The Real Difference
Both offer free tiers, so the real question is what you get when you start paying.
InVision stands out with Freehand whiteboard and Prototyping and animations. Lunacy counters with Sketch file compatibility and Built-in design assets.
InVision's Achilles heel: shut down its core studio product — effectively pivoted to freehand only. most teams have moved to figma. Lunacy's: smaller community means fewer plugins and tutorials — you’re often on your own for troubleshooting. Pick whichever weakness you can live with.
Bottom Line
If you value freehand whiteboard and teams that need lightweight, go with InVision. If designers on a budget matters more, Lunacy is your pick. Neither is a bad choice — but one will fit your workflow better.
