Miro - the default pick for most small businesses.** It's the most complete and most widely used, so clients and contractors already know how to use it. The free plan gives you 3 boards with unlimited collaborators - genuinely enough for a small team that whiteboards occasionally. Starter is $8/member/month annually ($10 monthly) for unlimited boards, custom templates, and unlimited visitors. Business jumps to $16/member annually ($20 monthly), but that tier is mostly about SSO and admin governance - things a 5-person shop doesn't need. Start free, upgrade to Starter only when you hit the 3-board wall. ([Miro pricing breakdown](https://www.banani.co/blog/miro-pricing), [Lark's plan comparison](https://www.larksuite.com/en_us/blog/miro-pricing))\n\n**2. Canva Whiteboards - best if your team is non-technical.** Rated easiest to use in the collaborative whiteboard category, with a free tier. If you're already using Canva for social posts and marketing collateral, the whiteboard is just another doc type, so there's no new tool to buy or train anyone on. Weakest for anything resembling systems diagramming. ([G", "answer_truncated": true, "measurement": "One answer from one engine on one date.
