Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Figma at none against Mockup's 5. Figma also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (21K vs 583). Mockup's advantage is review sentiment (44% vs 29%) and device support (4 vs 2). On price and rating 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. Mockup sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Figma asks for nothing beyond the download.
Figma holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Figma has 21K ratings behind it against 583, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 29% of Figma's written reviews are positive against 44% of Mockup's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Figma ships an update weekly, Mockup fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 9, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
