Whiteboard Fox is a browser-based online whiteboard. You create a board, share its link or ID, and everyone draws on it in real time. The Personal plan is free, but free boards expire after 14 days; Pro costs $7.90 a month.
The bottom line
The fastest path from 'need a shared canvas' to 'everyone is drawing' — ideal when zero friction matters more than feature richness.

What it really is
Whiteboard Fox — frictionless browser-based collaborative whiteboard with no-login link sharing.
Our take
Whiteboard Fox strips online whiteboarding down to its bare essentials: open a tab, draw, send a link. The tool is freemium: a Pro plan ($7.90/mo) removes ads, expands the colour palette, and lets you control board expiry, while a Team plan ($15/user/mo, min 8 users) adds premium support. Feature depth is intentionally minimal: no templates, shapes library, or sticky notes — just a pen, eraser, zoom, and image upload. That simplicity is the point.
Why we rate it
In a world of over-engineered whiteboards, Whiteboard Fox's refusal to require an account remains a genuine differentiator for one-off sessions, classroom demos, and quick async sketches.
The catch
Extremely limited toolset (no shapes, no templates, no sticky notes, no version history), no third-party integrations, and free boards auto-delete after 14 days — ill-suited for serious design or persistent project work.
Best for
Educators and tutors running quick visual explanations
Remote teams needing a throwaway shared canvas with zero setup
Mobile and tablet users who want stylus-friendly real-time drawing
Not good for
Design or diagramming workflows requiring shapes, connectors, or templates
Teams needing persistent boards, version history, or audit trails
Organisations requiring SSO, admin controls, or third-party app integrations
Friction report
Time to value
Fast: open the URL, start drawing, paste the link into chat — under 30 seconds to a live shared board.
Scale breakpoint
Team plan enforces a minimum of 8 users billed annually; no visible enterprise tier, SSO, or admin dashboard for larger orgs.
Walled garden
Low: boards are accessed via public URL and content can be screenshotted freely; no proprietary file format lock-in.

It depends on the board setting. Invite-Only boards can be opened by anyone who has the whiteboard ID or link. Snapshots of Public boards are visible to anyone, for example on your public profile. Don't put sensitive information on a board you share.
Open the shared link, or enter the whiteboard ID on the Whiteboard Fox homepage. The person who created the board decides whether others can draw, erase anything, or only view.
