A side-by-side comparison of Miro and FigJam for teams choosing a digital whiteboard tool, covering pricing, features, and which one fits your workflow.
Updated 2026-09 · 2026
Miro
Visual collaboration platform for teams, workshops, and diagramming at scale
Strengths
- +Massive template library (workshops, retros, roadmaps, diagrams)
- +Deep integrations: Jira, Asana, Slack, Google Workspace, Zoom
- +Stronger for large-scale org charts, flowcharts, and structured diagramming
Weaknesses
- -Gets expensive fast as team size grows
- -Can feel heavier/slower with very large boards
- -Free plan limits you to 3 editable boards
Best for
Cross-functional teams running workshops, agile ceremonies, and process mapping across departments
FigJam
Collaborative digital whiteboard for teams to brainstorm, design, and work together in real-time
Strengths
- +Tight integration with Figma design files — great for product/design teams
- +Cheaper per-seat pricing than Miro at every paid tier
- +Simpler, faster interface with less learning curve
Weaknesses
- -Fewer built-in templates for non-design workflows (org-wide process mapping, etc.)
- -Fewer third-party integrations compared to Miro
- -Less suited for teams that don't already use Figma
Best for
Design and product teams already in Figma who want lightweight brainstorming and collaboration without switching tools
Feature Comparison
| Feature | ||
|---|---|---|
| Free plan | 3 editable boards, limited features | Unlimited FigJam files, some feature limits |
| Entry paid tier price | $8/member/month (annual) | $3/editor/month (annual) |
| Template library | Extensive (1000+ templates) | Solid but smaller, design-focused |
| Native integrations | Jira, Asana, Slack, Zoom, Google Workspace, MS Teams | Figma (native), Slack, Jira, Notion |
| Design tool integration | Third-party plugin only | Native, seamless with Figma files |
| Diagramming (flowcharts, org charts) | Strong, dedicated diagramming tools | Basic, improving over time |
| Real-time collaboration | Yes | Yes |
| Enterprise security (SSO, audit logs) | Yes (Enterprise plan) | Yes (Enterprise plan) |
| Ease of onboarding | Moderate learning curve | Very easy, minimal onboarding |
| Voting/timer/facilitation tools | Yes | Yes |
| Offline/desktop app | Yes | Yes (via Figma desktop app) |
The Verdict
If your team already lives in Figma, FigJam is the obvious and cheaper choice — it's tightly integrated and good enough for most brainstorming and lightweight planning. Miro wins for larger cross-functional teams that need heavy-duty diagramming, a huge template library, and integrations beyond design tools, but you'll pay significantly more per seat for it.
How to switch from Miro to FigJam
- 1Export each Miro board individually using Export As (PDF, PNG, or CSV) since there's no bulk export option for full board data.
- 2Import exported images/PDFs into FigJam as reference layers, then manually rebuild sticky notes, shapes, and diagrams using FigJam's native tools since there's no direct file conversion.
- 3Recreate any Jira, Asana, or Slack automations tied to your Miro boards using FigJam's supported integrations (Slack, Jira, Notion) or accept you'll need a manual workaround for unsupported tools.
- 4Set up your team's workspace in Figma/FigJam, inviting members and assigning editor vs viewer seats to match your new plan tier.
- 5Run a parallel period where active projects exist in both tools, then archive Miro boards read-only once your team confirms FigJam covers their workflow.
- 6Cancel or downgrade your Miro subscription once historical boards are exported and your team has fully transitioned.
Miro vs FigJam: common questions
How do I export my boards from Miro before switching to FigJam?+
In Miro, open each board and use Export As, which supports PDF, PNG, JPG, and CSV (for some board types). There's no bulk board export or direct Miro-to-FigJam import, so you'll need to export boards individually and recreate them manually or as image references in FigJam.
What features do I lose moving from Miro to FigJan?+
You'll lose Miro's larger template library, its more advanced diagramming and flowchart tools, and integrations with tools like Jira, Asana, and MS Teams that FigJam doesn't natively support. You'll also lose Miro's more mature facilitation features for large workshops with hundreds of participants.
Is FigJam's free plan enough for a small team?+
Yes, for a small team doing basic brainstorming and planning, FigJam's free Starter plan (unlimited files with some feature caps) is usually sufficient. If you need version history, private projects, or more advanced widgets, you'll need the Professional tier at $3/editor/month.
Does FigJam integrate with the same tools as Miro?+
No — FigJam's integration list is smaller and centers around Slack, Jira, and Notion, plus native Figma file linking. If your workflow depends on deep Jira/Asana automation or Zoom/Teams embedding like Miro offers, you'll need to check those specific integrations before switching.
Is FigJam actually cheaper than Miro long-term?+
Yes, at every paid tier FigJam is cheaper per seat — $3/editor/month vs Miro's $8/member/month at the entry level, and the gap widens at higher tiers. For a 20-person team, that's roughly $60/month vs $160/month, a meaningful difference over a year.
