Miro** - the default pick for most small businesses. It's the most complete infinite-canvas tool: brainstorming, diagrams, workshops, roadmaps, plus a huge template library and integrations with basically everything (Slack, Jira, Google Drive, Zoom). The free plan gives you 3 boards with unlimited collaborators, which genuinely covers a very small team; Starter is ~$8/user/month annually for unlimited boards and custom templates, Business ~$16 for guest access and SSO. The upgrade path is driven by admin/governance needs, not by locking away core whiteboarding - which is the right shape for a small company.\n\n**2. FigJam (Figma)** - the pick if anyone on your team already uses Figma, and a strong pick even if not. It's lighter and faster to learn than Miro, cheaper per seat, and has \"open sessions\" that let people join for 24 hours without an account - great for client workshops where you don't want to make a customer sign up for anything. Less powerful for complex diagramming.\n\n**3. Microsoft Whiteboard** - if you're on Microsoft 365, it's already paid for. Free, simple, integrated into Teams meetings.
