Biggest canvas ecosystem, deepest integrations (Jira, Confluence, Slack, Zoom), huge template library, and it scales from a two-person sketch to enterprise governance. If you don't have a specific reason to pick something else, pick this. Free tier covers 3 editable boards.\n\n**2. FigJam** - if your team already lives in Figma.
