Considered Both Products	Whimsical Vincent Po MD & Head of Global Marketing Chose Whimsical ClickUp's mind mapping tool was very basic and hard to use from my perspective. Whimsical was by far easier and did what I wanted for a SaaS/cloud-based mind mapping tool. Xmind is fine as a desktop app, but updating the app was a pain whereas, with Whimsical I don't have to … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Strategist Chose Whimsical Miro has a slight edge in UI but Whimsical is not far behind. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Project Manager Chose Whimsical I like the wireframing/web mockups a little better in Whimsical. I still do use Miro for some other uses (simple sprints/onboarding exercises). Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Partner Chose Whimsical Whimsical is so much easier and has a better interface, so I think it's more suited to our workflow if compared to other tools like Google Charts. I really love this tool and I'm looking to learn and use it even more, as it helps us optimize our time, planning, and delivering … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Analyst Chose Whimsical Whimsical is much easier to learn than Lucidchart. We had coworkers up and running on Whimsical with little to no training. It's intuitive and just makes sense and it never freezes or times out, unlike some other tools we've used in the past. The monthly cost is also … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Team Lead Chose Whimsical Whimsical nails early stage project exploration. Whether it’s mapping, wire-framing, or simply whiteboard collaboration, Whimsical provide a flexible toolset that puts you and your team in the correct mindset to explore ideas without feeling committed to a specific direction. … Incentivized Helpful? Sarah Littlefield Chief Strategy Officer (CSO), UX design Chose Whimsical I've tried a few different services similar to Whimsical, and like the simplicity of Whimsical - as it's very easy to learn how to use and begin creating. The price is also better than a lot of competitors. There are quite a few options for creating wireframes, flowcharts and … Incentivized Helpful? Brianne Matthias Member Services Administrator Chose Whimsical Whimsical has a flexible interface and a more cost-friendly plan than Lucidchart. Whimsical allows you all the room to create whatever comes to mind in one space, whereas with other products, you have to create a separate document to use the different functions. Other apps like … Incentivized Helpful? Andrea Hester Director Of Operations Chose Whimsical Whimsical is simpler and easier to use than InVision.

User Testimonials
	Whimsical
Likelihood to Recommend	Whimsical It's extremely well-suited for rapid wire-framing of concepts, as product teams can quickly collaborate on any idea and create a visual blueprint of it. Whimsical could provide more intuitive feature prioritization templates. The current templates lack the necessary detail and could be further enhanced from a UI/UX standpoint.

Pros	Whimsical Simple to use Tons of uses Can be customized with themeing Can organize all your boards pretty much however you want Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	Whimsical It can be a little frustrating trying to line things up exactly right but that's probably more user error than anything Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Usability	Whimsical It's fairly intuitive, I rarely have any problems using the app. The layout is pretty user-friendly and easy to adapt to. There's a lot of tooltips to help with the various features and functions, so it's very easy to get self-help for the most part. Overally, I'm pretty happy and satisfied with the usage of Whimsical for mind-mapping. Incentivized Vincent Po MD & Head of Global Marketing Read full review
Support Rating	Whimsical I reached out to support, as I was interested in possibly investing in the organization, and they quickly and happily informed me they are a bootstrap organization and do not take on investors at this time. The swift response and information readily available for my consumption was extremely helpful and shows how solid the team behind it is.

Return on Investment	Whimsical No hard numbers I can quote. Other than the free plan has been adequate for my needs. It's my go to mind mapping tool. Incentivized Vincent Po MD & Head of Global Marketing Read full review
