Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.0
GPA, above 8 of the 98 other whiteboard and mind map tools we grade
Klaxoon is a visual collaboration platform built around whiteboard-style boards, dot-voting and questions, and timed facilitation for meetings and training sessions. The site now carries the name Klaxoon by Wrike, and the vendor sells it alone or bundled with Wrike's work management product. Plans separate full Pro users from limited-rights Audience participants.

The report card
Best for facilitated workshops with voting and a timer
Klaxoon is a board for meetings and workshops, with dot voting, a timer and a facilitator who can sync everyone's screen. Starter is $24.90 a month for up to 4 Pro users, the free plan allows one open activity, and the vendor is rebranding it as Klaxoon by Wrike.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | D | $24.90 a host a month billed annually for up to 4 Pro users sits at the start of the category's dearest tenth. One person pays all of it, and 5 or more users go to a sales quote. |
| Free plan and trial | C | The free plan is 1 open activity, 5 contributors per activity, 50 ideas per board and 500 MB. The page calls it a trial with limited access. |
| Features | C | Boards, voting, questions, a timer and screen sync. Gaps the listing shows: 200-plus templates and co-facilitation need Starter, and Jira sync too. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. You set up each activity yourself. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web only, with Microsoft Teams, Google Workspace, Wrike and Jira listed. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Klaxoon is for
- Fits if you run workshops and want voting and a facilitator view
- Works for a team already on Wrike, Teams or Jira
Who it is not for
- Pricey if you are one person, since Starter starts at $24.90 a month
- Tight if you stay free, with 1 open activity and 50 ideas per board
- Watch out: Starter covers 1 to 4 Pro users, and 5 or more needs Enterprise with no public price
- Watch out: Klaxoon says paid amounts are not refunded unless the law requires it
- Skip it if you want a desktop or phone app, as none is named
Good to know
Good for
- Trainers and facilitators running voting and question activities in sessions
- Small teams with a few power users and many occasional contributors
- Organizations that need a choice between EMEA and US data centers
Worth knowing
- Starter covers 1 to 4 Pro users; a larger group needs Enterprise, which starts at 5 Pro users and has no public price.
- The Free plan allows one open activity and 5 contributors per activity.
- Klaxoon says amounts already paid are not refunded unless the law requires it.
- The pages read name no desktop or mobile apps, and the vendor is rebranding the product as Klaxoon by Wrike.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
The plain part of Klaxoon you could make: templates and mind mapping. What surrounds it you could not. The 4 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
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 $298.80 a year.
What you could make
- Templates and mind mapping: 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.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- People on the other end: facilitators. No app builder makes those.
What this rests on. Klaxoon’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.
