The short version

  • Only Miro has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Miro free tier limited to 3 editable boards; additional boards must be shared as read-only; Aha! sold as eight separate products rather than one subscription, so Roadmaps, Discovery, Ideas, Whiteboards, Builder, Develop, Teamwork and Knowledge are each priced per user
  • They diverge on capability: Miro covers Infinite canvas, Aha! covers Strategic roadmaps.
