popop-draw vs Axure: prototype from one sentence, then edit it like Axure
In Axure, a multi-page prototype means dragging widgets onto a blank canvas for hours or days. In popop-draw you write one sentence and get home, list, detail and form pages in minutes, with links and demo effects already wired — and every button, text and color is a real layer you can click and edit, just like in Axure. Your existing Axure work comes along too: drop the whole HTML export folder in and styles, images and rich text become editable layers you can keep iterating on with AI. Nothing to install, free during the beta.

What popop-draw adds on top of Axure
- Multi-page prototypes from one sentence: "A food delivery app with home, restaurant detail, cart and checkout" gives you 5–7 pages with sheets and dialogs in minutes. The Axure pricing page lists no AI generation.
- The output is layers: not an image, not a code blob. Click any button to change its color, copy or radius, exactly like in Axure.
- Layout self-check: every page is checked for clipped text, overlaps and overflow, fixed against a screenshot and re-tested; changes that make it worse are rolled back.
- Links wired for you: buttons, cards and tab bars point to the right pages, with loading, toast and expand/collapse effects ready for a click-through demo.
- Pre-review checks: Check-up fills in empty and error states; dev, QA, business and new-user roles ask the questions your review meeting would.
- Claude Code and Codex edit your prototype directly over MCP, live on the canvas, with undo.
- Bring your Axure projects: multiple pages, styles, images and rich text arrive as editable layers in one drop.

Move from Axure in four steps
- In Axure, choose Publish → Generate HTML Files.
- Open pop.casebase.space/app and drop the whole folder onto the home screen.
- Every page lands on the canvas as editable layers.
- Ask the AI to revise, or use Iteration diff to write change notes.
When Axure is still worth keeping
- Prototypes built on variables, conditions and repeaters (these are not imported).
- Several people co-editing the same .rp file at once. popop-draw is single-editor with shared demo links and comments.
FAQ
Can popop-draw replace Axure?
For everyday requirement prototypes, reviews and handoff screens, yes — and much faster. Only condition- and variable-heavy logic demos are still better in Axure.
Can I import Axure prototypes?
Yes. Generate HTML in Axure and drop the whole export folder in; pages, styles, images and rich text become editable layers. .rp files cannot be opened directly.
Is popop-draw free?
Everything is free during the beta, and sign-up includes 1.25M AI tokens. Manual drawing, import, export and MCP use no tokens.
