What it really is

A browser-based mind-mapping and simple flowchart tool built around live co-editing.

Our take

Coggle does one job well: getting a branching map onto a shared screen fast. Collaboration, history and exports are all on the free plan, which is unusual. The 3-private-diagram cap is the real decision point. If your maps can be public, or you only keep a few, you may never pay. If you keep many private maps, $5 a month for Awesome is modest.

Why we rate it

Real-time collaboration, history and exports are free, and the paid tier is cheap.

The catch

Only 3 private diagrams on the free plan, and flowchart shapes need Awesome.

The fourth private diagram requires Awesome; SSO requires Organisation at $8 per member.
