tldraw Has a Free Collaborative Whiteboard — Build Diagrams in Your Browser

A product manager at a remote startup told me: "We pay $15/user/month for Miro. Half the team just draws boxes and arrows."

The Whiteboard Tax

Miro, FigJam, Lucidchart - they all charge $8-15 per user per month. For a team of 20, that is $200+/month for drawing rectangles.

tldraw is a free, open-source collaborative whiteboard that runs entirely in your browser.

What tldraw Offers for Free

• Real-time Collaboration - Share a link, draw together instantly
• Shape Tools - Rectangles, ellipses, arrows, lines, text, sticky notes
• Freehand Drawing - Pen tool with pressure sensitivity

• Embed Anywhere - React component, drop into any web app
• No Account Required - Just open tldraw.com and start drawing
