costFactors:
  - name: Subscription Cost
    description: >-
      Primary cost driver was the per-seat subscription fee. Free plan allowed
      limited prototypes. Pro plan was billed monthly or annually per user.
      Enterprise contracts were negotiated annually.
    tiers:
      - plan: Free
        costPerUser: 0.00
        billingCycle: monthly
      - plan: Pro
        costPerUser: 7.95
        billingCycle: monthly
        annualEquivalent: 4.00
      - plan: Enterprise
        costPerUser: 35.00
        billingCycle: monthly
        notes: Estimated based on reported $420/seat/year median contracts

  - name: API Usage
    description: >-
      API access was included with all subscription plans. There were no
      additional per-call charges for the DSM Design Tokens API or other
      platform APIs. Cost was flat based on subscription tier.
    additionalCost: 0.00
    notes: API access was bundled with subscription plans, not metered separately

  - name: Storage
    description: >-
      Prototype and asset storage was included in subscription plans. Free plan
      had limited storage. Pro and Enterprise plans included expanded storage.
    additionalCost: 0.00
    notes: Storage was bundled with plan tiers, no overage charges documented publicly

  - name: Integrations
    description: >-
      Third-party integrations (Jira, Slack, GitHub, Storybook, Zapier) were
      available at no additional cost as part of Pro and Enterprise plans.
    additionalCost: 0.00

optimization:
  - recommendation: Plan right-sizing
    description: >-
      Teams should audit active users and prototype usage against their
      subscription tier to avoid paying for unused seats.
    applicablePlans:
      - Pro
      - Enterprise

  - recommendation: Annual billing
    description: >-
      Opting for annual billing on the Pro plan reduced per-user cost from
      $7.95/month to approximately $4.00/month — a savings of roughly 50%.
    savingsEstimate: 50%
    applicablePlans:
      - Pro

  - recommendation: DSM token automation
    description: >-
      Using the DSM Design Tokens API to automate token consumption in CI/CD
      pipelines eliminated manual design handoff overhead, reducing developer
      time costs associated with manual asset extraction.
    costType: operational efficiency

migration:
  note: >-
    InVision shut down permanently on January 1, 2025. All organizations
    should have migrated to alternative platforms. Primary alternatives include:

notes: >-
  Historical median annual contract value for InVision was approximately $600
  per year based on 15 verified purchases across all plan tiers. Enterprise
  contracts typically ranged from $420-$450 per seat annually. All InVision
  costs are now zero as the service no longer operates.
