The Verdict
InVision is built for design teams and product managers, with a focus on prototyping and freehand-whiteboard. Stormboard targets facilitators and meeting leaders and leads with sticky-notes and templates.
Pricing is close: InVision starts at $7.95/mo versus $10/mo for Stormboard — 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: Stormboard has a slight overall edge — but if excellent prototyping with hotspots and transitions matters most to you, InVision may still be the right call.
