Creately

Creately is a visual collaboration platform that combines diagramming, whiteboarding, and visual project/knowledge management on an infinite canvas. Teams create flowcharts, org charts, mind maps, process maps, wireframes, and other diagrams; brainstorm on whiteboards; and map out plans and workflows — all in one visual workspace with real-time collaboration. With a large template and shape library plus smart features, Creately spans the space between a pure diagram tool (like Lucidchart) and a whiteboard (like Miro), aiming to be a single visual surface for planning, mapping, and thinking together.

The platform blends diagramming with data and workflow. Drag-and-drop shapes, connectors, and 1,000+ templates make diagrams fast; a whiteboard mode supports freeform brainstorming; and — a differentiator — "smart" data-connected shapes let items carry data and notes, turning diagrams into lightweight databases and visual boards (for projects, org charts, or knowledge maps). Creately adds real-time collaboration, comments, presentation mode, integrations (Confluence, Slack, Google, and more), and AI assistance for generating diagrams. Its all-in-one visual approach suits teams that want diagrams, whiteboards, and visual work management together.

Creately serves teams that want visual collaboration for diagrams, whiteboards, and process mapping. It offers a Free plan (unlimited canvases for individuals with basic collaboration), a Personal plan around $5/month (billed annually), a Team plan around $5 per user/month (advanced collaboration and support), a Business plan around $89/month (flat rate, unlimited users, project tools, Jira/Slack integrations), and custom Enterprise (SSO/SCIM). It competes with Lucidchart, Miro, Whimsical, and Mural, differentiating on combining diagramming, whiteboarding, and data-connected visual work.
