## Key features

- **Text-to-network graphs:** Paste text or upload files and words become nodes in a graph, grouped into topical clusters that you can filter and explore.
- **Content gap analysis:** The analytics panel points out topics that are weakly connected in your text and suggests questions to bridge them.
- **AI summaries and chat:** AI tools summarize the visible statements or the essential ones, and generate ideas that link disconnected topics. Limits depend on the plan.
- **Data imports:** Pull in Google, YouTube and Amazon review results, RSS feeds and uploaded TXT, MD, JSON, CSV and PDF files. Quotas rise with each plan.
- **Exports:** Export graph images as PNG or SVG, statements as CSV or Markdown, and graph data as JSON, CSV or Gexf for Gephi.
- **Extension, plugin and MCP server:** A Chrome and Firefox extension and an Obsidian graph view plugin come with paid plans; an MCP server connects graphs to AI tools.

## Good for

- Researchers and analysts mapping themes in interviews, reviews or articles
- SEO and content teams looking for topic gaps
- Obsidian users who want a graph view of their notes

## Worth knowing

- It analyzes text rather than offering a freehand canvas or sticky notes, so it is not a drop-in board.
- The free account is capped at 3 graphs in total and limited analytics.
- Prices are shown in euros and exclude VAT for private EU customers.
- The Basic plan is for personal and academic use; commercial use starts at Advanced.

## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 2.0 out of 4**, graded Nov 13, 2026. InfraNodus turns text into a network graph and uses AI to summarise it and point at gaps in the ideas. It is an analysis tool, not a board, and Basic at €12 a month is for personal and academic use only, so work use starts at €32.

- **Value for money: D.** Basic is €12 a month billed annually and covers personal and academic use only. Commercial use starts at Advanced, €32 a month, well above the $8.25 middle.
- **Free plan and trial: C.** Free account keeps 3 graphs in total, with limited analytics, 20 AI credits an hour and 3 AI chats. Every paid plan has a 14-day trial.
- **Features: C.** Text-to-graph, content gap analysis, AI chat, imports and exports. The listing says it analyses text and offers no freehand canvas or sticky notes.
- **Ease of use: C.** No store rating on record. You have to learn how to read a text network.
- **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web and a browser extension, with Obsidian, Chrome, Firefox, Gephi, n8n and Claude. No desktop or phone app.

## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** To replace InfraNodus you would be making a library of papers and sources to search. 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 $160.88 a year.

- You could make: Mind mapping: an app builder makes this well.
- You could not: A library of papers and sources to search.
- You could not: It plugs into other products, Obsidian, Chrome and Firefox among them, and has an API.
- You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.

A judgement by ToolGPA from this listing, by rules that are the same for every tool. Nothing was built to test it.
