Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Miro

  • Free tier limited to 3 editable boards; additional boards must be shared as read-only
  • AI credits heavily restricted: 25 credits per member per month on Starter, 50 on Business
  • Enterprise plan requires minimum 30 members
  • Large projects with numerous nested objects may impact performance on lower tiers

Zoho Projects

  • The free plan allows 5 users, 3 projects and 5 GB of storage
  • Custom profiles, roles and fields require the Enterprise plan
  • Read only users are rationed by tier, at 10 on Enterprise and 100 on Ultimate
  • Ultimate allocates storage per user with a 150 GB organisation minimum, so small teams pay for capacity they cannot use
  • The pricing page does not display per user costs for any paid tier
