## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-04 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> ## What I'd actually recommend, in order
> 
> **1. Miro** - The default pick for most small businesses. Biggest template library, best integrations (Slack, Jira, Zoom, Google Drive), and it's the one your clients and contractors will already know, so there's no onboarding tax. Free tier gives you 3 editable boards; paid starts around $8/user/mo. If you only try one thing, try this.
> 
> **2. FigJam** - The value play, roughly $3-5/editor/mo, and **free if you already pay for Figma**. Lighter than Miro on diagramming and integrations, but for sticky-note brainstorms, retros, and workshops it's genuinely enough. If anyone on your team is a designer, this is the obvious answer.
> 
> **3. Microsoft Whiteboard** - Costs $0 extra if you're on Microsoft 365 Business. Weakest feature set of the bunch, but it's already licensed, already SSO'd, and drops straight into Teams meetings. Check this before you buy anything.
> 
> **4. Mural** - Pick this over Miro specifically if you run *facilitated* sessions - client workshops, strategy offsites, design sprints. Its facilitation features (timers, private mode, participant corralling) are better than Miro's. Priced a bit higher, ~$10/user/mo.
> 
> **5. Excalidraw**
