Lucidspark vs Miro

Lucidspark

• Remote and hybrid teams running brainstorms and workshops
• Agile teams holding standups, sprint planning and retrospectives
• Organizations that already use Lucidchart for diagrams
• Teachers and students, who get a free upgrade with a school email

Miro

• Product and engineering teams mapping processes and systems
• Teams that plan sprints on a board synced with Jira or Asana

Lucidspark

• The Free plan is limited to 3 editable boards.

Miro

• 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.

Lucidspark

Infinite canvas

Boards hold sticky notes, shapes, freehand drawing, images and comments, with Gather and Sort tools to group notes after a brainstorm.

Visual Activities

Interactive exercises collect input from a group and turn it into results the team can act on. Basic activities are free; premium ones need a paid plan.

Facilitation tools

Team plans add voting, a timer, a laser pointer, facilitator controls and the option to call everyone to one spot. Breakout boards are Enterprise only.

Lucid AI

AI generates ideas, sorts notes into themes and summarizes a session. It is listed on every plan, with a note that it may move to a paid model later.

Lucid Cards and Dynamic Table

Lucid Cards work with task tools such as Jira and Azure DevOps to turn ideas into next steps, and Dynamic Table organizes ideas for visual planning.

Mind maps and templates

A mind map can be added to any board in a few clicks, and the template gallery covers retrospectives, sprint planning, roadmaps, SWOT analysis and more.

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.
