Comparison Table

- Ease of use - this metric is split into 2: for beginners and for designers. Beginners have no prior experience with design tools.
- Customization - given a mockup, how easy is it to customize it. For example, replacing the screen placeholder, changing phone colour, angle etc.
- Mockup variations - some resources cover a wide range of styles - with device frame, without it, realistic setting, on a table etc.
- Software Required - do you need any additional software or plugins.
