Keep BitPaper, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace BitPaper you would be making video calls. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 76 of the 98 other whiteboard and mind map tools grade higher. It costs $180 a year.
What you could not
- Video calls.
- An endless canvas that stays smooth with hundreds of things on it.
- Several people working in it at the same moment.
- An API that other software can build on.
What this rests on. BitPaper’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
What is BitPaper?
BitPaper is a browser-based collaborative whiteboard used for tutoring, teaching and remote work. A shared paper has multiple pages and unlimited space, accepts imported documents and images, and exports to PDF, with audio, video, chat and screen sharing available in the same session.
Worth knowing
- The free plan cannot create papers or calls; it only joins existing ones.
- If a paid plan is cancelled, existing papers stay but become read-only.
- Company accounts pay $1.00 per paper and $0.20 per call hour on top of $50 per month.
- BitPaper runs in a browser; no desktop or mobile app is listed on the pages read.
Key features
- Multi-page papers

- Document and image import
- PDFs and images can be dragged onto a paper, then moved, resized and exported with the work drawn on top as a PDF.
- Audio, video and screen share
- Calls with chat and screen sharing run inside the paper, so a lesson or meeting needs no separate conferencing tool.
- Keyboard shortcuts
- Drawing tools can be switched with keyboard shortcuts, which the vendor highlights for speed.
- API and white-labelling
- The Company plan adds API access and white-labelling for organizations that embed the whiteboard in their own service.
