Category: Visual Collaboration / WhiteboardVerified for 2025
Top Recommended Replacements
Excalidraw
FREEBest for Developers & Sketching
Why we like it
100% free and open-source; features a unique hand-drawn aesthetic that makes diagrams feel approachable; end-to-end encrypted; supports real-time collaboration with zero login required for guests; extremely lightweight and fast.
Keep in mind
Lacks complex project management features like Kanban or deep Jira syncing; template library is much smaller than Miro's.
FigJam (by Figma)
FREEBest for Product Teams
Why we like it
The most modern alternative; free tier is generous (3 files); seamless integration with Figma; features fun widgets, stamps, and 'high-fives' that increase team engagement; much cheaper than Miro Business at $5/user for the 'Professional' tier.
Keep in mind
Requires a Figma account; infinite canvas can occasionally lag on very old hardware with massive files.
Microsoft Whiteboard
Best for Corporate / M365
Why we like it
If your company already pays for Microsoft 365, this is effectively 'free'; deeply integrated into Microsoft Teams; supports collaborative cursors, sticky notes, and reaction icons; data stays within your existing security perimeter.
Keep in mind
Less 'creative' than Miro or FigJam; fewer advanced diagramming shortcuts.
Witeboard
FREEBest for Quick Syncs
Why we like it
Zero friction; no accounts, no logins, no setup; just open the link and share the URL to start drawing; includes basic shape detection (turns shaky circles into perfect ones).
Keep in mind
No persistent storage or advanced organizational folders; strictly for temporary sessions.
Collaboard
FREEBest for Security/GDPR
Why we like it
Based in Switzerland; offers a self-hosted (On-Premises) version for teams with extreme privacy needs; highly secure and fully GDPR compliant; generous free tier for basic workshopping.
Keep in mind
UI is more 'industrial' and less fluid than Miro or FigJam.
