Google is adding Pixate (mobile-app development platform) to its suite of services for designers.
Pixate tool allows app developers to create visual prototypes that run on both Apple and Android devices.
A basic version of the service will be made available free. A version that lets teams collaborate will cost $5 per designer a month, or $50 per designer a year.
Pixate, a startup based in Palo Alto, Calif., counted venture firm Accel Partners and startup accelerator Y Combinator among its investors. It raised $3.8 million in Series A financing in 2013.
Terms of the deal weren’t disclosed in blog posts from Google and Pixate.
