> # Best digital whiteboards for small businesses
> 
> **1. Miro** - the default pick. Infinite canvas, the deepest template library, and integrations with basically everything (Slack, Teams, Zoom, Jira, Notion). It scales from a two-person sketch to a 50-person workshop. Free plan gives you 3 editable boards with unlimited members, which is genuinely enough for an occasional-use small team; Starter is $8/user/mo billed annually, Business $16/user/mo. Pick this unless you have a specific reason not to.
> 
> **2. FigJam (Figma)** - the best value, and the obvious choice if anyone on your team already uses Figma. Around $0-5/user/mo, which makes it dramatically cheaper than Miro or Mural at scale (one comparison found a 25-seat team saves ~$550/yr vs Mural). Lighter than Miro on enterprise features, but for brainstorming, retros, and flow sketching it's as good or better.
> 
> **3. Canva Whiteboards** - best if your business is marketing-, client-, or design-flavored. Unusually generous free tier, and the advantage is that a whiteboard session flows straight into a deck, social post, or one-pager without changing tools. If you're already paying for Canva, you already own this.

> **4. Lucidspark (+
