Miro — Free for three editable boards with unlimited members — and paid tiers now metered on AI credits and MCP calls as well as seats.
Short answer: Miro is a collaborative whiteboard platform. Free provides 3 editable boards with unlimited members, 10 trial AI credits and 100 MCP calls a day. Starter is $8 per member a month billed yearly with unlimited private boards, 25 AI credits per member and 500 daily MCP calls. Business is $20 per member yearly with 50 AI credits, 2,000 MCP calls, two-way integrations, full AI workflows and SSO. Enterprise is custom from 30 members.

Verdict at a glance
Overall rating: 4.0/5 ★★★★☆
Standout: Unlimited members on the free plan. Miro caps boards rather than people, so a whole team can collaborate at no cost within three boards.
Watch out: Paid tiers now meter AI credits and MCP calls per member alongside seats, so heavy AI use can push you up a tier for reasons unrelated to headcount.
Miro is the default collaborative whiteboard and has been for years, and its pricing has grown a second dimension worth understanding. The Free plan provides 3 editable boards with unlimited members — capping boards rather than people, which lets a whole team collaborate at no cost provided they work within three canvases — plus 10 trial AI credits and 100 MCP calls a day. Starter is $8 per member a month billed yearly, a 20% saving against monthly, with unlimited private boards, 25 AI credits per member and 500 daily MCP calls. Business is $20 per member yearly and adds 50 AI credits per member, 2,000 daily MCP calls, two-way integrations with Jira, Asana and Linear, full access to AI workflows and agents, and SSO and SAML. Enterprise is custom-priced from a 30-member minimum with 2,500-plus AI credits and 10,000 daily MCP calls. The new dimension is that AI credits and MCP calls are now metered per member alongside seats, so a team using AI workflows heavily can be pushed toward Business for capacity reasons rather than headcount ones. That is a reasonable way to price AI, but it means the seat count no longer tells you which tier you need — model AI usage separately.

Overview
Miro is an infinite collaborative canvas used for workshops, planning, diagramming and mapping, and its adoption rests largely on how immediately people understand it. Its free plan reflects a sensible decision: it caps editable boards at three rather than capping people, so unlimited members can collaborate at no cost provided the work fits within three canvases. That is the opposite of how most collaboration tools structure free tiers, and it means a whole team can be in the tool from day one.
Paid tiers are billed per member yearly, with a 20% saving against monthly billing. Starter is $8 a member and provides unlimited and private boards, 25 AI credits per member monthly, 500 MCP calls a day and limited two-way integrations. Business is $20 a member and adds 50 AI credits per member, 2,000 daily MCP calls, full two-way integrations with Jira, Asana and Linear, complete access to AI workflows and agents, and SSO and SAML. Enterprise is custom-priced from a minimum of 30 members, with custom AI credits from 2,500 and 10,000 daily MCP calls.
The development worth noting is that Miro now meters AI credits and MCP calls per member alongside seats — a second pricing dimension that did not previously exist. Free provides only 10 trial AI credits and 100 daily MCP calls; Starter provides 25 credits per member and 500 calls; Business provides 50 credits and 2,000 calls with full AI workflow and agent access rather than trial-only. The practical consequence is that seat count no longer determines your tier on its own. A ten-person team using AI workflows heavily can be pushed to Business for capacity reasons entirely unrelated to headcount, and a thirty-person team using AI barely at all may sit comfortably on Starter. Model AI credit and MCP consumption separately from seats before choosing, because the two variables now move independently.

| Plan | Price | Includes |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | ⭐ 3 editable boards · unlimited members · 10 trial AI credits · 100 MCP calls a day · no private boards |
| Starter | $8 per member per month, billed yearly | Unlimited and private boards · 25 AI credits per member · 500 MCP calls a day · limited two-way integrations · roughly $10 billed monthly |
| Business | $20 per member per month, billed yearly | 50 AI credits per member · 2,000 MCP calls a day · full two-way integrations with Jira, Asana and Linear · full AI workflows and agents · SSO and SAML · roughly $25 billed monthly |

