Whimsical review

Whimsical keeps boards and docs in one workspace, which suits teams that turn flowcharts and mind maps into written plans. The free plan is open in some ways and tight in others. It allows unlimited boards, unlimited workspace members, unlimited guests and 10 AI credits per member, and Whimsical says viewers are always free. But you can only create 50 board objects and 50 doc blocks a month, exports carry a watermark and version history covers 7 days. For an occasional diagram that is enough; for a weekly team brainstorm it runs out quickly. Pro costs $10 per editor per month billed annually and removes the object and block limits, removes the watermark and extends version history to 90 days. Business at $20 adds private teams, SAML single sign-on and SCIM. Because the free tier meters content rather than boards, Whimsical works better as a trial of a paid tool than as a long-term free whiteboard.
