Cons

Con
Not well suited for complex prototypes

PoP is built to be a tool for quick prototyping, especially in participatory design sessions. For complex prototypes with a lot of screens it would require a large number of images to be used and this can make any project hard to maintain.

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).
