Miro vs Figma
pricing comparison · 2026 · Updated April 2026
Miro pricing ranges from $0–$20/user/month, while Figma ranges from $0–$90/user/month. Miro is typically 72% more affordable, though your actual cost depends on tier and team size.
Miro and Figma overlap significantly for product teams — both feature online canvases, real-time collaboration, and templates for workshops, roadmaps, and design reviews. But they're built for fundamentally different primary use cases.
Figma is a professional design tool first: UI/UX design, prototyping, and design systems are its core. Miro is a collaborative whiteboard first: brainstorming, workshops, agile ceremonies, and stakeholder presentations are where it shines. Many teams use both, and the pricing — Miro Starter at $10/user and Figma Professional at $16/user — means running both isn't prohibitive.

Our Verdict
These tools don't fully compete — most design teams use both. If forced to choose one: Figma for design-led product teams where UI/UX is the primary output. Miro for cross-functional teams where workshops, brainstorming, and stakeholder alignment are the primary use cases.
FigJam (Figma's whiteboard) is increasingly capable, but Miro's depth in workshop facilitation — timers, voting, advanced templates — keeps it ahead for teams that run frequent collaborative sessions. If your team primarily designs, the Figma + FigJam bundle may be all you need.
Frequently Asked Questions
01 Can Miro replace Figma for design teams?
No. Miro has no vector design, prototyping, or component system capabilities. It's a collaboration tool, not a design tool. Figma is irreplaceable for professional UI/UX work.
02 Can FigJam replace Miro?
For basic whiteboarding and simple workshops, FigJam is often sufficient. But for complex facilitation — sprint planning, user story mapping, large stakeholder sessions — Miro's deeper toolset typically wins.
03 Which is better for product managers?
Miro is preferred by PMs for roadmapping, workshop facilitation, and stakeholder alignment. Figma is essential for collaborating on design specs and reviewing prototypes with the design team.
04 Do I need both Miro and Figma?
Many product teams use both — Figma for design and Miro for workshops. Combined cost is $26/user/month. Teams with lighter design needs may find Figma + FigJam sufficient at $16/user/month.
