Great article Scott!

As a former user of Axure and current user of iRise, I think the price point discussions are appropriate and highly necessary. As a solo practitioner in-house, where most everything I did was viewed as 100% overhead, Axure did what I needed it to do and it did it well. The price point at purchase was around $500. We also were not doing a lot of work with RIA’s.

Now that I’m back in the consulting world, I’m fortunate to have access to iRise. It’s much more robust than Axure. My view is that it is the enterprise level equivalent and Axure is more of the smaller shop version.

There are things I could do in Axure that I cannot do in iRise and vice versa. I would imagine that convergence of these tools or the features of these tools will be something to watch in the future.
