Mural

Mural is a visual collaboration platform and digital whiteboard where distributed teams brainstorm, plan, and solve problems together on an infinite canvas. Teams use sticky notes, shapes, connectors, drawings, and images to run brainstorms, retrospectives, design sprints, journey maps, and workshops — replicating (and improving on) in-person whiteboard sessions for remote and hybrid work. Its emphasis on facilitation, templates, and structured methods makes it a favorite for design thinking, agile ceremonies, and cross-functional workshops.

Beyond a blank canvas, Mural is built for guided collaboration. A large library of templates and frameworks jump-starts sessions; facilitation superpowers — timers, voting, private mode, "summon" to bring everyone to a spot, and cursor tracking — keep workshops focused and inclusive; and features like Facilitation and integrations with Microsoft Teams, Zoom, and productivity tools embed Mural in existing workflows. It also adds AI to help generate and cluster ideas, and enterprise-grade security and admin controls for large organizations standardizing on visual collaboration.

Mural serves product, design, agile, and cross-functional teams at companies of all sizes, especially remote and hybrid ones. It offers a Free plan (unlimited members, limited murals), a Team+ plan around $9.99–$12 per member/month, a Business plan around $20 per member/month (adding SSO, advanced facilitation, and admin controls), and custom Enterprise pricing, with discounts on annual and volume commitments. It competes with Miro, Lucidspark, FigJam, and Microsoft Whiteboard, differentiating on facilitation depth and structured workshop methods.
