Miro** - the default recommendation. It's the most complete option: infinite canvas, huge template library (retros, roadmaps, customer journey maps), solid AI features, and integrations with basically everything (Slack, Teams, Jira, Zoom, Asana). The free plan gives you 3 editable boards, which is genuinely enough for a small team that whiteboards occasionally. Paid tiers (Starter → Business) step up mainly for admin/security controls rather than core whiteboarding, so small businesses rarely need to go past Starter. Downside: the breadth can feel heavy if all you want is a sketchpad.\n\n**2. FigJam (Figma)** - the best value, especially if anyone on your team already uses Figma. It's lightweight, fast to learn, and fun to run a meeting in; pricing is roughly $3-5 per editor/month, which undercuts almost everyone. Pick this if you want \"whiteboard for workshops and brainstorms\" and not a second project-management tool.\n\n**3. Microsoft Whiteboard** - if you're already paying for Microsoft 365, use this before buying anything. It's included, works natively inside Teams meetings, and covers the basics (sticky notes, templates, inking) well.
