Lucidchart is the most balanced diagramming tool on this list for teams that draw a mix of flowcharts, process maps and architecture diagrams. The free plan is a sampler: 3 editable documents, 75 shapes per document and 100 templates, though it already includes basic data linking, commenting and presentation mode. Individual, at $9 per month billed yearly, removes the document and object limits and adds Visio import and export, premium shape libraries and 1 GB of storage. Team, at $10 per user per month billed yearly, is the plan most groups need, because it adds revision history with versioning, Call others to me, password protected publishing and integrations with Microsoft 365, Confluence, Jira, LeanIX and Ardoq. Enterprise adds team hubs, SAML, sharing restrictions, Salesforce integration and Lucidspark for whiteboarding. The trade-offs are a tight free tier and a trial that needs a card, so plan a short evaluation.