⭐ The free plan caps editable boards at three rather than capping people, so unlimited members can collaborate at no cost within those boards. That is the opposite of how most collaboration tools structure free tiers and lets a whole team be in the product from day one.
⚠️ AI credits and MCP calls are now metered per member alongside seats, so seat count no longer determines your tier on its own. A ten-person team using AI workflows heavily may need Business for capacity rather than headcount, while a thirty-person team barely using AI may sit fine on Starter.
⚠️ Enterprise requires a minimum of 30 members, so organisations below that cannot access custom AI credits, 10,000 daily MCP calls or expanded integrations regardless of what they are willing to pay. Annual billing saves 20% across the paid tiers.

- Organisations wanting everyone in the tool without per-seat cost, on free
- Teams needing two-way Jira, Asana or Linear integration, at Business
- Groups using AI workflows heavily enough to justify Business credits
Who it’s not for
- Interface design teams — Sketch or Penpot are the appropriate tools
- Organisations under 30 members needing Enterprise capabilities
- Teams wanting more than three boards without paying
- Anyone who has not modelled AI credit consumption separately from seats
Best use cases
- Running workshops on an infinite canvas with unlimited free members
- Working within three editable boards at no cost

Integrations
Two-way integrations with Jira, Asana, Linear and others arrive at the Business tier, which is where Miro stops being a canvas and starts being connected to the systems where work is actually tracked. MCP call limits — 100 daily on free rising to 10,000 on Enterprise — govern how much programmatic and agent-driven interaction a plan supports, which is a genuinely new kind of limit to budget around in collaboration software.

Sketch, Penpot, Spline and Miro prices are vendor-published and verified 2026-09-30. Uizard figures are from published third-party reporting; Uizard has been owned by Miro since June 2024.
Alternatives
Penpot and Sketch are interface design tools rather than whiteboards, so they solve a different problem despite overlapping in visual work. Uizard is now Miro-owned and generates interfaces with AI. Spline handles 3D design for the web. Within whiteboarding specifically, Miro’s free tier is the most generous starting point here.

Frequently asked questions
How much does Miro cost?
Free provides 3 editable boards with unlimited members. Starter is $8 per member a month billed yearly, Business $20, and Enterprise is custom from a 30-member minimum. Annual billing saves 20%. AI credits and MCP calls are metered per member alongside seats, at 25 and 500 on Starter, 50 and 2,000 on Business.
Is Miro’s free plan actually usable?
For many teams, yes — it caps editable boards at three rather than capping people, so unlimited members can collaborate at no cost. That is the opposite of most collaboration free tiers, and it means a whole team can work in Miro from day one provided the work fits within three canvases.
What are Miro’s AI credits and MCP calls?
A second pricing dimension metered per member alongside seats. Free provides 10 trial AI credits and 100 daily MCP calls, Starter 25 credits and 500 calls per member, Business 50 credits and 2,000 calls, and Enterprise 2,500-plus credits and 10,000 calls. Heavy AI use can determine your tier independently of headcount.
Which Miro tier do I need?
Model two variables rather than one. Seat count matters, but so does AI credit and MCP call consumption — a ten-person team using AI workflows heavily may need Business at $20 for capacity, while a thirty-person team barely using AI may sit fine on Starter at $8. They move independently now.
Miro or Penpot?
They solve different problems. Miro is an infinite whiteboard for workshops, planning and mapping; Penpot is an interface design and prototyping tool. Teams frequently use both. On free tiers Miro gives unlimited members across three boards, Penpot gives eight members with unlimited files.
Does Miro own Uizard?
Yes — Uizard was acquired by Miro in June 2024 and continues to be available with no changes reported to the day-to-day product experience. That makes two products in this comparison from the same company, though they address quite different jobs.
What does Miro Business add over Starter?
Fifty AI credits per member against 25, 2,000 daily MCP calls against 500, full two-way integrations with Jira, Asana and Linear, complete access to AI workflows and agents rather than trial-only, plus SSO and SAML. At $20 against $8 it is 2.5x, and AI capacity is frequently the reason teams cross rather than the integrations.
