Whimsical

What is Whimsical?

Whiteboards for diagrams, wireframes and mind maps.

Who is Whimsical best for?

Whimsical is best for product teams who sketch flowcharts and wireframes together and want AI first drafts.

• Product managers and designers

  Flowcharts, wireframes and docs sit on one infinite canvas, so a feature can go from a rough flow to a screen sketch in the same file.

• Fast first drafts

  Whimsical AI turns a short prompt into an editable flowchart, mind map or wireframe that you then adjust by hand.

• Work shared with clients

  Viewers and guests are unlimited on every plan, so stakeholders can view and comment without a paid seat.

• Team brainstorms

  Mind maps, voting and a built-in timer help a group collect and sort ideas in real time.

How much does Whimsical cost?

Whimsical is free for up to 50 board objects and 50 doc blocks a month, and its paid plans cost $12 per editor a month for Pro or $24 for Business, or $10 and $20 billed yearly.

Billed yearly, Pro is $10 and Business $20 per editor a month. Viewers and guests cost nothing on any plan, so you pay only for editors. Extra AI credits are sold separately on every plan.
