MindGenius vs Mindomo (2026): which should you pick?

Pick MindGenius if

• Fits if you plan projects as maps and want them as tasks and a timeline
• Works for a small team that wants guests to join a project

Look elsewhere if

• Pricey if you are one person, at $160 a year against the category's usual yearly price
• Tight after the trial: the free fallback is a single project
• Watch out: the Windows desktop version is separate and licensed on its own
• Watch out: volume prices apply only to annual billing from 11 seats
• Watch out: dollar prices come from a currency switch, because the page opens in pounds

Pick Mindomo if

• Fits if you teach or study and want mind maps inside Moodle, Canvas or Google Classroom
• Works for offline use on Windows, macOS or Linux with a sync later

Look elsewhere if

• Tight if you're staying free, because 3 diagrams and 1 AI credit is the limit and you can't print
• Skip it if you want to pay month by month, as plans are prepaid for six months or a year
• Pricey if you're on your own and need Gantt charts, since that means Professional at $16 a month
• Watch out: Team and Business need at least 3 users, and SAML SSO and audit logs are Business only
• Watch out: free exports only come out in Mindomo and text formats

MindGenius

• Dollar prices come from the page's USD currency switch; the page opens in pounds.

Mindomo

• The Free plan stops at 3 diagrams and 1 AI credit, cannot print, and exports only to Mindomo and text formats.
• Gantt charts are not in Premium; they need the Professional, Team or Business plan.
• Plans are prepaid for six months or a year and do not renew automatically; there is no month-to-month billing.
• Team and Business require at least 3 users, and SAML SSO and audit logs are limited to Business.

MindGenius

Mind maps

Ideas, assumptions, risks and open questions are laid out as a map before any work is committed.

Taskboard and Timeline views

The same project can be shown as a map, a task board or a timeline, and all three are part of the single subscription.

Needs Attention

A cross-project view that collects whatever is slipping across all projects. The vendor lists it as Online-only.

Microsoft Teams and guests

A Microsoft Teams integration and guest access let people outside the account take part in a project.

Volume pricing

Annual plans drop to $144 per seat at 11 to 25 seats, $120 at 26 to 50 and $80 at 51 to 100.

Mindomo

Several diagram types

Mind maps, concept maps, org charts, timelines, fishbone diagrams, outlines and Gantt charts, with a switch that turns a mind map into an outline or back.

Mindomo AI

AI generates a map from a prompt, expands topics, adds notes, builds pros-and-cons or SWOT analyses and translates diagrams. Each action uses credits from a monthly allowance.

Real-time collaboration

Multiple users co-edit a diagram, chat and comment, with view-only, edit or copy permissions. Version history replays changes and restores earlier versions.

Tasks and Gantt charts

Topics become tasks with assignees, start and due dates, priorities and progress, and tasks sync to calendars through iCal. Gantt view needs Professional, Team or Business.

Offline desktop apps

Mindomo Desktop for Windows, macOS and Linux edits diagrams without a connection and saves them locally, with optional sync to the cloud.

Presenter mode and exports

A diagram can be presented as a slideshow, and paid plans export to PDF, Word, PowerPoint, Excel, Microsoft Project, Markdown and other formats.
