Mural vs Miro
Both are per-member whiteboards with a free plan limited to three editable boards, and both are American. Miro is the larger product, with more than 7,000 templates and a wide set of paid features. Mural is narrower and built for facilitated workshops, and it separates one-time visitors from ongoing guests in a way that decides who pays.
Sebastiaan SmitsFounderVendors can pay for visibility on this site; it never changes what we say about a product. How that works.
Choose Mural ifyou run workshops where participants join once, want visitors with editing rights on the cheapest paid plan, and do not need a very large template library.
Choose Miro ifyou want the largest template library and integrations, need visitor editing and high-resolution export from a lower paid plan, and will pay per member.

External people
Mural gives every plan visitors for one-time access, and ongoing guests only on Business and Enterprise. Miro lists unlimited signed-in guests on Business at $20, and visitor editing from Starter. If clients come back each week, compare Business to Business: Mural is $17.99, Miro $20.

Size of the product
Miro advertises more than 7,000 templates and over 250 integrations in our data, with AI credits per member each month. Mural is narrower and aimed at facilitators. That breadth is also Miro's risk: easy to adopt, expensive to roll out to everyone at per-member prices.
Edge: Miro
- 05
Enterprise terms
Miro Enterprise requires at least 30 members and a quote. Mural Enterprise is a quote, with SCIM, audit logs and data residency options listed. Neither publishes a price, and neither is a European company in our data.
