It’s become my go-to tool for collaboration.... if there’s any chance I can work in InVision Freehand, I’m there!

Anna M.

Brand Strategist, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

I would highly recommend using Freehand. One of the easiest team collaboration tools I've ever used.

Josh C

Product Design Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

We started working Freehand during middle of Covid-19 pandemic, but we are still using this in hybrid model in our company. We tested two major competitors as well (M*), but simplicity and feature selection were the best with Freehand.

Michał J.

Business Strategy Manager, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

It’s extremely simple and intuitive to use. I’ve done live workshops with clients who have never used InVision before manage to start brainstorming with me in less than a minute.

Why customers tell us they prefer Freehand over Mural

With budgets tightening, a flexible pricing model that suits your needs is only the beginning. Freehand has all of the features your teams use the most, at a price-per-seat that’s half the cost of Mural.

Cross-team collaboration shouldn’t mean crossed wires. Simplicity is at the heart of what we do, and teams tell us with Freehand it is easier to get started because there aren’t as many confusing ribbons, banners and toolbars as Mural.

With Mural, many integrations rely on Zapier as a connector while others are read-only on the canvas. With Freehand all of our integrations are direct connections and many can be interacted with, passing data back-and-forth with the integrated app.

With Freehand’s Whiteboard Importer you can bring your Mural whiteboards directly into Freehand. Whether self-serve or with a little help from our team, you can keep all your work while cutting cost.

Bring people, tools and work together in one place to give context to and create a single source of truth for all projects. With Mural, you can organize content into rooms and folders, but that doesn’t include 3rd party content like you can with Freehand and isn’t available on all plan types.

Embed InVision and Figma prototypes as well as Sketch, Adobe XD and Figma screens, all right on the same canvas for reviews, feedback, presentations and hand-off. Mural does not offer integrations with Adobe XD, Sketch, or Figma, and flat designs pasted on to the canvas are not inspectable.

Access an always-updating Template Gallery

The Freehand Template Gallery is full of 200 pre-made templates from leading brands like Xbox, Amazon, and American Express – and growing every day. From design to development and everything in between, you’ll find a template that works for you.
