Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Mockfy at 100% against Adobe XD's 40%. Adobe XD's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 3.8) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 12 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Adobe XD sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $1.99 per month and Mockfy sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Adobe XD holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Adobe XD has 11K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 40% of Adobe XD's written reviews are positive against 100% of Mockfy's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Adobe XD ships an update every 5 weeks, Mockfy every 12 months. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
