Download the pdf version of the comparison table. The primary take away from my study is that Although helpful for simple click-through prototypes, the Sketch+Invision or Sketch+Marvel Invision Studio, still in Beta, is promising. The approach of mirroring Sketch’s design features shows its limits. Framer is the only tool you need to create interactive designs for any platform. Powering the product teams at Dropbox, Pinterest, Twitter, and thousands more.
Studio features an array of tools for designing for screens, as well as the ability to add in animations and transitions, and an intelligent engine that helps you create responsive layouts. You can also share your work and get feedback from colleagues, share components with others, and buy design element kits from InVision’s store right within the app.
That sounds neat, but InVision will have its work cut out for it in encouraging established designers to switch from Sketch or Adobe’s offerings. Besides having to get used to a new interface, they’ll also have to think about the challenge of leaving the cloud ecosystems of those rival apps. Invision says it’s already rolled out an early preview of Studio to some of its biggest clients, including Airbnb and Oracle; it’ll be available publicly in January 2018, but you can to try it out sooner. The app will be free to InVision users; aside from the free plan, subscriptions start at $15 a month for three prototypes and go up to $99 a month for the team plan with unlimited prototypes. That’s a bit more than the cost of Sketch, which comes in at $99 a year, and Adobe XD, which will set you back by $10 a month.
