Miro is an infinite canvas with sticky notes, frames, voting, and timers, built for the part of a project where a group has to agree on something before anyone can start work. Workshops, journey maps, and architecture sketches all work because everyone moves the same objects at the same time, and the template library covers most facilitation formats so you are not building a board from scratch.
Who it is for
Facilitators running remote workshops and discovery sessions.
Key features
- Infinite canvas with multiplayer cursors
- Sticky notes, voting, and timers

Where it falls short
Boards get sluggish once they hold a few thousand objects, and the free plan allows three editable boards, a number any real project passes in its second week.
Pricing
Free for three editable boards; paid plans per member per month, with SSO and admin controls on the higher tiers.
Prices move; the tier structure is the part that stays true. Check current pricing on Miro.
