Miro vs Excalidraw

Fit:

Migration notes

Sketching and diagramming alternative for simpler whiteboards. Excalidraw supports its own JSON and image exports; no native lossless Miro import verified. Miro integrations/facilitation workflows require separate review.

What you may give up

  • Excalidraw+ comments, presentations and PDF/PPTX frame export
  • Excalidraw+ workspace access management and team organization

Tier C: MIT editor and app source are available. Commercial Plus adds workflow features as well as cloud persistence; cloud storage alone is not the reason for C. Self-host collaboration requires separately configured backend services. License source

What running it takes

  • Browser and static web/client hosting

Hover or focus an icon for its name. Dashed means not established; struck through means no; grouped icons are alternatives.

Client/library can operate locally or as static site. Official Docker self-host image lacks default sharing/collaboration; room backend is separate. Do not imply commercial Plus is included in self-hosted editor. Infrastructure and staff time are not priced here; this page does not compare total cost.
