Both let you study real products without signing up for them. Here's how they differ on format, platforms, library size, pricing, and when to pick each.

Page Flows and Mobbin exist for the same reason: you shouldn't have to sign up for fifty products to see how they work. Page Flows turns that into annotated screen recordings of real user journeys across iOS, Android, web, and email. Mobbin turns it into the largest record of shipped product design, collected since 2018: 620,000+ screens and 153,400+ flows across web and iOS, searchable by you and your AI agents.

Which one you need mostly comes down to whether you'd rather be walked through a journey or go find the answer yourself.

What they have in common

Both are built from shipped products. Both capture flows the hard way, by signing up, paying, and recording, so you don't have to. Both are hand-curated, add new flows weekly, and were serving designers well before AI tools showed up.

Where Mobbin is better

Coverage. As of October 2026: 79,000+ screens on their site, 620,000+ on Mobbin’s, almost 8x, collected since 2018 and trusted by 3M+ designers. That includes apps you can't research yourself and, when one vertical needs real depth, Finance+ goes deeper inside US finance apps that sit behind KYC checks and funded accounts.

Flows. There are 153,400+ of them, searchable like everything else: search "checkout" and you get the whole sequence from cart to confirmation, step by step.

Motion and app history. Animations ship with playback controls, so you can scrub a transition like a video, because it is one. And every app's past versions stay in the library: when an app redesigns, we keep the before. That record runs back to 2018.

Search. Type what you mean, like "onboarding screens that feel like a warm welcome," and Deep Search reads the intent instead of matching keywords. Search also finds text inside screenshots, so searching "invite" surfaces every screen with an invite button.

AI integrations. Your AI tools get the same library you do: Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT, or any MCP client can pull screens and full flows mid-task over MCP, there's a REST API on Team and Enterprise plans, design skills are live (install in Claude; more apps soon), and a month of real queries shows how people use it.

We'll be honest

Page Flows covers Android and email flows, and we can't promise dates for either.

Our flows aren't annotated. You get the screens, the motion, and the history; the reading is on you.

And there's no free MCP trial yet; you need a paid plan to try it. Free MCP credits are on the way.

Which should you pick?

You're a designer or team shipping products. Mobbin. If "how do the top apps and sites handle this?" is a daily question, answering it well takes a larger sample size: 620,000+ screens across web and iOS, full flows, app history, and apps you can't sign up for yourself. And your AI agents search the same library over MCP.

You learn best from annotated walkthroughs. Page Flows. With every flow, you also get a recording with step-by-step notes.

You need Android or email references. Page Flows. We don't cover either today.

You're a student. Mobbin Student Pro is $5 a month while you're in school, with a two-minute verification.
