Miro** - The default pick, and the one I'd start with if you don't have a strong reason otherwise. Deepest template library (2,500+), the widest integration set (Slack, Jira, Teams, Google Drive, Notion), and it scales from a two-person sticky-note session to a full quarterly planning board. Free tier gives you 3 boards with real collaboration, which is genuinely enough to evaluate it. Paid starts around $8/user/mo (Starter) and $16 (Business). The catch: the 3-board free cap bites fast, and it's the priciest of the mainstream options once you're paying.\n\n**2. FigJam (Figma)** - Best value by a wide margin at ~$3/editor/mo annually ($5 monthly), and it's bundled free if anyone on your team already has Figma Professional. Lighter than Miro but covers 90% of what a small team actually does: brainstorms, retros, flowcharts, workshops. This is my pick if cost is the deciding factor or you have any design work in-house.\n\n**3. Microsoft Whiteboard** - If you're already paying for Microsoft 365, this is free and already installed.
