## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-09 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> ## My picks, in order
> 
> **1. 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.
> 
> **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.
> 
> **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. Not as deep as Mir
