Our Take
It's a digital whiteboard where teams drag sticky notes around and draw diagrams together. Think replacing your conference room whiteboard for remote teams.
Deep Dive & Reality Check
Used For
- +**Your team spends 4-6 hours prepping meeting slides every week** → Build interactive boards once, reuse them, cut prep to 15 minutes
- +**Sprint planning takes 3 hours because everyone's talking over Zoom with no visuals** → Map dependencies on one board, get it down to 45 minutes
- +**Client workshops are chaos with people shouting ideas into the void** → Real-time sticky notes and voting, everyone contributes simultaneously
- +PowerPoint import turns static decks into interactive boards in 5 minutes
- +AI Flows automate repetitive tasks like moving completed sticky notes to "Done" columns
Best For
- >Remote teams drowning in scattered Google Docs and Slack threads for brainstorming
- >Design and product teams tired of emailing PowerPoint decks back and forth 50 times
- >Workshop facilitators who need something better than Zoom's clunky whiteboard feature
Not For
- -Teams under 10 people — you'll hit the 3-board limit immediately and waste money on unused seats at $8/user
- -Pure developers or data teams — too visual, you'll go back to Jira or spreadsheets within a month
- -Anyone wanting simple project management — this is for visual thinkers, not task trackers
Pairs With
- *Jira (syncs tasks from your visual boards to actual development tickets)
- *Slack (where board notifications go and people complain about too many Miro links)
- *Zoom (for the actual meetings where you're screen-sharing your board)
- *Google Workspace (imports docs and sheets directly onto boards)
- *Asana (connects project tasks to your visual planning boards)
- *Adobe Express (built-in image editing so you don't need another tool for quick crops)
The Catch
- !Free tier's 3-board limit fills up after your second workshop — you'll be deleting old work mid-project
- !Boards with 200+ sticky notes freeze on mobile, and there's zero offline mode (flight = lost work)
- !Business tier limits you to 3 editable guests per board, so client workshops cost extra or you downgrade everyone to viewers
Bottom Line
The infinite whiteboard that'll make you miss actual Post-it notes after you hit the 3-board limit on the free plan.
