Cons
Con Watermark on export for free users
If you are a free user, exporting a document will create a watermark.
Con Web version requires Flash
Flash is known to have security flaws and use high resources.
Con Dekstop version is commercial
If you want to use dekstop version, you need to pay $75.00/ user.
Con Expensive subscription model
$29 per user/mo ($350 pa) will soon rack up compared to a standalone product like Axure PRO ($450) which has a license that lasts years (they have given out free updates for the last 2 versions).

UXPin is one of the more complex prototyping tools. Combined with a lack of documentation, it can be discouraging for first time users.
