Whimsical Pro at $12/month is 33% more expensive than Miro Starter at $8/month but offers better performance, unified file types, and a cleaner interface. Miro has more templates and integrations, while Whimsical excels in speed and simplicity. Best for teams valuing fast workflows over extensive features.

Key hidden costs include: free plan's 4-file limit forcing quick upgrades, AI action cap at 100 on free tier, Pro plan 20% premium for effective monthly vs annual billing, Enterprise SSO/SCIM requiring $18/month tier, and no volume discounts meaning large teams pay full per-seat price without breaks.
