Visily wins, 7.6 to 7.3
Visily's cheapest paid plan is $14 against Anima's $25, and it adds a template library plus live co-editing and comments, none of which Anima offers; Anima's invited viewers can only fork a copy to work apart. Anima instead offers an API by request for its top accounts, while Visily has no public API. Both turn a screenshot, sketch, or URL into a design, with a free plan on each side.
Pick Anima if you need API access, even if you have to request it.
Pick Visily if you want to start from a template and collaborate live with comments.
