Frequently Asked Questions
Is Miro good for students?
While Miro is powerful, it's often overwhelming for students. The learning curve and limited free plan make it less ideal for individual learning. Our tool is specifically designed for student concept mapping.
Can I use our tool for team collaboration?
Currently, our tool is optimized for individual use. For team collaboration, Miro is better. However, you can export your concept maps and share them with others.
Why is our tool simpler than Miro?
We deliberately focused on concept mapping only. Miro tries to do everything (brainstorming, wireframing, flowcharts, etc.), making it more complex. Our focused approach makes concept mapping easier and faster.
Should I pay for Miro or use our free tool?
For individual learning and concept mapping, our free tool is perfect. For team projects requiring collaboration, Miro might be worth the investment. For most students, our free tool is the better choice.
Can I migrate from Miro?
Yes, you can export your Miro boards and use our tool for concept mapping specifically. Export as image and recreate if needed.
