Unlimited canvases, real-time collaboration, and every leading AI image and video model on the same board. The canvas is free with no board cap. You pay only when you generate, from $19/month.
No card required. Free canvases don't expire.
Miro's free plan caps you at 3 editable boards. Its paid plans bill per member, so a 10-person team on Business runs $200 a month before anyone generates a single image. And Miro AI works against a metered credit allowance (10 per team per month on free, 25-50 per member on paid tiers) that produces whiteboard-grade images, not production creative.
For workshops and diagramming, that trade can still be worth it. For moodboards, campaign boards, and creative direction, you are paying per seat for sticky-note tooling you don't use, and the AI you actually want lives in a different product anyway.

Generation is the paid part: running Veo 3.1, Kling v3, Nano Banana Pro, and the rest of the roster requires a plan, from $19/month for 1,000 credits with rollover. See pricing for the full breakdown.
Honest answer: if your boards are made of sticky notes, votes, and flowcharts, keep Miro or switch to FigJam. 8frame has none of that tooling and isn't building toward facilitation. Come here when the work on the board is visual: references, generated images, video, and the direction that turns them into shipped creative.
The canvas is. Registration is free, you can create unlimited canvases, upload your own images and video, invite collaborators, and work together in real time with no board cap and no time limit. What costs money is AI generation: running the image and video models requires a plan, from $19/month for 1,000 credits. If you never generate, you never pay.
