The Verdict
InVision is built for design teams and product managers, with a focus on prototyping and freehand-whiteboard. Microsoft SharePoint targets enterprise and large organizations and leads with document-management and team-sites.
Pricing is close: Microsoft SharePoint starts at $5/mo versus $7.95/mo for InVision — not a deciding factor on its own.
InVision has a free plan, which gives it a meaningful edge for individuals and small teams exploring their options. Microsoft SharePoint requires a paid subscription from day one.
Bottom line: Microsoft SharePoint has a slight overall edge — but if excellent prototyping with hotspots and transitions matters most to you, InVision may still be the right call.
