Page-based tools generally also have a choice of different transitions between screens, like fade in, slide in from the right, slide up from below, etc. You tap a button somewhere on one screen to go to another screen. In a page-based tool, you lay out different screens, and then you make hotspots or buttons to connect them together. The majority of tools only let you connect static pages, while only the more complex ones let you animate different objects or layers within a given page.

Why did I select these eight? I discovered that recreating something that is this animation-heavy (icons moving around in different directions and at different speeds) is not even possible in most prototyping packages. See how these recreations behave compared to the real thing: I recreated the IF by IFTTT user onboarding in eight different high-fidelity prototyping tools to get an idea of the differences between them: Proto.io, Pixate, Framer, Facebook’s Origami, RelativeWave’s Form, Principle, Flinto for Mac and Tumult Hype 3.
