Lino is a web service for posting sticky notes, photos and videos on shared canvases, with email reminders on due dates. The homepage calls it free, but its Premium page wouldn't load, so we can't say what it limits or costs, and it's a sticky-note canvas rather than a drawing whiteboard. - **Value for money: C.** The homepage calls it a free service, but the Premium page didn't load, so paid prices aren't on record. - **Free plan and trial: C.** Described as free on the homepage, but its free limits couldn't be read. - **Features: C.** Sticky notes, photos, videos, files, groups and due-date emails.

The category's chart of price against score: https://toolgpa.com/charts/whiteboards ## Keep it, or make your own? **Keep it.** The plain part of Lino you could make: notes. What surrounds it you could not. The 2 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. - You could make: Notes: an app builder makes this well. - You could not: Storing and serving files for other people. - You could not: Several people working in it at the same moment.
