About Mural

Mural is a digital whiteboard that grew up around design thinking and facilitated workshops, and it remains one of the strongest tools for running structured sessions. Facilitators get timers, voting, private mode, summon participants, outline-based step-by-step sessions, and controls to lock content, alongside an infinite canvas with sticky notes, shapes, diagrams and a big template library. Mural AI can cluster ideas, summarise and suggest content. It has a close partnership with Microsoft, with deep Teams integration and apps for Surface Hub and interactive displays. The free plan allows unlimited members with three editable murals; Team+ and Business plans are priced per member and add unlimited murals, guests, SSO and advanced integrations, while Enterprise adds governance. It works in the browser and has apps for iOS, Android, Windows and macOS. Its interface is more structured and less freeform than Miro's, which some find limiting for casual use, but facilitators often prefer it.

Best for: Facilitators and organisations running structured workshops, especially on Microsoft Teams.
