   draw.io vs Miro Comments

   not a whiteboard app to collaborate online, but a diagram drawing tool

   Comment by EpicLPer · Oct 12, 2022

   While it isn't the same as Miro (and tbh no other tool comes as close to what Miro does so far) but it's a good "start" which is fully free. Collaboration via Google Drive/Workspace works fine, but again not a proper Miro replacement but the best we got so far.

   Excalidraw vs Miro Comments

   Top Positive Comment by Oleg Lavrovsky · Oct 9, 2024

   Takes security seriously, sleek and minimal design, a delightful product that does exactly what it promises to do.

   Positive comment by BarnMTB · Apr 3, 2024

   Incredible alternative, works very well. It even saves whiteboard as a local file.

   But unfortunately if you like the convenience of auto-saves, or storing the files "inside the app itself" so that next time you can just launch the app & select the thumbnail in a couple of clicks without needing to touch File Explorer (like Miro), you're going to need the Excalidraw+ subscription; which has a pricing that is just overkill for personal/hobbyist use.

   Positive comment by KrullTheWarriorKing · Mar 23, 2022

   Click and play : Simple and encrypted.

   Also, it is open-source and can be installed on your server.

    Mindmapping only, no whiteboard like Miro that I could see

    Negative comment by Guest · Mar 31, 2020

    Irt's only for mindmapping

    Positive comment by Guest · Sep 20, 2020

    Interface that goes along the same lines as Miro. Also a whiteboard, that can be made as collaborative with teams or private, personal ones.
