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 Mural if
- Fits if you run workshops, retros or design-thinking sessions and need the group to follow you
- Works for large groups, as Free has no member limit, though only 3 murals stay editable
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you're staying free, with only 3 murals editable at a time and view-only visitors
- Skip it if you want the AI without paying, as Mural AI starts at Team+, $9.99 a member a month
- Pricey if you need SSO or ongoing guests, which start at Business, $17.99 a member a month billed annually only
- Watch out: SCIM, audit logs and data residency are Enterprise only, which has no public price
- Too light for docs, tables or slides on the board, which Miro has and Mural doesn't

| 2.0GPAKlaxoonFair | 2.6GPAMuralGood | |
|---|---|---|
| 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. | CTeam+ is $9.99 a member a month billed annually, $12 if you pay monthly, which is right at the dear end of normal here: this category's dearer quarter starts at $9.99. SSO and ongoing guests wait for Business at $17.99, annual billing only. |
| 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 has unlimited members and every facilitation tool. But only 3 murals are editable at a time, visitors can look and not edit, and Mural AI isn't in it at all. |
| Features | CBoards, voting, questions, a timer and screen sync.

Mural AI clusters stickies and draws mind maps. The whiteboard job covered, without Miro's docs, tables and slide formats. |
| Ease of use | CNo store rating on record. You set up each activity yourself. | CNo store rating on record, and this is a web board where the work is building the board: you start from a blank canvas or pick through 250-plus templates and set the session up yourself.

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.
