Miro started as a whiteboard but now has a full diagramming toolset, which makes it a good fit when diagrams grow out of workshops. Its diagram builder includes more than 2,000 shapes across UML, Kubernetes and Google Cloud, layers for multi-level diagrams, custom shape packs and AI that turns a text prompt into a flowchart, UML, ER diagram or process map. You can import existing work from Visio, draw.io and Lucidchart, or paste Mermaid and PlantUML code through apps. The free plan creates unlimited boards, but only the 3 most recent stay editable. Starter, at $8 per member per month billed yearly, adds unlimited private boards, visitor editing and high-resolution exports, plus 25 AI credits per member each month. Business, at $20, adds unlimited guests and private workspaces. Miro is less suited to strict notations and offline work than Visio, and large boards can feel busy for people who only need a clean diagram.
Who it is for
Product and engineering teams that brainstorm, diagram and plan on the same board.
Price
Free plan with 3 editable boards; Starter $8 per member per month and Business $20 per member per month, billed yearly.
Starter For small teams collaborating regularly with unlimited boards $ 8 /month per member, billed yearly
