I had been looking for a way to speed up my overall design/development workflow and Draftium was exactly what I needed. Photoshop was originally my go to tool for creating prototypes, but they are not interactive. After testing a few alternatives, I found Draftium via AppSumo. Now it takes a fraction of the time it used to take to create prototype. My clients are amazed at how fast I work and love being able to provide feedback while they are view the prototype. This is a must if you are looking to improve your workflow.
Pros
The ability to create interactive prototypes quickly.
Cons
I do not have any cons. So far, the app has everything I need.

The wireframes/prototypes give enough detail to impress an end user or client, and allow for review of UX, without giving too much detail as to lock down a design. As a wire framing and prototyping tool should do.
Pros
I love the ready made pages and sections for pages. Their designs are simple and clean and allow for easy creation of a project and communication with a client or team.
Cons
I wish the shared drafts had better commenting and reviewing functionality. At the moment I have my prototypes integrated with userback but an integrated solution would be more ideal.

Good Software (But Limited) - Disturbing moderation

What started off as a really helpful tool quickly spiraled into something that was not.
After using the software for several years on many projects, I went to login to my account and got a "username not found" error. I had logged in a week earlier, so I tried to reset my password but to no avail. Then I checked one of my preview links and it said my account was suspended.
After contacting them through their sales chat, I was told that my account had been suspended because one of my projects looked like a scam, and this was a possible violation of their terms of use. Keep in mind this was a very, very rough draft, which consisted mostly of a few grabby headlines and Lorem Ipsum placeholder text. I assured them my client was a legitimate, brick-and-mortar business who has been in business for over 40 years. They asked for proof of this, so I provided an email from my client describing his business and what he needed. This was not sufficient.
Two more days go by and I was contacted by the "head of customer service". Instead of being helpful or considerate of the situation, he instructed me to submit my client's "statutory documents and financial license" so they can get this resolved. That information, of course, is none of their business and I refused. This overreach while secretly moderating my project disturbs me. I don't know whats going on at Draftium/Weblium, but it's not their place to do this, especially on a mockup. I'm done with Draftium, so in the end they wasted
Pros
Wireframing is an important part of my development process and I'm familiar with several wireframing platforms. Aside from a couple of annoyances, Draftium did the job I needed the quickest. It WAS good for feeding my creativity and assembling a good design.
The pre-built modules are easy to choose and drag onto the page.
When using Draftium as a prototype, the flow was easy to see and show my client.
Cons
There is an annoying customer service chat button right on top of the design. It's big, always there, and can't be closed. An off-canvas slide-in button would be less intrusive.
The section blocks are limited. You can remove some of the block's components to customize, but you can't add anything and often end up with something that is not the way you wanted to present it.
Always seemed like they were trying to steer you to other products they create.
Clearly did not value me as a customer. For a company that says they have great customer service, the manner in which I was treated after a misunderstanding on their part was inexcusible.

I wanted to mock up sites and wireframes quickly. When compared to how I used to do it on photoshop Draftium has saved me, quite literally, days. It's interactive and I genuinely feel gives me an edge over my competitors. The customer service is good and they generally reply quite quick. It's still missing some key functionality (such as e-commerce modules and more flexibility in columns) but for the price it is spot on. Would highly recommend.
Pros
The software is, generally, incredibly easy to use and has sped up the time it takes me to wireframe and provide concept ideas sevenfold. I used to use photoshop combined with indesign to mock ideas up and provide interactive working examples. Draftium allows me to do this much much quicker, with pre-made modular blocks and a drag and drop builder. Furthermore, it offers me the ability to allow my clients to comment on what they like and don't like.
Cons
It doesn't have all the "blocks" I need yet. For example, when I want to wireframe e-commerce type sites I have to get a bit "creative" with how I use the blocks as they don't have anything which resembles a woocommerce type layout. Also, the ability to change the content in "columns" is incredibly limited.

It is turbo tool - no doubt
Reviewed on 10/01/2019
Pros
I have been using lots of different tools - this one does exactly what it says. I was able to create a website prototype in 13,5 minutes (Yes I checked that because I wanted to challenge creators).
Love the tool and its approach.
Cons
Waiting for the export to Wordpress, they already added export to www.weblium.com, but I'd like to get more options.

Terrible site - please do not waste your time

TERRIBLE. A pain in the ass.
TERRIBLE. A pain in the ass.
Pros
Nothing I can think of - all the drawbacks outweigh the benefits. Don't waste time with Draftium.
Cons
Draftium is incredibly slow to load and doesn't process any input well. The site is very limited in its functionality and usually malfunctions. Especially if your website features non-English text, I'd not bother trying. The "Comment" feature, one of the main reasons I decided to use it in the first place, basically doesn't work for more than half the people I ask to comment on the site.

Loved it at first but lost hundreds of hours from them deleting the active project, even after providing proof the site was being visited and was active support did little to nothing to help resolve the issue.
Pros
Easy to implement but not the most friendly of design.
Cons
Biggest issue that ruined the whole experience was the prototype being deleted, even though the site was getting visited regularly. There was a 22 day period between when the product worked last and then suddenly it was deleted, even though they have a 6 month active retention policy that should prevent this. This proved to be false.

Very positive. Excellent tool for drafting a website prototype and sharing drafts with partners/collaborators.
Pros
The UI is so intuitive it's actually fun! With great templates and blocks, all the pieces needed to create a clear mockup are at your fingertips. It's easy to switch between views on cell phone, tablet, and desktop. An excellent tool!
Cons
Turning the design into an active website requires using their Weblium website builder. It would be great to have the option to import into other builders.

Pros
I loved the simplistic and intuitive UI, which doesn't require much time to get used to. I created a great prototype in just 20 minutes, which is fantastic.
Cons
In some cases, would love more customization, e.g. move some block elements. It's not necessary as I pass the prototype to designers in any case.

Great software for copywriting and wireframing at the same time, and showing it to potential clients. If only they can add the team member feature!
Pros
Instead of using a word document, I can use Draftium for copywriting to give the UI designer an idea of where the words should go on a website. Game-changer!
Cons
I dislike how there isn't an option for a team member or collaborator to go into the prototype and edit it. They kept referring me to Weblium, but I don't want to use it. I want this feature in Draftium.

Pros
ITs very quick to get something up straight away.. Like 10 minutes and you could have a fully prototyped website.
Cons
I feel the software is designed to be upsold on. It would be great for example to have more e-commerce protoypes, so clients can see what a shop would look like, but their upsell sister software doesnt have that feature so they dont do it.
