In short: EdrawMind is ranked #1 of 71 as of 5 October 2026, ahead of GoMind and Mindomo. The best-ranked option with a free plan is GoMind. The lowest first paid tier on this page is QuikFlow at $1.08/mo.
Mind maps turn ideas and their connections into a format you can develop and share. Compared on AI assistance, collaborator limits, export formats, free plans, offline mode, presentation mode, real-time collaboration, supported platforms, and paid-from pricing, these tools suit different ways of working. EdrawMind, GoMind, and Mindomo are among the entries to consider. If you work with others, look at the collaboration options and collaborator limit; if you need to carry a map elsewhere, compare export formats and offline availability. Presentation mode and supported platforms can also help you assess whether a tool fits how you plan to review or share your work.
71 mind mapping software ranked on what their makers publish — plans and prices, free tiers, platforms and the facts on their own pages.
