Best for a German-hosted whiteboard with tasks and meeting tools
Conceptboard is a browser whiteboard hosted in German data centres, with tasks on the board and facilitation tools for meetings. The free plan stops at 3 boards, prices are in euros without a stated billing basis, and single sign-on costs extra even on the top plan.
Who Conceptboard is for
- Fits if your company needs data kept in German data centres
- Works for meetings that need voting, a timer and tasks on the same board
Who Conceptboard is not for
- Tight if you stay free, because 3 active boards and 100 objects per board is the cap
- Watch out: single sign-on is listed as an extra fee even on Corporate and Government
- Watch out: the page does not say whether the euro prices are billed monthly or yearly
- Watch out: Advanced carries a 12-month contract from 10 users, and Corporate a 24-month contract from 100
- Skip it if you want a desktop or phone app, as none is named
Why Conceptboard gets a 2.2
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for money5 euros per user a month is about the category's cheaper quarter of $5, a little above it once converted, and the page does not say whether that is monthly or annual. Advanced is 10 euros.
- CFree plan and trialThe free plan gives 3 active boards, 100 objects per board and 250 MB. A 30-day trial of Starter and Advanced is also listed.
- CFeaturesBoards, 150-plus templates, tasks with assignees, voting and a timer. Gaps the listing shows: board history and approvals need Advanced, and single sign-on is an extra fee.
- CEase of useNo store rating on record. You build the boards yourself.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb only, with Microsoft Teams, Webex and Jira integrations listed. No desktop or phone app is named.

Keep Conceptboard, or make your own?
Keep it
The plain part of Conceptboard you could make: templates, tasks and kanban boards. What surrounds it you could not. The 3 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 37 of the 61 other whiteboard and mind map tools grade higher. It costs $67.03 a year.
What you could make
- Templates, tasks and kanban boards: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- An endless canvas that stays smooth with hundreds of things on it.
- Several people working in it at the same moment.
- What a company asks for before it lets staff use something: single sign-on and audit logs.
What this rests on. Conceptboard’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.
