The primary reason InVision failed. Figma offers browser-based, real-time collaboration with design, prototyping, and dev handoff in one tool. Gain: All-in-one workflow, multiplayer editing, FigJam for whiteboarding. Trade-off: Requires internet connection, subscription for full team features.

The original partner tool that InVision was built to complement. Sketch now has native prototyping and collaboration features. Gain: Native Mac performance, mature plugin ecosystem, one-time license option. Trade-off: Mac-only, collaboration features still catching up to Figma.

Acquired InVision's Freehand product. Recommended by InVision for whiteboarding users. Gain: Robust whiteboarding, visual collaboration, integrations. Trade-off: Not a design tool, different use case than InVision's core prototyping.

Adobe's answer to Figma and InVision, though development has slowed. Gain: Integration with Creative Cloud, familiar Adobe interface. Trade-off: Adobe deprioritizing XD for Figma partnership, uncertain future.

Design tool with advanced prototyping and the ability to publish real websites. Gain: Code-level control, production-ready output, modern component system. Trade-off: Steeper learning curve, different mental model than traditional prototyping.

Simpler prototyping tool for teams that don't need Figma's full feature set. Gain: Easy to learn, quick prototyping, affordable. Trade-off: Less powerful than Figma, limited design capabilities.
