How we grade them
| 2.4GPALucidsparkFair | 2.2GPAMockFlowFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CIndividual is $9 a month billed annually and Team $10 a user, which is the dearer half of this category without being extreme. Watch which one you need, though: voting, the timer, guests and revision history all start at Team, and the page quotes no monthly rate at all. | CPlus is $9 an editor a month billed yearly, near the $8.25 middle. Max is $14. |
| Free plan and trial | CFree forever with unlimited shapes per board, freehand drawing, commenting, presentation mode and Lucid AI. The wall is the board count: 3 editable boards, which is a fortnight of retros. The 7-day trial of the paid plans asks for payment details at sign-up. | CBasic is free for one editor with 4 projects, 200 items a board and 100 AI credits a month. It is for personal and nonprofit use, and may be closed after 60 days without a sign-in. |
| Features | BThe whiteboard job is covered: sticky notes, shapes, freehand drawing and mind maps on an infinite canvas, Gather and Sort to tidy up afterwards, Visual Activities to collect a group's input, and AI that sorts notes into themes. Voting, timers and facilitator controls wait for Team. | CWhiteboard, wireframes, AI, workshop tools, automations and developer access. The listing shows the desktop app, SSO and Figma export are limited to Max. |
| Ease of use | CNo rating on record. The template gallery covers retros, sprint planning and roadmaps, so you're not facing a blank board, but this is still a workshop you set up: boards to build, people to invite, and the facilitation tools sitting on a higher plan. | CNo store rating on record. Building boards and wireframes is a learning curve. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb, iPhone and Android, with Slack, Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Google Meet, Jira and Confluence hooked up and a developer platform from Team. There's no desktop app at all, and the iOS app needs a Team or Enterprise subscription. | BWeb, Mac and Windows apps, and a browser extension, with Slack, Jira, Teams and Figma. No phone app listed. |

More comparisons
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.
