Keep EdrawMind, or make your own?
Keep it
The plain part of EdrawMind you could make: mind mapping and templates. What surrounds it you could not. The 5 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
It costs $53.10 a year.
What you could make
- Mind mapping and templates: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- A diagram editor.
- A slide editor.
- Apps for macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS and Android that stay in step with each other.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. EdrawMind’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.
