What it is, and why we rate it

One line each. Open a row for detail.

What it really isLucid Software's web-based diagramming application for flowcharts, process maps, org charts and technical diagrams, with a $0 Free plan, paid Individual and Team plans, and a seven-day trial of paid plans.

Our takeLucid is clear about what the Free plan caps and what moves to paid plans, and its Help Center spells out the trial, auto-renewal and no-refund terms.

The shape limit differs between its pricing and trial pages, and the pricing page shows only the yearly-billing rate. Weigh the Free caps and the billing terms against how often you would diagram.

Why we rate itFree plan and published USD prices with a documented trial and 100+ integrations; held back by the tight Free caps, automatic billing after the trial, no refunds on cancellation and no visible monthly-billing price.

The catchFree allows only 3 editable documents; the trial bills automatically unless cancelled; cancellations carry a no-refund policy; the pricing page shows only the yearly-billing monthly rate.

Best / not good for

Best for

Individuals who want to try diagramming on a free tier
Teams that work in Jira, Confluence or Microsoft 365
Students and teachers with an institution email address

Not good for

People who need more than 3 editable documents without paying
Buyers who need a published monthly-billing price before signing up
Organisations that need a price without contacting sales for Enterprise

Trade-offs

Friction report

Trade-offs to know before signing up.

Time to value
Sign-up is self-serve with Google, Microsoft or email, and the Free plan needs no credit card; the paid trial asks for payment details first.
Scale breakpoint
The Free plan stops at 3 editable documents and 25 MB of storage; Individual removes the document limit and Team adds revision history and integrations.
Walled garden
Lucidspark is a separate product with its own subscription, and the Enterprise plan includes it; revision history and the Atlassian integrations sit on Team, and the pricing page lists Microsoft 365 there too.

Still a fit?

If none of these block you, start on the free plan.
