Popular online whiteboards compared on free plans, AI, meetings, creative work and price, with facts from each company’s own site.
The best Miro alternative, in short.
It depends on what your team does on the board. Here is where each one fits best, based on each company’s own site on 14 November 2026.
MockFlow
For teams that want AI that builds on the board, meetings and reviews where the work is, mini apps and games, and storyboards, designs, videos and wireframes beside the plan.
Mural
For facilitated workshops, with unlimited view-only visitors on its free plan.
FigJam
For teams whose design work already lives in Figma.
Lucidspark
For teams that pair a whiteboard with Lucidchart diagrams.
Canva Whiteboards
For teams that already design in Canva, with free and unlimited whiteboards.
Whimsical

Excalidraw
For quick hand drawn sketches, free with unlimited collaborators.
Microsoft Whiteboard
For teams that meet in Microsoft Teams and work in Microsoft 365.
Why teams look for a Miro alternative.
Miro Free keeps only the three most recent boards editable, paid plans charge for every member added to the workspace, and AI work spends a monthly allowance of credits. Many teams also find the board is only where ideas start: the graphics, videos, screens and meetings happen in other tools. An alternative is worth it when it keeps more of that work, and the people reviewing it, on one board.

How to choose a Miro alternative.
Start from the work your team does most, then check the free plan and who has to pay.
Agile teams
Sprint boards, planning poker and standups with the call on the board point to MockFlow.
Workshops
Facilitated sessions suit Mural; retros that end in voting apps and action items suit MockFlow.
Creative and marketing teams
Storyboards, posters, social posts and launch videos on one board point to MockFlow’s storyboard maker, Design frame and Video Maker.
Product designers
Teams already in Figma lean to FigJam, and specs beside flowcharts suit Whimsical; teams that want screens, flows and prototypes beside the plan lean to MockFlow’s whiteboard for designers and WireframePro.
Developers
Diagrams from your repo with your own AI agent point to MockFlow’s whiteboard for Claude Code.
Quick sketches
A fast free drawing with nothing else around it points to Excalidraw.
Diagram heavy teams
Detailed technical diagrams in Lucidchart point to Lucidspark as the whiteboard beside it. To draw them from a prompt, try MockFlow’s AI diagram generator.
Teams on Canva
