InVision vs Figma
InVision was once the leading prototyping and collaboration platform before Figma emerged. Despite reinventing itself with InVision Studio and Freehand, it has lost significant market share. InVision is shutting down its cloud platform and encouraging users to migrate, making Figma the clear migration destination.

How Appaca works
Appaca is not another SaaS tool to evaluate. It builds you a working app from a plain description — with database, dashboards, and team access — and runs it on the platform.
Describe what you need
Tell Appaca what you need in plain language. No forms, no setup wizard — just describe the job to be done.
Chat with AI to refine it
Appaca AI builds your app and stays available to refine it. Change behaviour, add fields, adjust flows — all in chat.
Use it immediately
Your app runs on Appaca with a built-in database, file storage, and team access. No deployment, no devops.
Everything your team needs, built in
Appaca provides the full stack for internal and personal software — no integrations to wire up, no hosting to manage.
Build and update apps by chatting with AI
Describe what you need and Appaca builds a working app. Come back any time to refine it — add new fields, change behaviour, or extend functionality — all without writing code.
Built-in database and file storage
Every Appaca app comes with a secure database and file storage ready to use. No external service to connect, no schema to design — Appaca handles the data layer automatically.
Connect to services your team already uses
Appaca apps can connect to Google Sheets, Slack, Airtable, and any service that supports an API or webhook — so your app fits into your existing workflow instead of replacing it.

Common questions
Yes, InVision announced in 2023 that it would be winding down its cloud collaboration platform. InVision Freehand was sold, and users have been encouraged to migrate to alternatives like Figma or Miro.
Figma is the most common migration destination for design and prototyping work. Miro or FigJam work well for the whiteboarding and ideation use cases that InVision Freehand served.
Figma does not have a native InVision import. Third-party migration services and manual processes are needed. Assets can be exported from InVision and imported into Figma with some rework required.
Appaca is a platform for personal software. You describe what you need and Appaca builds a working app with a database, dashboards, and team access — no code or deployment required. It is not a replacement for the tools compared on this page. Try it free at appaca.ai.
