Considered Both Products	MindMeister Verified User C-Level Executive Chose MindMeister I was unaware of ClickUp at the time. I thought MindMeister would be able to solve some story telling and automation challenges the team was facing. It failed to do that and the team disbanded as a result. Helpful? Mark Firth LinkedIn Lead Generation Coach\|Inbound LinkedIn Leads\|LinkedIn Sales Coach\|Social Selling\|Closing Chose MindMeister Mindmiester is not good compared to Miro Helpful? Luciano Gardesani Marques Account Executive Chose MindMeister We found MindMeister as the most complete tool considering our needs and context of use. Other tools that we had the chance to test/evaluate offered similar features for brainstorming and log of information, but we felt MindMeister was very easy-to-use, especially thinking … Incentivized Helpful? Calum Maxwell Managing Director / Account Manager Chose MindMeister Whimsical and I highly recommend the software. Helpful? Gary Shouldis Founder & CEO Chose MindMeister We chose MindMeister as the UI seemed easier to use. We were not able to take Lucidchart for a full test drive due to the limited free plan so we opted for MindMeister in the end as it seemed to have what we needed, which it did. The collaboration features of MindMeister also … Incentivized Helpful? Miroslav Bobryshev 3D Asset Artist / 3D Generalist Chose MindMeister There are many similar programs, but I also use the Freemind open sourced program to work offline, but working collectively in it is not very convenient with this application, so we use the MindMeister. Incentivized Helpful? BM Ben McClure Head of Development Technologies Chose MindMeister Mindmeister has a good free plan compared with Lucidchart, and better Google Drive integration in my opinion. draw.io has a better free plan than MindMeister, but I prefer MindMeister for mindmap creation still, while I prefer draw.io for other types of diagrams. Xmind is … Incentivized Helpful? Sarah Ciras Rousseau High School Special Educator Chose MindMeister I have also used LucidChart and Google Draw to create mind maps and concept maps in the past. I think that MindMeister is by far the cleanest and most user friendly of the three. Google Draw does not have anywhere near the same functionality. LucidChart tends to be clunky and … Incentivized Helpful? Carlos Eduardo de Souza Co-founder & Manager Chose MindMeister I’ve tried Mindnode for Mac, but it’s a native app, so MindMeister is always accessible (as a web application) and has even more features. Incentivized Helpful? Daniel Cruz CEO Chose MindMeister I really like the Mindmeister interface. Clean, beautiful and organized. One of the factors that made me choose Mindmeiter was the direct integration with MeisterTask. It is absolutely amazing to delegate tasks to your team directly through the mind map. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Project Manager Chose MindMeister MindMeister has a better look than Freemind and is easier to use than Visio Incentivized Helpful? Chris Glandon Technical Specialist Chose MindMeister I've not used any other programs, I've been told about others, however I'm happy with MM and I always use it. Incentivized Helpful? Murilo Pinto, PMP® Product Design/Development Engineer Chose MindMeister I used to have FreeMind software, but it has very few resources compared to MindMeister. Helpful? Chip Nowacek Founder and Lead Researcher Chose MindMeister As a full graph editor, yEd needs added structure to do tree structures as well as MindMeister. FreeMind is a great tool if you work alone. It allows all sorts of customization and scripting. It is Java-based. We don't work alone. Based on FreeMind, Freeplane adds it's own … Helpful? James Carrington Chief Technology Officer (CTO) Chose MindMeister Just as mind maps are applicable to just about anybody in any field of work, MindMeister is probably the best piece of software on which to create them. SimpleMind for MC/PC is very good, if not better in terms of user experience, but it's not cloud based so sharing maps is a … Incentivized Helpful?

Likelihood to Recommend	MeisterLabs MindMeister is ideally suited for building mind maps, site maps, or similar types of data maps in the cloud without needing to install extra software. I find that it isn't quite as ideal for other types of diagrams (ERDs, flowcharts, etc) as some other tools, though it definitely can handle those things as well. Incentivized BM Ben McClure Head of Development Technologies Read full review
Pros	MeisterLabs The UI is well laid out and easy to use. The workflow makes perfect sense and makes creating tasks a breeze. The collaboration features make brainstorming not only easy but fun! Everyone enjoys using the tool, which was not the case with other collaboration software we used. I love being able to get all of my thoughts and ideas on the screen to see them and then be able to connect them in a logical way. Incentivized Gary Shouldis Founder & CEO Read full review
Cons	MeisterLabs I think that the free plan should offer a bit more terms of features to make the testing experience more engaging. My experience using the App version was not so good when compared to the web version of it. I feel more comfortable using it in my notebook. Paid plans could be more flexible to support small or temporary demands. Incentivized Luciano Gardesani Marques Account Executive Read full review
Support Rating	MeisterLabs Never had an issue with customer support, though we never really needed anything major as far as technical help. I do not believe they offer 24 hour customer support but we don't need it as MindMeister is not the type of tool we need need 24 hour a day support for. Overall, very happy with the level of support.

Alternatives Considered	MeisterLabs I have also used LucidChart and Google Draw to create mind maps and concept maps in the past. I think that MindMeister is by far the cleanest and most user friendly of the three. Google Draw does not have anywhere near the same functionality. LucidChart tends to be clunky and the options to create your map are not always clear and intuitive. Incentivized Sarah Ciras Rousseau High School Special Educator Read full review
Return on Investment	MeisterLabs The most positive result of using MindMeister is a visualization of each step in work and connections between different nodes(ideas, steps). This greatly simplifies the work, especially collaborative work, since it is easier to show it once than to explain things many times. Negative impact: lack of offline desktop version.
