## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-02 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> ## Short answer, in the order I'd actually recommend them
> 
> **1. Miro** - The default pick, and what I'd recommend if you don't want to think about it. Biggest template library, best facilitation tooling (timers, voting, private mode for silent brainstorms), and it integrates with basically everything (Slack, Teams, Jira, Asana, Google Drive). Free tier gives you 3 editable boards - genuinely enough for a 3-5 person shop that whiteboards occasionally. Paid is ~$8/user/mo (Starter) and ~$16 (Business) annually. Downside: the per-seat cost adds up fast, and it's more tool than most small businesses need.
> 
> **2. FigJam (Figma)** - Best value by a wide margin. ~$5/editor/mo, free tier with 3 files, and it's **free with any Figma paid seat** you already have. Lighter and faster to learn than Miro, excellent for brainstorming, sticky-note sessions, and simple flows. If you have any design work in-house, this is a no-brainer.
> 
> **3. Microsoft Whiteboard** - If you're on Microsoft 365, you're already paying for it. Zero marginal cost, works inside Teams meetings natively. It's noticeably less capable than Miro/FigJam (weak templates, clunkier canvas), but "free and already integrated" beats "
