Whimsical
A shared whiteboard for product diagrams, flows, mind maps, and early wireframes.
About Whimsical
Whimsical is a collaborative whiteboard for product builders working with diagrams, flowcharts, mind maps, and low-fidelity wireframes. Teams edit boards together in real time, leave comments next to the work, begin with templates, add images or embedded video, and restore earlier versions when needed. Whimsical AI generates diagrams, assists with brainstorming, and organizes information. The free tier works for personal projects and small evaluations, although team-board, upload, and version-history limits can become restrictive. Pro removes the team-board cap and adds private teams. Business is intended for organizations that require SAML SSO, SCIM, tighter security controls, and formal support.

Choose Free for light use when three team boards and a seven-day history are sufficient.
