Why teams switch from Miro to Graphly AI
Purpose-built for diagrams, not generic whiteboarding
Miro is a broad brainstorming whiteboard. Graphly AI is purpose-built for technical diagrams — UML, ERD, and system architecture, with node types to match.
No per-seat pricing
Miro charges per seat once you outgrow its free tier. Graphly AI stays free with unlimited local diagrams for the whole team.
AI does the first draft
Describe your architecture in plain English and Graphly AI generates the nodes, containers, and connectors — Miro has no equivalent for technical diagrams.
Frequently asked questions
Is Graphly AI really free compared to Miro?
Yes. Graphly AI has no document limit and no per-seat pricing for local diagrams, unlike Miro, whose free tier caps you at 3 editable boards before requiring a paid seat.
Can Graphly AI replace Miro for technical diagrams?
For UML, ERD, and system architecture diagrams, yes — Graphly AI has dedicated node types and AI generation Miro does not offer. For open-ended visual brainstorming, Miro's canvas is more general-purpose.
Does Graphly AI support real-time collaboration like Miro?
Yes. Graphly AI supports real-time multiplayer collaboration with live cursors and CRDT-based sync.
Do I need to create an account to use Graphly AI?
No. Graphly AI is offline-first — you can start diagramming immediately with zero sign-up.
