App prototypes in Figma
Before you invest in development, see and try your app. We create clickable Figma prototypes that feel like the real app: you can tap through them on your phone, show them to users, present them to investors or partners, and use them to get much more accurate development quotes.
Updated:
- Test your app before it's coded
- Ideal for investors
- More accurate development quotes

How we create your prototype
We design before we code, deliver in versions you can test on your phone, and support you through launch and later improvements.
-
Step 1: Discovery
We define users, goals, must-have features, and what can wait for a second version.
You: tell us about the idea and your users
You get: the scope of the first version -
Step 2: UX/UI design
We create the screen flow and a clickable Figma prototype to validate it before coding.
You: test the prototype on your phone
You get: an approved prototype -
Step 3: Sprint-based development
We build in short cycles and deliver installable test versions.
You: test each version
You get: a working test app -
Step 4: Testing and publishing
We test on multiple devices and publish on Google Play, the App Store, or your own domain.
You: give us access to your store accounts
You get: a published app -
Step 5: Ongoing improvement
We measure usage, fix issues, and plan the next versions.
You: share your feedback
You get: a release plan and support

App prototyping in Figma FAQ
Is the prototype a working app?
No. It looks and clicks like the app, but it doesn't store data or have real logic; it's for validation.
Can I see it on my phone?
Yes, with the Figma app or a link in the browser.
Can the design be used for development?
Yes. If it's taken to high fidelity, developers use it as an exact reference.
How long does it take?
A prototype of the main flows is usually ready in a few weeks.
What else are Figma prototypes called?
People also search for this as an app prototype, interactive mockup or clickable prototype. It ties in with Figma prototypes, wireframes, usability testing, technical support and updates, which we review with you when your project needs them.
