About
Kumu is a relationship mapping platform for organizing complex data into interactive maps. It supports stakeholder mapping, systems mapping, social network mapping, community asset mapping, and concept mapping, with built-in presentation and publishing features for sharing maps online.
The pricing page says the hosted kumu.io service offers free registration and unlimited public projects, with private projects billed at $9/month per project on basic workspaces and $20/month per project on pro workspaces. Basic workspaces are free, include unlimited collaborators, maps, and views, and are backed up daily; pro workspaces add hourly backups and additional collaboration controls.

Free Tier Value
This free tier is genuinely usable: public projects are unlimited, collaborators are unlimited, and the core feature set is available without a credit card. The closest paid step-up is the $10/month Pro workspace, so the free offering is worth about $10/month even though private projects are only covered by a 14-day trial and then require payment.
What's included in the free tier
- Registration and unlimited public projects are always free.
- Two-week free trial of private projects.
- Unlimited collaborators, maps, and views inside each project.
- Full access to core features including decorations, filters, clustering, and spreadsheet imports.
- Embed interactive maps on your own blog or website.
- Two-factor authentication (2FA).
- Free private projects for students with the edu discount: 3 private projects free.
