This will turn the knob to 11.

Improve QA/Dev Relations

A picture is worth 1000 words, especially with developers!

Deep FogBugz Integration

Add wireframes both to cases and wiki pages.

Streamlined integration

Project Management and Bug Tracking Integration: Just edit your case, click on “Add UI Mockup”, create your mockup using the in-browser editor, and save it. The mockup will show up as an image on the case, which others will be able to use as a starting point for a new iteration. Every version of the wireframe is saved on the case, both as an image and as a downloadable BMML file editable with Mockups for Desktop (for when you're offline).

Wiki Integration: just add and edit mockups within wiki pages easily within the browser (screencast coming soon).

What? No free startup and students 2-person version?

We are aware of FogCreek's great Student and Startup free offering. In fact, we use it ourselves! So why don't we offer a similar program? Here's a few reasons:

  • Mockups for FogBugz comes with free Mockups for Desktop, which is normally sold for $79 per user. Our 3-user plan is only $8 per user per month, which we believe is a pretty good deal for both the Desktop version and the Mockups for FogBugz plugin (the way this works is that when we receive your first payment we send you a license key for Mockups for Desktop, in your company name and for an equal number of users as your chosen plan allows).
  • We want to provide great customer support and free updates to all of our Mockups for FogBugz onDemand customers, big or small. These things cost us time and money, as we're sure you'll understand.
  • FogCreek's goal with the free accounts is to spread the word about their great software. We have a similar program with Mockups for Desktop, click here for details.

We hope these bullets will help you understand why we're not offering a free 2-user version of Mockups for FogBugz at the moment. If you'd like to chat about it, get in touch!, we'd love to hear from you.
