## The answer, as recorded

> Assuming you mean collaborative whiteboard *software* (not a physical smart display - I'll note those at the end):
> 
> **1. Miro** - My default recommendation. It's the category benchmark: biggest template library, best integrations (Slack, Teams, Jira, Zoom), and the most likely tool a contractor or client already knows, so onboarding cost is near zero. Free tier gives you 3 editable boards, paid starts around $8/member/month. For a small business, the free plan genuinely works until you need board #4.
> 
> **2. FigJam (Figma)** - Best price-to-capability ratio at roughly $3-5 per editor/month, and free for a small team. Lighter and faster than Miro, with a nicer feel for brainstorming, diagramming, and workshops. Obvious pick if anyone on your team already uses Figma, since it's bundled into the same account.
> 
> **3. Microsoft Whiteboard** - If you're already paying for Microsoft 365, this is free and already provisioned. It's noticeably less powerful than Miro or FigJam, but for quick sketching inside a Teams call, the zero extra cost and zero procurement friction usually beats a better tool nobody buys.
> 
> **4. Mural** - Miro's closest competitor, stronger on structured facilitation (time
