developer handoff and weakest on sovereignty and pricing transparency. Design and prototyping scores cluster at 7-8, resting on variables, conditional logic, expressions and states, in-editor WCAG contrast checks with colour-blindness simulation, and colour and font tokens that translate into code. Collaboration and handoff sits at 6-7 on code-backed components, generated specs and CSS, React export with dependencies, named Git, Storybook, npm, Jira and Slack integrations, and guest review without sign-up. Sovereignty scores sit at 1: we found no public information on where files, assets or AI prompts are hosted or on a subprocessor list, beyond a privacy-policy rule restricting personal-data transfers to US Data Privacy Framework-listed or GDPR-covered entities. Pricing transparency spans 2-4: the published ladder — Free, Core, Growth, Enterprise — lists AI credits of 50, 200/month and 500/month, custom for Enterprise, but we found no public information on per-seat prices. AI and content rights spans 3-4 between named-model disclosure and unanswered training, opt-out and indemnity questions.

**Speaks for it:**
- Prototyping with variables, conditional logic, expressions and element states, plus in-editor WCAG contrast checks and colour-blindness simulation
- Code-backed components with generated specs, CSS and React export with dependencies, and named Git, Storybook, npm, Jira and Slack integrations
- Stakeholders and clients approve or reject and leave feedback via a shared link without signing up
- Terms state the subscriber owns their data, with removal 30 days after termination and a machine-readable copy available by email
- AI models named per plan — GPT 5-mini, 5.1, Claude Haiku 4.5 — with AI credits published as 50, 200/month and 500/month

**Held against it:**
- Sovereignty scores sit at 1: we found no public information on where files, assets or AI prompts are hosted or on a subprocessor list
- We found no public information on per-seat prices for any paid plan, viewer or guest billing, or seat true-ups, with Enterprise pricing custom
- We found no public information on whether customer files train AI models, opt-outs, processing location, output labelling, or indemnity and commercial-use rights
- We found no public information on whole-file export in a layered or documented format, the general exit being an email request for a machine-readable copy
- We found no public information on locked templates for non-designers, tagging or search across assets, or licence and expiry metadata

**Best for:**
- Your design and engineering teams work from the same code-backed components and want React code with dependencies out of the design file
- You need stakeholders and clients to review, approve or reject prototypes from a shared link without creating accounts
- You are moving Sketch files into a cloud editor and need imported text and shapes to stay editable without Sketch installed

**Avoid if:**
- You must confirm where files and AI prompts are hosted, or review a subprocessor list, before procurement — sovereignty scores sit at 1
- You need published per-seat prices to budget an annual team cost before committing; pricing transparency scores span 2-4
- You need locked templates for non-designers plus licence and expiry metadata on brand assets
- You require answers on AI training use, opt-outs or indemnity for generated output before adopting AI features

## Scores by judge and criterion

Scores out of 5, each judge scoring independently against the published rubric (v1). "n/r" = not rated: the vendor publishes no price.

### The judges

- **The Product Designer** (v1.0): Owns the design system of a B2B software product. Wants components with variants, tokens with modes, prototypes that test a real flow, and library releases that are versioned and reviewable — a design system is a product, not a page of nicely arranged buttons.
- **The Frontend Engineer** (v1.0): Turns the designs into code and gets the ticket when they disagree. Wants an inspect mode without a paid seat, tokens exported in a documented format, components mapped to the code ones, and an API that reads the whole file rather than a screenshot of it.
- **The Brand Marketer** (v1.0): Keeps the brand consistent across twelve sales offices that make their own flyers. Wants locked templates non-designers can use, guidelines inside the tool, licence and expiry dates on every stock image, and a clear answer on whether a generated image may go on a trade-fair stand.
- **The Agency Owner** (v1.0): Runs a design agency of fifteen and hands every project over to the client at the end. Wants files that export with layers and components intact, guests who are not billed as editors, and terms that say the client owns the work — and what happens to it after a cancellation.
- **The Data Protection Officer** (v1.0): Reviews every tool where unreleased products, customer screenshots and employee photos end up. Wants the contracting entity and hosting region named, the AI providers on the subprocessor list, and training on customer files excluded for the whole organisation in the terms — not behind a toggle each user has to find.
- **The Skeptic** (v1.0): Has read "free for viewers", "commercially safe AI" and "export anytime" on every page in this category. Reads instead for the click that turns a reviewer into a billed editor, the plan the IP indemnity actually covers, and whether the export keeps a single component.
