Considered Both Products	FigJam Verified User Anonymous Chose FigJam It is similar, but it provides more usable solutions for brainstorming sessions and presentation purposes. Now empowered with AI and some new cool stuff, it may be the most dangerous competitor to FigJam. However, it will win the race if FigJam is more responsive and gets more … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose FigJam FigJam works best in pair with Figma, as it allows you to keep track of your project in one place, supporting all phases of the process. The functionality is more intuitive, quick, and efficient. Visually, I also prefer it more —it’s more enjoyable and playful, making the … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose FigJam Microsoft Whiteboards are better, in my opinion, but not friendly with Figma files (can't export layered assets, raster only). Better in the sense that the drawing and and marker tools felt more natural and the AI features are just better, like auto-shapes, vs. FigJam's … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose FigJam Positive: FigJam is cheaper than Miro and allows connecting with FigJam, where we design our user interfaces. FigJam is more complete and visually appealing than draw.io, although draw.io is free. FigJam allows calls, which both competitors do not. Negative: Miro has … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose FigJam If Sketch was on Windows with an app on par with their Mac app, I would never even look at FigJam. Sketch has local work sorted, accessible and scaleable, good collaborative features, and accessibility features, too. It feels modern and polished, with actual files you can … Incentivized Helpful? RL Rogelio Leal UX/UI Designer Chose FigJam I feel like Figjam is great at at what it does. It provides a great overall place to be able to use a virtual whiteboard and help teams collaborate. Especially remote teams. It actually does it better than others. There are some tools such as Invision Freehand that at the … Incentivized Helpful?	Lua Verified User Anonymous Chose Lua We chose Lua because of their price point and feature set compared to other tools. Incentivized Helpful?

User Testimonials
	FigJam	Lua
Likelihood to Recommend	FigJam is perfect for the early stages of a project, where every member from cross-functional teams can participate, because it’s intuitive and has a very low entry barrier. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	I wouldn't recommend Lua because they were recently acquired by another company and will be shutting down. It was unfortunate that we were only given 2 months notice right after signing up for another 1-year term. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	One file, auto updated, no need to get latest Easy to preview Lack of client is benefit to some (not me) Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	It is easy to communicate in real-time. Easy to set up different groups. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	love to see it kept feature light ... already seeing the little creeping features like timing clocks, AI help, etc ... Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	The application for iPad is not optimized. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Usability	I don't use it often, because the organization I work in uses a different environment on a commo basis. This is rather used between the designers, who prototype the solutions in Figma - they just have it as a workbook/notebook for their ideas. However, if those need to be shared with stakeholders or other organization members, the designers are expected to use a different environment.

Alternatives Considered	It is similar, but it provides more usable solutions for brainstorming sessions and presentation purposes. Now empowered with AI and some new cool stuff, it may be the most dangerous competitor to FigJam. However, it will win the race if FigJam is more responsive and gets more attached to Figma, where the prototyping takes place. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	We chose Lua because of their price point and feature set compared to other tools. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Return on Investment	It helps us conduct design tests faster, saving designers time specially because its easy to interact with FigJam It helps discuss ideas faster It helps us share ideas with partners more effectively Verified User Anonymous Read full review	It has been great for communication and broadcasts, its a shame that they are closing down.
