## The answer, as recorded

> # Best digital whiteboards for remote teams
> 
> **1. Miro** - The default recommendation and the industry standard. Infinite canvas, 2,500+ community templates, strong diagramming, and 100+ integrations. It's the one most likely to already be in use at a company you partner with, which matters for cross-org workshops. Starter ~$8/member/mo annually, Business ~$20.
> 
> **2. FigJam (Figma)** - Where I'd actually start most teams. It's playful, fast to learn, and covers roughly 80% of what people need from a whiteboard. Free tier allows 3 files; Professional is ~$3/editor/mo - and if you already pay for Figma, it's effectively free. Best if designers are involved, since feedback flows straight into Figma files.
> 
> **3. Mural** - Pick this if your remote work is *facilitated workshops* rather than ad-hoc sketching. Built-in timers, timed voting, private mode for silent ideation, and enterprise governance are better than Miro's. Team+ ~$9.99/member/mo, Business ~$17.99.
> 
> **4. Microsoft Whiteboard** - The pragmatic choice if you're on Microsoft 365: it's already paid for and sits inside Teams meetings. Weaker than the three above, but zero procurement friction.
> 
> **5. Excalidraw** - Best free opt
