Miro** - The default pick, and what I'd suggest if you don't want to think hard about it. The biggest canvas ecosystem: thousands of templates, the deepest integration list (Jira, Asana, Slack, Zoom, Teams), and solid enterprise governance. It's the one most likely to already be known by a new hire or an outside collaborator, which matters a lot for a remote team. Free tier gets you 3 editable boards; paid starts around $8-10/user/month.\n\n**2. FigJam (Figma)** - If any part of your team already lives in Figma, stop here. It's the cheapest serious option (~$3-5/editor/month), fast and pleasant to use, and jumping between a FigJam session and the actual design file is seamless. Weaker than Miro on templates, workshop facilitation, and project-management-style use.\n\n**3. Mural** - The facilitator's tool. Built around running structured workshops - timers, private mode for silent voting, \"summon participants,\" outline-driven sessions. If you do a lot of real workshops (design sprints, retros, strategy offsites) rather than passive always-on boards, Mural is better at it than Miro.
