Over the past few weeks, we asked you to help shape the future of uiPress and uiXpress. The response has been overwhelming, with 189 of you taking the time to share your thoughts, concerns, and feature priorities. Today, we’re excited to share what we learned and announce the path forward.
What You Told Us
The results were clear and consistent. When we asked how you felt about consolidating uiPress Pro features into uiXpress and discontinuing the legacy uiPress platform, the response was overwhelmingly positive:
66% of you are either excited or supportive of this consolidation, seeing it as the logical path forward for the product line.
Here’s the detailed breakdown:
- Excited – sounds like the best path forward: 41%
- Supportive – makes sense long-term: 25%
- Concerned – need more details: 21%
- Neutral – fine either way: 8%
- Against it – prefer keeping both: 5%
This strong support gives us confidence that we’re making the right decision for the community.
Understanding Your Product Usage
Your feedback revealed interesting patterns in how you use our products:
- 45% primarily use uiXpress – appreciating its streamlined, plug-and-play approach
- 41% primarily use uiPress – valuing its powerful customization capabilities
- 14% use both equally – leveraging the strengths of each product
Many of you echoed a common sentiment: you love uiPress’s flexibility but find uiXpress’s simplicity better for day-to-day use. This perfectly encapsulates what we’re aiming to achieve with the merger.

Our Promise to You

Feature Parity First
We will not discontinue uiPress until uiXpress has feature parity with all critical Pro features. This includes:
- Advanced analytics integration
- Custom dashboard builder
- Comprehensive menu customization
- Enhanced user management tools
- White label options
- Login customizer
Smooth Migration Path
We’re developing migration tools to make the transition seamless. Your existing configurations, customizations, and workflows will transfer smoothly to uiXpress.
Existing License Holders
If you have a lifetime uiPress Pro license, you’ll receive equivalent access to all Pro features in uiXpress. Your investment is protected.
Performance & Stability
You emphasized that uiXpress must remain fast, lightweight, and stable. We won’t compromise on performance as we add features. The clean architecture that makes uiXpress fast will be preserved.
No Bloat Promise
Multiple users specifically asked us to keep uiXpress lightweight and avoid the complexity that can come with feature-rich products. We hear you. Features will be modular and optional, so you only load what you need.
For Power Users & Agencies
We saw your detailed responses about the sophisticated setups you’ve built for clients. To the agency owner who said losing these features would be “catastrophic” – we hear you, and we’re available to discuss your specific needs.
If you’re a power user with complex requirements, we’d love to chat. Reach out to us directly so we can ensure your workflows are supported in the new consolidated platform.
What This Means for You Right Now
If you’re on uiPress Pro: Continue using it with confidence. We’ll provide ample notice and migration support before any changes to your service.
If you’re on uiXpress: Exciting new Pro features are coming your way. The product you love will get more powerful while maintaining its simplicity.
If you’re using both: You’ll soon have the best of both worlds in a single, cohesive product.
