What Coggle is
Coggle is a collaborative workspace for mapping and sharing complex information through mind maps and flowcharts. People can edit diagrams together in real time, present them, and review version history. A previous version can be copied when an earlier arrangement is needed. Diagrams support unlimited image uploads, floating text, and images positioned outside the diagram tree. Coggle runs on the web and iOS, while its API can create and manipulate diagrams, visualize data, connect with an existing process, and import or export files. Exports include PDF, PNG, .mm, plain text (.txt), and Microsoft Visio (.vsdx). The Free Forever plan costs $0 forever and allows three private diagrams. Awesome costs $5 per month with unlimited private diagrams and added collaboration options. Organisation costs $8 per member per month with administration and branding tools. Enterprise pricing is available by contacting Coggle.
