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. Webflow counters with Visual CSS/HTML builder with full code control and Built-in CMS for blogs, portfolios, and dynamic content.
InVision's Achilles heel: shut down its core studio product — effectively pivoted to freehand only. most teams have moved to figma. Webflow's: steep learning curve if you do not understand css concepts — it is visual but not simple. Pick whichever weakness you can live with.
Bottom Line
If you value freehand whiteboard and teams that need lightweight, go with InVision. If designers who want to matters more, Webflow is your pick. Neither is a bad choice — but one will fit your workflow better.
