Thanks for the ebook, a little feedback in return:
After providing my email address for the ebook, I followed through and created a trial account for your site, and checked out the wireframing tool.
At first glance it looks nice, but I've been a happy subscriber to Balsamiq for over a year now and have no reason to leave at this point.
If there are any major advantages of UXPin over Balsamiq, it's not clear from a cursory look, which is all I have time for at the moment.
I'm also somewhat locked into Balsamiq, given that I have several ongoing projects there.
Hence, your 7-day trial probably won't be long enough to have any effect on people like me. Most likely I'll continue using Balsamiq for the foreseeable future, the trial will expire, and I'll forget about UXPin.
An alternative that might work better, would be to have a non-expiring free tier instead of the trial, with up to, say, 3 projects or something like that. Knowing that I can experiment with UXPin in my own time, when I'm ready (say the start of a new project which could be weeks or months away), and not lose my work, or not lose access to it in 7 days, would be more likely to tempt me to take the time to try it out, and ease into it if I find it better in ways worth making the transition for.
Hope that gives you a little insight into potential customers, good luck!
First of all I really respect what Peldi and Balsamiq did. Balsamiq is a decent (to say the least) wireframing tool with an amazing marketing. They deserve the number of customers they've got.
UXPin is a different tool. We're a young company established by UX Designers and backed up with VC money, aiming at one goal: creation of The UX Design App.
UX Design is much more than mere wireframing and we're here to provide full, well designed, solution for any web, mobile and software team, that cares for stunning user experience.
If you feel that you match this description, I'm sure, pretty soon, you'll find no excuses not to join UXPin :).
We're improving our tool every day and step by step we're getting closer to the ultimate goal.
The trial time is extendable to 30 days (click on 'extend trial' on the top of your dashboard). What's more you can always ping us and we'll be glad to give you further time to work with UXPin.
