Miro** - The default pick for most remote teams. The deepest whiteboarding feature set, the biggest template library, and by far the largest integration ecosystem (Jira, Slack, Teams, Zoom, Confluence, Azure DevOps). Its canvas stays responsive with a lot of people and objects on it, which is where cheaper tools fall apart. Free tier gives you 3 editable boards; paid starts around $8-10/user/month. Downside: the sheer surface area can overwhelm people who just want sticky notes.\n\n**2. FigJam** - The obvious choice if your team already pays for Figma. It's included or nearly free alongside existing Figma seats, it's fast and genuinely pleasant to use, and the handoff from a messy brainstorm to real design work in Figma is seamless. Lighter on process features than Miro or Mural, so it's better for ideation than for running formal ceremonies.\n\n**3. Mural** - Pick this if someone on your team *facilitates* sessions rather than just opens a board. The facilitator controls are the best in the category: timers, voting, private mode (everyone adds notes without seeing others' first, which kills groupth", "answer_truncated": true, "measurement": "One answer from one engine on one date.
