The short version

  • Only Mural has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Adobe Connect buying guide (archived 2026 capture) names Standard, Premium and Enterprise base plans with no public dollar figures, gating price behind purchase; only one base plan can be bought per customer account; Mural the free plan allows 3 editable murals at a time, so working on a fourth means archiving one
  • They diverge on capability: Adobe Connect covers HD video, Mural covers Infinite canvas.
