About Miro
Miro is the leading online collaborative whiteboard platform, enabling distributed teams to brainstorm, plan, design, and workshop together in real-time on an infinite visual canvas. Founded in 2011 in Perm, Russia (now headquartered in San Francisco), Miro has grown to over 60 million users across 200,000+ organizations including Netflix, Twitter, Spotify, and 99% of the Fortune 100. The platform's infinite canvas supports sticky notes, shapes, connectors, images, embedded documents, video, and over 1,000 pre-built templates for workshops, sprint planning, customer journey mapping, org charts, and more. Miro's strength is making remote collaboration feel as natural as an in-person whiteboard session — multiple users can see and interact with the same board simultaneously. Integrations with Jira, Confluence, Asana, Slack, Figma, and Microsoft Teams make Miro a central hub for team workshops. Miro AI can generate diagrams, summarize boards, and create content from prompts. The free plan allows 3 editable boards. Starter is $8/member/month and Business is $16/member/month with unlimited boards and advanced collaboration features.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Miro free?
Miro has a free plan with 3 editable boards and unlimited viewers — enough for small teams or occasional use. Starter is $8/member/month for unlimited boards, Miro AI, and visitor access. Business is $16/member/month adding private boards, custom templates, and advanced security. Enterprise pricing is custom.
What is Miro used for?
Miro is used for remote brainstorming, sprint planning and retrospectives, customer journey mapping, product roadmap visualization, org chart creation, design thinking workshops, mind mapping, wireframing, and any collaborative session where a visual shared space helps teams think together. It's particularly popular for agile ceremonies in distributed teams.
Miro vs FigJam: which is better?
Miro is better for business teams running workshops, planning sessions, and cross-functional collaboration — its template library and structured workshop features are superior. FigJam is better for design teams already in the Figma ecosystem who want a whiteboard tightly integrated with their design files. Miro has more features; FigJam is simpler and better for design-adjacent work.
