FigJam vs Miro

Choose FigJam if…

• Product and design teams already using Figma who want a friendly shared whiteboard
• Included with Figma seats; cheap Collab seat for others
• Approachable, playful interface

Choose Miro if…

• Teams running workshops and planning sessions that need the broadest template and integration library
• You need Android, which FigJam doesn't list
• Huge template library and facilitation tools
• Integrates with most work tools

What is FigJam?

FigJam is Figma's whiteboard, built for brainstorming, diagramming, retrospectives and meetings with a playful, approachable style. It has sticky notes, shapes and connectors, stamps and emotes, sections, tables, timers and voting, plus widgets and plugins from the Figma community. AI tools can generate templates, sort stickies and summarise ideas. Because it shares Figma's file system, design teams can paste frames from Figma files, link to them and discuss work in the same place. FigJam is included with every Figma seat, and Figma's Collab seat gives non-designers access to FigJam and Slides at a low monthly price; the free Starter plan offers limited access. Open sessions let anyone join a board for a day without signing in. It runs in the browser and Figma's desktop apps, and there is a FigJam app for iPad. Its structure and facilitation tools are lighter than Miro's or Mural's for large workshops, but for product teams already in Figma it is the obvious choice.

What is Miro?

Miro is the default online whiteboard for many companies, used for brainstorming, workshops, retrospectives, journey maps, roadmaps and diagramming on an infinite canvas. Boards combine sticky notes, shapes, frames, tables, docs, kanban cards, timelines and slides, and a huge template library covers most workshop formats. Facilitation tools such as timers, voting and private mode help run sessions, and AI features can cluster notes, summarise boards or generate diagrams. Miro integrates with Jira, Asana, Confluence, Microsoft Teams, Slack, Zoom and many others. The free plan lets you keep three editable boards; paid plans priced per member add unlimited boards, private boards, guests, version history and higher-resolution exports, and enterprise plans add SSO and governance controls. It works in the browser and has desktop apps for Mac and Windows plus mobile apps for iOS and Android. The breadth can make it feel busy, and costs add up across large teams, but it is the safe choice for cross-team visual collaboration.
