The Verdict
Bitbucket is built for atlassian users and small teams, with a focus on git-hosting and pull-requests. InVision targets design teams and product managers and leads with prototyping and freehand-whiteboard.
Pricing is close: Bitbucket starts at $3/mo versus $7.95/mo for InVision — not a deciding factor on its own.
Both offer free plans, so you can test each with your real workflow before committing to a subscription.
Bottom line: Bitbucket has a slight overall edge — but if excellent prototyping with hotspots and transitions matters most to you, InVision may still be the right call.
