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.
• The download page lists Mac, Windows, iOS and Android apps but no Linux app.

Stormboard

• The Personal plan allows 5 open Storms with 5 users each, and Microsoft Office and Google Drive files are view-only on it.
• Substorms, idea grouping, folders, and the Word, PowerPoint, Excel and Google reports all need the Business plan.
• SAML single sign-on, audit logs and the Surface Hub app are Enterprise-only, and StormAI on Business is a 30-day trial before an Enterprise upgrade.
• The vendor lists apps for Windows, iOS and Android but no Mac app, and describes the phone app as a companion with limited features.

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.

Stormboard

Storms built from sticky notes

A workspace, called a Storm, holds text, image, video, file and whiteboard sticky notes on an infinite canvas divided into sections. Index card notes open a Substorm on paid plans.

Templates and section types

More than 250 templates are included. On Business and Enterprise, a section can become a calendar, spreadsheet or matrix, and customized templates can be saved for reuse.

Reports and exports

A Storm exports as an editable Word, PowerPoint or Excel report, or as Google Docs, Slides or Sheets. These need Business; Personal has word cloud, votes and tasks exports.

Two-way agile integrations

Integrations with Jira, Rally and Azure DevOps mirror changes made in Stormboard back to the tracker, for backlog and sprint planning and for showing dependencies.

Voting, tasks and timer

Participants can vote on ideas, comment, and assign a task to a sticky note, and an assigned-tasks report lists owners and due dates. A timer is included on every plan.

StormAI

StormAI builds a template from a stated goal, suggests ideas, and summarizes sticky notes or groups them by theme or sentiment. Business customers get a 30-day trial of it.
