Best for flowcharts typed as text
Flowchart Fun draws a flowchart as you type it as text. The free plan is a sandbox that resets every day, permanent charts, AI and file import need Pro at $2 a month, and it only runs in a browser.
Who Flowchart Fun is for
- Fits if you would rather type a diagram than drag boxes
- Works for quick process charts that you export as an image
Who Flowchart Fun is not for
- Tight if you stay free, because the editor resets each day
- Skip it if you want a drag-and-drop whiteboard, as this is a text editor
- Watch out: AI creation, watermark-free export, local files and data import are all Pro
- Watch out: the page does not say how the $2 a month is billed
- Skip it if you want a desktop or phone app, as none is listed
Why Flowchart Fun gets a 2.4
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- AValue for moneyPro is $2 a month, under 60% of the category's cheaper quarter ($5), though the page does not say whether that is billed monthly or yearly. A 30-day pass is $9.
- CFree plan and trialThe free plan is a daily sandbox that resets each day, so nothing you make is kept. It exports PNG, JPG and SVG with a watermark.
- CFeaturesIt does one job fully: text in, flowchart or mind map out. That is a smaller job than a whiteboard, and AI, local files and imports sit on Pro.
- CEase of useNo store rating on record. You have to learn to write charts as text.
- CPlatforms and integrationsWeb only, with Visio and Lucidchart file import and no apps.

Keep Flowchart Fun, or make your own?
Keep it
The plain part of Flowchart Fun you could make: mind mapping. What surrounds it you could not. The 2 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
It costs $24 a year. Flowchart Fun is open source, so there is a third way: take its code and run it yourself.
What you could make
- Mind mapping: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- A diagram editor.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. Flowchart Fun’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.
