    Chose InVision
    InVision has a better user experience and is easier/nicer to use. However Proto.io lets you design mocked up pages without a need of a designer. Proto.io has a very limited free tier. With InVision you can get a lot done with the free tier or basic tier. InVision studio has …

    Chose InVision
    For more complicated and accurate prototyping, our team relies on Proto.io and Axure. These tools give many more options for communicating ideas beyond simple mockup screen, click a button, next mockup screen. One caveat though, is that the learning curve for these tools is …

    Chose InVision
    InVision is a great tool to use and well worth the price. However, if you're looking for some variety, UXPin and Figma are worth looking into too. While UXPin may be a tad simplistic in the design ability, Figma is a great competitor to InVision. Both tools are worth looking …

    Chose InVision
    Truthfully, while we have looked at others, InVision has the name recognition in the web design community and a tight integration with Sketch which is what was important to us. We have not seriously considered others, but may in the future as our needs change. This is our first …

    Chose Proto.io
    In the end, we decided not to continue using Proto.io and instead use tools we were already using.
    • For just presenting workflows to stakeholders, InVision worked almost as well (not as robust in interactions, but when you want to focus on the steps, that's better anyway).

    Chose Proto.io
    Proto.io can be more complicated than some of those tools because it gives us a lot of features in the same product. Some of those tools are better for wireframing. Still, for prototyping, my choice is Proto.io because its prototyping workflow, even if it can be a little …

    InVision is well suited for design reviews and immersing yourself in the experience of an app-to-be. As a Product Manager, it's difficult to take abstract concepts, user pain points, and business needs, and produce a vision for an app without a visual aid to communicate a vision. InVIsion offers PMs, designers, and developers the opportunity to sketch a vision, communicate about it with inline commenting, and shareable with other stakeholders.

    Proto.io is the perfect solution for UX/UI designers that need to create and share interactive prototypes. Proto excels at the interactive part. There are so many different ways to make elements change or interact, whether you're viewing the prototype on a computer (mouse clicks) or on a phone (screen touches). We could build and prototype our entire mobile app on here if we wanted to because Proto.io has the customization that we need to make the app look and feel like ours. If you're looking for a software to create wireframes and static mockups, Proto.io is probably overkill for you.

    Pros
    InVisionApp Inc.
    • Very easy to export Sketch files (where prototypes are actually created) into Invision and preserve the interactivity.
    • Additional interactivity can be added in InVision. Like scrolling with locked footer.
    • Clients, designer and developers can collaborate - leave notes and respond to notes made by others.

    Cons
    InVisionApp Inc.
    • would be nice to have commands for quick access to shapes from the keyboard
    • Quicker integrations with Notion and lucid chart to have a slick experience
    • The auto organize option should have multiple frame selection, sometimes is not the arranged expected for the wireframe

    I didn't need to contact InVision support, as I've never needed it. They have an intuitive UI, and most of the questions are answered in their help portal or in tutorials online. Since many people use it, there a great resources available on for example YouTube. No problems so far with InVision.

    We only tested out using Adobe XD for similar uses and found it to be more challenging to fit within our processes. It didn't have as robust a set of capabilities as InVision and wasn't as easy to use enterprise wide. I recall also having issues with working with Sketch.

    Proto.io is definitely the premier mockup and wireframe application. Lucidchart shares some of the capability but can be a bit clunky. Proto.io is interactive and smooth and helps you to see exactly how your UI will look and behave before the development stage. Additionally, it's library of native components is robust.

    Return on Investment
    InVisionApp Inc.
    • InVision helps our team better and more professionally portray the value and the work we do as designers, leading to more company buy-in in supporting and funding our work. In the past, we would create PowerPoints with screenshots to portray a user workflow that we would share out to stakeholders. Once we began to use this app, where stakeholders could click through and comment as though they were “real” users, stakeholders began to better understand our work, designs, and workflows. This has led to more productive conversations that, in turn, lead to more effective end products that have more consistently served our business goals in tangible ways.
    • InVision helps us save production time, effort, and cost, as we are able to solve design issues early in the process by having clickable prototypes to show to internal stakeholders and external users. It’s, understandably, difficult for people to provide effective feedback on screenshots. Using the clickable prototypes we created in InVision, we are able to get more effective feedback to solve user workflow issues before we spend time and money developing problematic designs (and later having to redesign them).
    • It’s easier to market designs to potential buyers with clickable prototypes than with screenshots. With these prototypes, we’ve been able to sell more digital products before product release dates, which has helped to secure many contracts and new business relationships that continue to this day.
