Three boards. That's the limit that decides whether Miro stays free for you. Everything else on the free plan is generous. You get thousands of templates, and docs or Kanban boards sit right on the canvas. But the moment you want a fourth board you're keeping, you're looking at a paid plan.
Miro started as a digital whiteboard for remote workshops, and that's still what most people use it for. In 2026 it pitches itself as a place where teams and AI work together, and it now connects to coding assistants too.
What the free plan covers
You get three editable boards, shared with your team, and more than 7,000 templates. You can put a doc or a Kanban board right next to your sticky notes. There's a small allowance to try Miro AI, and the board connects to more than 250 apps, including Slack.
For a student, a freelancer or a team trying Miro for one workshop, that's plenty. For a team that runs a retro every two weeks and keeps old boards, it isn't.

Unlimited guests, with admin controls
Starter is enough for most small teams. It removes the board limit and lets you keep boards private. You can also share a board publicly so people edit it without signing in. Facilitators get a timer and voting, which go a long way toward keeping a workshop on schedule.
Business is the plan for consultants and larger teams. Unlimited guests mean clients don't need seats. You also get serious diagramming, with more than 4,700 shapes for formats like UML and BPMN. Interactive prototypes and AI agents come with it as well. Two-way sync keeps Jira or Asana tasks in step with the board, and single sign-on keeps IT happy.
AI credits are smaller than they look
Each AI action uses credits. Starter's 25 per member a month and Business's 50 are enough to generate a few diagrams or summarize a workshop's sticky notes. They won't cover a team that runs AI workflows every day, so treat the included amount as a sample and watch usage after the first month. Enterprise starts from a larger shared pool of credits.
The upside is what the AI can do with a board's context. It can cluster a workshop's sticky notes into themes, draft a diagram from a description or turn a screenshot into a clickable prototype. Those are the jobs where Miro's AI earns its credits.
Miro as a hub for AI tools
The MCP server is the newest piece. It connects Miro to assistants like Claude, Cursor or Copilot, so context flows both ways: an agent can read a system diagram to write code, or draw a Mermaid chart onto the canvas. The daily call limits on each plan, from 100 free to 2,000 on Business, decide how far you can take this.
Who it's for
Miro fits teams that think visually and work together in real time: product teams mapping journeys, designers wireframing, engineers sketching architecture, consultants running client workshops. If your team mostly writes, Notion AI is the better home, and if your design work ends in production UI, Figma and its FigJam whiteboard keep everything in one tool. For project tracking after the workshop, Miro's two-way sync with Asana and Linear on Business saves copying tasks by hand.
Frequently Asked Questions about Miro
Is Miro free?
Yes, with a cap of three editable boards. The free plan includes more than 7,000 templates, docs, tables, slides and Kanban formats, a small allowance to try Miro AI and 250+ integrations. Unlimited boards start with Starter at $8 per member a month billed yearly.
Is Miro free for personal use?
The free plan works well for one person's projects as long as three boards are enough. Boards can be cleared and reused, but anything you want to keep long term will push you toward Starter, which removes the board limit and lets you keep boards private.
How much does Miro cost per user?
Starter costs $8 per member a month billed yearly or $10 monthly, and Business $20 or $25. Enterprise is priced on request for 30 members or more. On Business, guests are unlimited, so clients and outside partners don't need paid seats.
What are Miro AI credits?
The allowance for Miro's AI features, such as generating diagrams and tables, summarizing and clustering sticky notes, and running AI workflows and agents. Starter includes 25 credits per member a month and Business 50; the free plan gets a small trial amount, and Enterprise starts from a larger shared pool.
Does Miro work with Claude, Cursor or Copilot?
Yes, through Miro's MCP server, which lets AI tools read and write board content, for example turning a diagram into code or drawing a Mermaid chart on the canvas. The free plan allows 100 MCP calls a day, Starter 500 and Business 2,000.
