FigJam is a collaborative whiteboard from Figma for brainstorming, diagramming, and workshops. It handles whiteboard, sticky notes, voting, and widgets, and it's best suited for figma users wanting collaborative brainstorming and diagramming. It has been around since 2021, giving it a 5-year head start in building out integrations and refining the product.
The free plan is free for 3 figjam files — enough for most people to evaluate whether it fits.
pros
- Infinite whiteboard canvas for brainstorming and visual thinking
- Sticky notes and drawing tools make remote workshops feel hands-on
- Free for 3 FigJam files — generous enough for most small teams to get real work done
- Includes voting alongside the core feature set — fewer separate tools needed
cons
- Free plan exists but key features are locked behind the paid upgrade
- Fewer built-in features means you may need additional tools to cover gaps
- Ecosystem of third-party integrations is smaller than the market leaders in diagramming
- Relatively new (founded 2021) — the feature set and integrations are still maturing
