> Assuming you mean whiteboard *software* (I'll note hardware at the end), here's how I'd rank them for a small business:
> 
> **1. Miro - the default pick.** Biggest ecosystem (250+ templates, 60+ integrations), so you're not building workshop formats from scratch. Free tier gives 3 editable boards; Starter is ~$8/member/month, Business ~$16. If you have no strong reason to pick something else, pick this.

> 
> **2. FigJam - if anyone on your team uses Figma.** At ~$3/editor/month annually it's dramatically cheaper than Miro or Mural, and it's genuinely good, not a stripped-down bonus feature. The catch: its advantage mostly evaporates if you're not already a Figma shop. ([gend.co](https://www.gend.co/blog/miro-vs-figjam-vs-mural))
> 
> **3. Microsoft Whiteboard - if you're on Microsoft 365.** You're already paying for it, and it opens directly inside Teams meetings. Weaker as a standalone canvas, but "free and already in the meeting" beats "better but nobody opens it." ([Guideflow](https://www.guideflow.com/blog/best-online-whiteboards))
> 
> **4. Excalidraw - for quick, low-fric
