InVision vs Proto.io: What are the differences?
What is InVision? Prototyping & Collaboration For Design Teams. InVision lets you create stunningly realistic interactive wireframes and prototypes without compromising your creative vision.
What is Proto.io? Build high-fidelity fully interactive mobile app prototypes in minutes. Proto.io supports all the major mobile gestures and touch events like tap, tap-hold, swipe, pinch, and zoom. Interaction designers are not limited to a single ‘link’ transition anymore. Instead they can apply animated screen transitions like slide, fade, pop, flip, flow, and turn.
InVision and Proto.io belong to "Interactive Mockups" category of the tech stack.
Some of the features offered by InVision are:
- Quickly link up your UX sketches, digital wireframes and even high-fidelity designs to share with your team.
- Send out a link to load your project in a browser, present it in-person, or sms your project direct to a mobile device for an instant touchable demo.
- Threaded comments connect to a specific point on-screen and double up as to-dos.
On the other hand, Proto.io provides the following key features:
- Interactive designs
- Prototype for all devices
- Wonderful UI libraries
"Collaborative" is the primary reason why developers consider InVision over the competitors, whereas "Easy to get started with a good set of UI controls" was stated as the key factor in picking Proto.io.
