Overview

Boardmix is a collaborative whiteboard for teams that need a shared space for visual planning, diagrams, and discussion. It suits project, sales, marketing, IT, and UX or design groups that want those tasks alongside AI assistance. Its breadth is appealing, but the free tier is best treated as a trial-sized workspace rather than a permanent home for expanding projects.

Key features

Canvas and collaboration

An infinite canvas supports brainstorming, mind maps, flowcharts, and planning, with smart formatting to organize content. Chat and presentation mode let teams discuss and present board work without leaving the workspace. Shared editing, mentions, comments, and emojis make feedback part of the board; guest collaboration and voting tools also suit workshops where participation matters.

AI and file handling

Boardmix offers AI art, presentations, mind maps, flowcharts, and chat or writing assistance. That range can help teams develop and shape ideas in the same workspace, but it comes with a data consideration: when users choose AI features, reference images or original documents may be sent to AI models for processing.

Import and export support spans PDF, PNG, JPG, Word, Excel, JSON, CSV, Xmind, Visio, and BDX. This gives teams options for bringing in existing work and moving board content into other formats. Boardmix also describes an SDK for custom integrations. Its Google Drive API data use follows Google's User Data Policy, including Limited Use requirements.

Deployment and support

Organizations can deploy Boardmix as a single node or cluster in intranet, private cloud, or public cloud environments, which makes the Enterprise / Private offering relevant to teams with deployment requirements. Boardmix says it uses reasonable administrative, technical, and physical security controls for personal information. Help Center FAQs, user guides, video tutorials, email, Discord, and Telegram give users several support channels.

Pricing

The Free plan costs nothing, requires no credit card, and includes one team workspace, 3 editable boards, 100 objects per board, 1 GB storage, standard-definition export, and 10 version-history records. Those caps are enough to explore the workflow or run a small, bounded project; the board and storage limits constrain teams with ongoing work.

Starter costs $5 a month per member when billed annually, or $12 billed monthly. It adds one Professional team workspace, unlimited boards, objects, and projects, unlimited visitors with editing rights, 10 GB storage per seat, and 100 version-history records. It removes the free plan's board and object ceilings, making it the practical step up for teams that do not need AI tools. The monthly option costs more than the annual rate.

AI Starter costs $10 a month per member when billed annually, or $15.9 billed monthly. It includes everything in Starter, AI tools, and 5,000 total AI credits per seat each month. Choose it if AI is central to the workflow; the credit allowance is a defined monthly budget.

AI Business costs $20 a month per member when billed annually, or $29.9 billed monthly. It includes AI Starter, 20 GB storage per seat, and 10,000 total AI credits per seat each month. It is the higher-capacity option for teams needing more storage and AI credits, at a substantially higher per-member price.

Lifetime Plan 1 is a one-time purchase of $99, with no renewal; it covers 1 team member, 10 GB team workspace capacity, unlimited editable boards, 10,000 total AI credits, and future upgrades. Lifetime Plan 2 costs $399 once for 5 members, 50 GB, unlimited boards, and 50,000 credits. Lifetime Plan 3 costs $699 once for 10 members, 100 GB, unlimited boards, and 100,000 credits. Lifetime Plan 4 costs $999 once for 20 members, 200 GB, unlimited boards, and 200,000 credits. Each includes future upgrades. These fixed-seat purchases may suit teams preferring a one-time payment, but the plans set firm team and workspace capacities.

Enterprise / Private has custom pricing and includes unlimited Professional team workspaces, enterprise member management, advanced permission controls, a dedicated customer success manager, and OIDC SSO. Organizations can apply for a free Enterprise trial; applications are reviewed before approval.

Platforms

Boardmix supports Android, iOS, macOS, Windows, and web, as well as API and self-hosted options. That range accommodates browser-based use, desktop and mobile access, and organization-managed deployment.

Who it's for

Boardmix is a strong fit for teams that combine visual planning, structured diagrams, and group discussion, especially when they want presentation tools and AI assistance in the same workspace. It is less compelling for a solo user or team whose needs fit within a simpler free whiteboard: the free tier caps boards and storage, while meaningful paid capacity is priced per member.

Pros and cons

• Pros: One infinite canvas handles mind maps, flowcharts, planning, discussion, and presentation, reducing the need to move between tools for those tasks.
• Pros: Broad import and export formats make it easier to work with common office, image, diagram, and data files.
• Pros: Multiple deployment choices, including intranet and private cloud, give organizations more control over where the service runs.
• Cons: The free plan's 3-board, 100-object-per-board, and 1 GB storage limits can quickly restrict ongoing team projects.
• Cons: AI requires a separate paid tier and comes with monthly per-seat credit limits; selected source images or documents may be processed by AI models.
• Cons: Annual billing is needed to get the stated lower monthly rates on Starter and AI plans; monthly billing costs more.

Verdict
