Daisie vs Invision Community

Daisie is a creative learning and collaboration platform for people looking to develop skills and creative careers. It offers live interactive workshops every day alongside pre-recorded video lessons that learners can watch on their own schedule. Listed subjects include film, fashion, art, photography, and design, with learning from industry creators. Learners can seek feedback from experts and peers, and the site also invites them to join its Discord community. Courses are online and can be taken from anywhere. Requirements depend on the course: one animation course calls for art equipment, Procreate on iPad, and Photoshop with the Animator’s Toolbar installed on an iPad, Macbook, or PC. That course does not guarantee direct instructor comments on student work. Daisie is available on web and iOS. It offers a free plan and a 7-day trial with full access; the listed Standard subscription is free, billed annually. Subscription refund requests can be sent to [email protected].

Invision Community combines discussion forums, publishing, event management, media galleries, webinars and other community tools. Its drag-and-drop page builder makes pages from prebuilt or custom content blocks without coding. Course features include lessons, progression paths, certificates, badges and quizzes. Administrators can use group permissions to control access to forums, clubs and pages, including paid membership tiers. Integrations include a REST API, real-time webhooks, a Zapier connection to 8,000+ apps and built-in options; developer documentation also describes GraphQL APIs with API key or OAuth authentication. The platform is available on the web, iOS, Android and as self-hosted software. Cloud customers can choose US or EU data storage depending on plan; cloud plans include TLS (HTTPS) and official support, though response times are not guaranteed. Self-hosted Classic requires a compatible server, secure PHP with GD and mbstring, and MySQL, which customers operate themselves. Classic costs $499, paid once, then 199.00 USD/year for updates. Invision Community is paid, has no free plan, and offers a 30-day trial.
