Miro** - The default answer, and for good reason. Infinite canvas, the deepest template library (retros, journey maps, story mapping), the best integrations (Jira, Slack, Teams, Zoom), and it scales from two people sketching to 100-person workshops without falling over. AI features now cluster sticky notes and summarize sessions. It's the one your new hires will already know how to use. Downside: ~$10+/editor/month, and the upgrade pressure comes from admin/governance features rather than whiteboarding itself.\n\n**2. FigJam** - Best value by a wide margin if you have any design presence. Roughly $5/editor versus Miro's $10, and effectively free if you're already paying for Figma seats. \"Open sessions\" let guests join for 24 hours with no login, which is genuinely great for client workshops. Lighter on templates and enterprise controls, but for most teams under ~50 that's not a real loss.\n\n**3. Microsoft Whiteboard** - If you're a Microsoft 365 shop, start here before paying for anything. It's included, it lives inside Teams meetings, and the friction of \"yet another login\" disappears.
