Mindomo

Overview

Mindomo is a diagramming workspace for people who want to build and share visual plans across desktop, web, and mobile. It is especially suited to teams and educators who need collaboration alongside offline editing, though free users face a small diagram allowance and restricted mobile sync.

Key features

Mindomo combines mind mapping and diagramming with presentation mode, real-time collaboration, and hundreds of templates. That makes it useful for turning a blank page into a structured map or presenting one to others; the template breadth is a practical starting point, not a substitute for choosing the right plan if you need more than three diagrams.

Sharing controls offer view-only access, editing, or a separate copy for someone to edit independently. Free accounts can include unlimited collaborators, so the diagram cap—not the number of people invited—is the main constraint for a small group trying the service. Professional instead provides one user and five guests per month, including guest editing.

Offline editing lets users continue changing diagrams without a network connection and sync those changes when back online. Android and iOS apps support capturing and editing notes with automatic synchronization, but free mobile syncing is capped at three diagrams for cross-device access. Mindomo also connects with Microsoft Teams, Google Classroom, LTI, Google Calendar, Outlook, Google Drive, OneDrive, and Dropbox. Its export choices include PDF, DOCX, PPTX, PNG, HTML, OPML, and XML among a wider set of formats.

Mindomo AI can generate or translate diagrams in more than 30 or 50 languages, depending on the feature. Free includes one AI credit for testing; Premium includes 50 credits per month and Professional 60, so frequent AI use points toward a paid plan. Security controls include SAML SSO, audit logs, access controls, guest editing controls, and password-protected diagrams.

Pricing

Mindomo is freemium. Free costs €0.00 per free and includes three diagrams, unlimited collaborators, sharing, free templates, trial AI credits, and iOS and Android apps. It is a reasonable way to try the workflow, but the three-diagram ceiling and three-diagram mobile-sync limit make it a poor fit for an expanding personal library.

Premium costs €6.00 per month, billed monthly. It adds unlimited diagrams, cloud, mobile, and desktop access, 50 AI credits per month, attachments, printing, 10 export formats, Teams integration, and API access. This is the clearest step up for an individual who has outgrown the free cap; Professional is not necessary if guest editing, Gantt Charts, and a larger export selection are not priorities.

Professional costs €13.50 per month and covers one user plus five guests per month. It includes Premium features, guest editing, premium sharing, Gantt Charts, 20 export formats, business templates, and 60 AI credits per month. The fixed guest allowance suits a small working group, but teams needing more seats should not assume this plan scales beyond that stated scope.

Platforms

Mindomo supports web, Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android, and API access. The range is broad enough for mixed-device teams, while offline editing and mobile synchronization help keep work moving between connections.

Who it's for

Choose Mindomo if you need diagrams that can be collaboratively edited, presented, and accessed on multiple device types, particularly if offline work or education integrations matter. Free works for a limited set of diagrams and broad collaboration; Premium is better for an individual who needs an ongoing, unlimited diagram collection. Professional makes sense when one owner needs to work with up to five monthly guests and wants Gantt Charts or guest editing.

Look elsewhere if your priority is a generous free archive: Mindomo's three-diagram cap is restrictive for long-term use. Its paid plans also have specific user and guest scopes, so larger groups should compare those terms before committing.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Offline editing syncs changes once a connection returns, supporting work away from reliable internet.
• Pro: Free allows unlimited collaborators, so a small group can work together without a collaborator-count cap.
• Pro: Web, desktop, and mobile coverage plus numerous export formats support varied workflows.
• Con: Free is limited to three diagrams, with mobile sync likewise limited to three diagrams.
• Con: Free AI access is only one testing credit, while ongoing monthly credits require a paid plan.
• Con: Professional's allowance is one user plus five guests per month, not an open-ended team seat pool.

Alternatives

For a different mind-mapping option, compare Mind Mapping Software or AI Mind Map Tools. Xmind is another freemium choice for exploring classic and essential mapping features, with 10 online maps on its free plan. EdrawMind offers a free plan with 100 MB storage and 100 topics, which may suit users weighing those specific limits. GoMind has a free tier with core mapping, rich notes and layouts, and import and export workflows. MindMeister limits its free plan to three mind maps. Ayoa allows 10 mind maps on its free plan and combines mind mapping with task management, AI features, whiteboards, and collaboration on paid plans. MindGenius offers a 14-day free trial with full product capability and no credit card required, alongside a free plan limited to one project. Thortspace is another freemium option with a free license for public spheres. MindOnMap may suit someone looking for a free tier with three mind map files, up to 50 nodes per map, and access on two devices.

Verdict

Mindomo is a strong fit for an individual or small group that needs cross-platform diagramming, offline editing, and collaboration, with Professional adding a defined guest workflow. Its main reason to choose it is the combination of those capabilities; its main reason to look elsewhere is the restrictive free diagram limit or a need for more flexible team capacity.
