Ayoa combines mind mapping with whiteboards, task boards and Gantt views, so a brainstorm can turn into a schedule in the same app. Ayoa Ultimate adds AI that generates mind maps and whiteboards on a topic, document, outline and presentation modes, importers with AI summaries, exports to documents, PDFs and images, and Google and Microsoft integrations. The app is built with support for dyslexia, ADHD and autism, and in the UK it is available through the Access to Work scheme. The developer, OpenGenius, says it holds ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification. A 7-day trial unlocks everything, after which the free version keeps up to 10 mind maps for personal use, with whiteboards and task boards turned view-only and AI removed. On the US App Store, Ayoa Ultimate costs $17 a month or $155.99 a year, the highest price here, which pulls its value score down.
