The short version
If your main goal is to make an image, product diagram, floor plan, map graphic, or infographic clickable on a website, Interactive Image is the more focused choice. It keeps the workflow centered on uploading a static visual, placing precise hotspots, writing popup cards, and publishing a responsive embed.
Common Ninja Image Hotspot can still be the right choice when your project needs its broader platform strengths: teams that want many website widgets from one vendor. The decision comes down to whether you need a dedicated website hotspot tool or a larger platform around a different primary workflow.
