About
Mindmup is a web-based mind mapping application for creating, editing, sharing, and publishing maps in the browser. It supports standard mind maps, org charts, fishbone diagrams, and argument visualization, along with notes, attachments, export formats, version history, and real-time collaboration.
The free Starter plan allows up to 5 mind maps, note taking and annotation, and sharing and publishing. The paid plans add unlimited maps, teamspaces, guest access, SSO, Google Drive integration, and other collaboration and administration features.
Free Tier Value
This free tier is a capped but genuinely usable starter offer: it gives up to 5 mind maps, notes, sharing/publishing, and 10 AI credits, while the cheapest paid plan starts at $6/month for unlimited maps plus attachments and advanced sharing. That makes the free tier worth about half of the entry paid plan’s practical value, so roughly $3/month; no credit card is needed, and the offer is perpetual but limited.
