What Lucidchart is

Lucidchart is a cloud-based tool for creating diagrams that help users understand and improve systems and processes. It supports process maps, flowcharts, organization and team planning, technical diagrams, and system architecture visuals. Lucid AI can turn text prompts into content on the canvas and answer questions. Users can link Google Sheets, Excel, or CSV files to make data visualizations, and collaborate in real time or asynchronously. Integrations listed in Lucid’s marketplace include Jira, Confluence, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Notion, AWS, and Azure. A public API supports creating, reading, and updating Lucidchart and Lucidspark documents. The free plan includes three editable Lucidchart documents, up to 60 shapes per document, and 100 basic templates. The Individual plan is $9 a month and adds unlimited documents, shapes, and lines, along with premium templates, Presentation Mode, 1 GB cloud storage, premium shape libraries, and Visio import and export. It works through existing technology, including Chromebooks, but has no desktop app.
