## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-24 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Here's what I'd actually recommend, in order:
> 
> **1. Miro - the default pick for most small businesses.** It's the most mature and flexible of the bunch: infinite canvas, huge template library, solid integrations (Slack, Jira, Google Drive, Zoom), and good AI features. Free tier gives you 3 editable boards, paid starts around $8/member/month (Starter) and $16 (Business). If you have no strong reason to pick something else, pick this - the ecosystem and the fact that clients and contractors already know it matter more than feature checklists.
> 
> **2. Check what you already pay for first.** Genuinely the highest-ROI move before you buy anything:
> - **Microsoft Whiteboard** - free with Microsoft 365, integrates straight into Teams and OneNote. If you're a Microsoft shop, this covers basic brainstorming and meeting boards at zero marginal cost.
> - **FigJam** - included with a Figma seat, or $3/editor/month standalone. Absurdly cheap for what it is, and the best option if anyone on your team already designs in Figma.
> - **Apple Freeform** - free on Mac/iPad/iPhone. Fine for an all-Apple team doing informal sketching.
> 
> **3. Excalidraw - for quick, throwaway diagrams.** Free, open source, no ac
