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

Pick MindMup if

• Fits if you want a plain mind map on the web and a free start
• Works for a class that opens a map by Guest Pass without logins

Look elsewhere if

• Tight if you stay free, with 3 maps and view-only sharing
• Watch out: real-time collaboration is marked coming soon on the pricing page
• Watch out: the AI credits are marked coming soon too
• Watch out: only annual prices were readable, and Team and Organization seat rules are not stated
• Skip it if you want a desktop or phone app, as the desktop app is marked coming soon

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

MindMup

Mind map layouts

Standard mind maps, org charts, fishbone diagrams and argument visualization, with styling controls for maps and nodes.

Notes and sticky notes

Notes attach to nodes for outlines and drafts, and the text can be exported to another editor.

Sharing and publishing

Maps can be shared with members or teams, published as interactive maps, or opened to a class with a Guest Pass that needs no login.

Presentation mode

A map turns into a presentation in one click. The free plan adds a watermark.

Version history and restore

The comparison lists version history, restoring deleted maps for 30 days and manual backup and restore.

Google Drive and SSO

Maps can be stored in Google Drive, and organizations can use Google or Microsoft sign-on.

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.
