InVision

InVision was once the undisputed leader in design prototyping and collaboration, and while the landscape has shifted significantly with Figma's rise, it remains a tool that many agencies still use — particularly for its commenting workflow and Freehand whiteboarding. For agencies with established InVision-based workflows, the platform still delivers solid value for prototype sharing and design feedback collection.

The commenting system is where InVision originally earned its reputation. Uploading design screens and sharing a link with clients for pinpoint feedback remains a smooth workflow. Freehand, InVision's infinite whiteboard, is a genuinely useful tool for remote brainstorming, workshop facilitation, and early-stage ideation with clients. Many agencies use it alongside their primary design tool for the collaborative thinking that happens before pixels get pushed.

Agencies evaluating their design tool stack today will likely find that Figma covers most of what InVision offers, and more. However, agencies already invested in InVision workflows — or those who specifically value the Freehand whiteboarding experience — may find it worthwhile to maintain their subscription. The key consideration is whether the team benefits enough from InVision's specific strengths to justify running it alongside a more comprehensive tool.
