Worth knowing
Graph Commons
- Paid plan prices could not be read; the pricing page did not load, so the site lists none.

- Most AI actions use 10 credits, and Starter's 100 credits are a one-time grant.
- It maps relationships and is not a general whiteboard for sketching or sticky notes.
InfraNodus
- It analyzes text rather than offering a freehand canvas or sticky notes, so it is not a drop-in board.
- The free account is capped at 3 graphs in total and limited analytics.
- Prices are shown in euros and exclude VAT for private EU customers.
- The Basic plan is for personal and academic use; commercial use starts at Advanced.

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
