# Lucidchart

> Browser-based diagramming for flowcharts, org charts and systems

Lucidchart is a browser-based diagramming tool from Lucid Software for flowcharts, process maps, org charts and technical diagrams such as UML, ERD and cloud architecture. Diagrams can be drawn from shape libraries, generated from text prompts with Lucid AI, or built from data linked from Google Sheets, Excel or CSV files. Lucidspark, the company's whiteboard, has its own plans and is included with Lucidchart only on Enterprise.

## Ways to pay less

- **Lower price with annual billing** (Annual discount): Lucid's pricing FAQ says paid plans can be paid monthly or, at a saving, annually. The listed rates are the annual ones and the page does not state the size of the saving. Source: https://lucid.app/pricing/lucidchart

## Key features

- **Shape libraries for technical diagrams:** Libraries cover flowcharts, process maps, org charts, UML, ER and network diagrams, plus AWS, Azure and GCP shapes. Premium libraries need a paid plan.
- **Lucid AI:** Text prompts generate diagram content on the canvas, and AI can refine a prompt or summarize a document. Lucid AI is listed on every plan, including Free.
- **Data linking:** Connect a diagram to Google Sheets, Excel or CSV data to build visuals from the source, then use conditional formatting to highlight patterns in it.
- **Diagram from markup:** UML markup generates a sequence diagram from text, and ERD markup and diagram-as-code options let technical users edit the source instead of dragging shapes.
- **Collaboration and versioning:** Several people can edit a diagram at once and leave comments. Revision history with versioning is added on the Team plan.
- **Visio import and export:** Paid plans open and export Microsoft Visio files, and the Android app can import and view VDX, VSD, VSDM and VSDX formats.

## Good for

- Documenting processes as flowcharts and process maps
- Engineers drawing UML, ERD and cloud architecture diagrams
- Teams that embed diagrams in Confluence, Jira or Microsoft 365
- Org charts built from imported data

## Worth knowing

- The Free plan is limited to 3 editable documents and 75 shapes per document.
- The iOS app requires a Team or Enterprise subscription; Free and Individual accounts are pointed to the browser version instead.
- Revision history, the developer platform and the Microsoft 365, Confluence and Jira integrations start at Team; SAML is Enterprise only.
- The pricing page shows only annual-billing rates. Its FAQ says monthly billing is available but gives no monthly price.
