The short version

  • Only InVision has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Aha! sold as eight separate products rather than one subscription, so Roadmaps, Discovery, Ideas, Whiteboards, Builder, Develop, Teamwork and Knowledge are each priced per user; InVision service discontinued as of end of 2024; no longer available or supported
  • They diverge on capability: Aha! covers Strategic roadmaps, InVision covers Interactive prototypes.
