Miro is a online collaborative whiteboard platform for brainstorming, planning, and design. It handles whiteboards, templates, sticky notes, and diagramming, and it's best suited for teams that need visual collaboration and whiteboarding. It has been around since 2011, giving it a 15-year head start in building out integrations and refining the product.
The free plan offers 3 free boards. Paid plans start at $8/user/mo, which unlocks the full feature set.
pros
- Includes Whiteboards as a core feature, purpose-built for design workflows
- Huge template library covers social media, presentations, marketing materials, and more
- 3 free boards — generous enough for most small teams to get real work done
- Established product with 15+ years on the market and a mature ecosystem
cons
- Free plan exists but key features are locked behind the paid upgrade
- Feature-rich interface takes time to learn — not the simplest option for quick adoption
- Output quality depends on your design skills — templates only go so far
- Mobile experience lags behind the desktop version in features and polish
