FigJam vs Miro

FigJam

• Teams that already design products in Figma
• Stand-ups, retrospectives and workshops run on a shared board
• Mapping user flows next to the designs they describe
• Classrooms: verified students and teachers get FigJam free

Miro

• Remote workshops, retrospectives and brainstorming sessions
• Product and engineering teams mapping processes and systems
• Teams that plan sprints on a board synced with Jira or Asana

FigJam

• FigJam cannot be bought separately; access comes with a Figma seat, and plans and seats are chosen for the whole Figma product set.
• The free Starter plan allows 3 FigJam files in its team folder and leaves out voting, open sessions, audio conversations and advanced shapes.
• Custom color palettes and organization-wide custom templates need the Organization plan, which is billed annually only.
• The iPhone and Android apps view and comment on FigJam files; on mobile, sketching in FigJam is offered on iPad only.

Miro

• On the Free plan only the 3 most recent boards stay editable, every board is open to the whole team, and there are no guest or visitor roles.
• The technical diagramming shapes, two-way integrations, SSO and AI workflows start at Business, $20 per member / month billed yearly.
• AI use is metered: 10 credits a month on Free, 25 per member on Starter and 50 per member on Business, with no rollover.
• The download page lists Mac, Windows, iOS and Android apps but no Linux app.

FigJam

Shapes and connectors

Shapes and connectors snap to the grid for mapping user flows, processes and systems. Advanced shapes for AWS, Google Cloud Platform, Azure and Kubernetes need a paid plan.

Facilitation tools

A shared timer, stamps, emotes and a built-in music player are on every plan, and Spotlight mode lets a presenter guide the group. Voting starts at Professional.

FigJam AI

A prompt generates meeting templates and visuals, and one click sorts stickies into themes or summarizes them. These draw on the AI credits included with each plan and seat.

Open sessions

On paid plans, people outside the team can be invited to contribute to a board for 24 hours without a paid seat, with no limit on the number of sessions.

Templates, widgets and plugins

More than 300 ready-made templates cover kickoffs, retrospectives, flow charts and journey maps, and community widgets and plugins extend a board.

Ties to Figma Design and Slides

Screens and components from Figma libraries can be dropped into a diagram, and an AI feature in Figma Slides drafts a deck outline from a FigJam board.

Miro

Canvas with built-in formats

Docs, tables, timelines, kanban boards and slides sit on the same board as sticky notes, shapes and drawings, and are available on every plan including Free.

Diagramming shape libraries

The Business plan adds more than 4,700 shapes for mapping technical systems, cloud infrastructure and business processes, covering Mermaid, UML, AWS and BPMN.

Facilitation tools

From the Starter plan, a timer, voting, private mode and notes support meetings and workshops. Business adds Engage activities such as polls, scales and a 2x2 matrix.

Miro AI

Generates diagrams, tables and summaries and clusters sticky notes, paid for with monthly AI credits that do not roll over. AI workflows and agents are part of Business.

MCP server

Connects Miro to AI tools such as Claude, Cursor and GitHub Copilot so board content can flow both ways. Daily call limits rise with the plan: 500 on Starter, 2,000 on Business.

Two-way integrations

On Business, items from Jira, Asana, Linear, ClickUp and Azure can be planned on the canvas with changes synced in both directions.
