Which one is for you
Pick Klaxoon if
- Fits if you run workshops and want voting and a facilitator view
- Works for a team already on Wrike, Teams or Jira
Look elsewhere if
- Pricey if you are one person, since Starter starts at $24.90 a month
- Tight if you stay free, with 1 open activity and 50 ideas per board
- Watch out: Starter covers 1 to 4 Pro users, and 5 or more needs Enterprise with no public price
- Watch out: Klaxoon says paid amounts are not refunded unless the law requires it
- Skip it if you want a desktop or phone app, as none is named
Pick Miro if
- Fits if you run remote workshops, retrospectives and brainstorms with a whole team
- Works for product and engineering people mapping a process or a system together
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you're never paying, since only your 3 most recent boards stay editable and there are no guests
- Pricey if you need the technical diagram shapes, Jira sync or SSO, which start at $20 a member on Business
- Not for you if you lean on AI all day, as credits are metered monthly and don't roll over
- Watch out: on Free every board is open to the whole team, and Enterprise starts at 30 members
- Skip it if you're on Linux and want a desktop app, as none is listed
How we grade them
| 2.0GPAKlaxoonFair | 3.0GPAMiroVery good | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | D$24.90 a host a month billed annually for up to 4 Pro users sits at the start of the category's dearest tenth. One person pays all of it, and 5 or more users go to a sales quote. | CStarter is $8 a member a month billed yearly, which is squarely in the middle of this category: the cheaper quarter starts at $5.00 and the dearer quarter at $9.99. The 4,700 technical shapes and two-way Jira sync are Business at $20. |
| Free plan and trial | CThe free plan is 1 open activity, 5 contributors per activity, 50 ideas per board and 500 MB. The page calls it a trial with limited access. | CFree gives you unlimited team members, templates and the Docs, Tables, Slides and Kanban formats. But only your 3 most recent boards stay editable, every board is open to the whole team, there are no guest or visitor roles, and AI is 10 credits a month. |
| Features | CBoards, voting, questions, a timer and screen sync. Gaps the listing shows: 200-plus templates and co-facilitation need Starter, and Jira sync too. | AThe whole job, plus a set the other boards here don't have: docs, tables, timelines, kanban boards and slides are formats of their own on the same canvas as the sticky notes, on every plan including free. Paid adds a timer, voting, AI that draws diagrams and clusters notes, and 4,700 UML, AWS and BPMN shapes. |
| Ease of use | CNo store rating on record. You set up each activity yourself. | B4.69 on the App Store from 5,812 ratings, a whisker under the 4.7 an A asks for. There are templates for workshops, and anyone who has ever stuck a note on a wall knows the basics. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb only, with Microsoft Teams, Google Workspace, Wrike and Jira listed. | AWeb, Mac, Windows, iPhone and Android, so every device type, and 250+ integrations including Jira, Confluence, Slack, Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, plus an API.

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.
