I'm looking for a web-based app which I would use to create quick mockup/wireframe of a web page and share that with a client.

Main requirements are:

  • Free (or cheap, less than $5 per month)
  • Online based
  • Can share link of mockup without asking user who needs to see it to register

Optional

  • Usable on tablets or have Android app
  • Can export design as PNG or JPG

  • For other visitors: Balsamiq starts at 12$/m, so it seems not a valid answer here, otherwise I'd probably have suggested it. Commented Jun 2, 2016 at 7:15

    And Pencil is not available as a web app. Damn, no reputation to earn today ;-) Commented Jun 2, 2016 at 7:18
  • @Thomas Tell the OP to just use Cameyo's Play feature with Pencil:)

  • Execute interaction sequentially & simultaneously
  • Interaction state
  • Masters
  • My favorites
  • Fast review
  • Scan QR code to preview app prototype on mobile

There's two that come to mind, first, there's Wireframe.cc. There is a free and premium version. The free version appears to meet your requirements of,

  • Being free, ya!
  • Online based, it's a web app - no software required
  • Can share public links
  • Appears to be able to be used on tablets with no issues

The premium version just includes private accounts & wireframes, multipaged wireframes, clickable elements, an export feature to PDF & PNG, and allows for revisions. This should work for what you're trying to do.

wireframe|cc (freemium)

Wireframe.cc offers a clutter-free environment instead of countless toolbars and icons that we all know from other tools and apps. You can now focus on your ideas and easily sketch them before they fade away.

    Update Nov 2021: wireframe.cc are no longer "Freemium". They now offer you a free 7-day trial of the full version; and then you must switch to a subscription plan (Minimum 16$/month at this time).
