About Whimsical

Whimsical is the whiteboard for thinking and planning. It’s built for teams to move from chaos to clarity and turn ideas into action.
Start from scratch or describe what you need and let AI build it.

From sticky notes, sketches, and mind maps to process diagrams, flowcharts, wireframes, and presentations, Whimsical makes it seamless to create stunning visuals without the friction.

It’s faster than heavy design tools built for high-fidelity prototyping and simpler than complex diagramming software tailored for formal documentation, so you go from 0 to 1 in record time.

Whether you’re collaborating with your team, external stakeholders or clients, Whimsical lets you communicate high-level ideas without worrying about the pixels. Turn abstract concepts and messy thoughts into “aha moments” of shared understanding, and keep everybody aligned and moving in the same direction.

Starts at $10 / month.

Whimsical brings my streams of thought to life and is a WINNING tool for my business growth.

I'm an ideas person and I feel unable to move forward with my goals when I cannot get my thoughts out. It is also a challenge for me to express what I'm thinking in a way where people will understand not only the context but the call to action. Using whimsical, I have been able map out my ideas in a flow and shift around what makes sense for all areas of my business growth and development. I've been able to share this map so my team can help me more effectively and understand the plan.

Pros:

I love the ability to map out on a huge board that accommodates with the right visual design tools so I can put my business ideas "on the screen". I love how much I can do with it.

Cons:

I love whimsical for what it is. I'm not sure what could be added or improved upon per say. I will genuinely think about this though.

Easiest-to-use flowchart and wireframing tool

Whimsical is a joy to use on a daily basis. It manages to be as good at flowcharts as it is at wireframing. Of course you won't go as far as you would with Figma or Moqups, but it's plenty enough to materialize ideas, in a personal or professional context. And it's pretty cheap for what it offers !

Functionality

Pros:

Tools to create all kinds of charts are legion. So are tools for wireframing. Some are easy to use, some do great things. Very few manage to achieve both at the same time, but Whimsical does.

Cons:

Not much to criticize there. In the wireframing library, some additional components would be nice to have.

Too many colors but few professionalism

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Functionality

Pros:

The ease of adding diagrams and the creation of flow charts

Cons:

Too many colors, not serious. This seems to be the trend nowadays, but I belong to the old school, where serious and professional things are black, white, or on a gray scale.

A platform for team design

Functionality

Pros:

What I like most about this program are the collaboration tools that allow teamwork without limits due to distance or schedule. In this way, any member can collaborate at any time.

Cons:

What I like the least is the movement within the interface, at times it can be annoying since it makes it difficult to change templates and you can get lost if you have several projects on the work table.

Best mindmap app

It has a user-friendly interface, this tool is made with the mindset of quality and getting things done without overwhelming features, with its minimal interface, I could brainstorm my ideas, plan my projects and make my mind maps.

Pros:

Easy to understand, easy drag and drop features, and very clean with easy navigation and control. I have used too many tools before, but nothing provides what Whimsical provides in its free plan.

Cons:

There is nothing I can dislike about this tool, but maybe adding more features to the mind mapping panel will be great.

It's great at what it does

I really like it for what it does, and I appreciate how polished the final designs always look.

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Functionality

Pros:

I really like how easy Whimsical is to use, as you just drag/drop shapes and easily connect them to make diagrams and flowcharts. It's great for showing my thinking and creates polished-looking visuals. The design is great and the colour scheme is eye-catching.

Cons:

It's great at what it does, but the use-cases for me are limited. I mostly use it for creating flowcharts, which is very useful but there's not much else I would personally use it for.

Functionality

Pros:

If you need to do the job nice and easy - Whimsical is a go-to tool. Within a couple of clicks you can make all the stuff you need - wireframe mock, proof of concept, diagrams to back-up your presentation, the list goes on. It is easy to get into and simple to use. It is also very good for collaborative projects.

Cons:

Free trial version features are limited and the full version costs a penny. This may be a huge turn off for those who need this kind of a tool but doesn't have the budget for it.

An awesome white-boarding web app

As part of the UX team, Whimsical helped us tremendously in visually capturing our user experience needs and diagramming our apps and websites more effectively.

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Functionality

Pros:

Whimsical is a great tool ideal for designing workflows, mindmaps, wireframes, among others. It is extremely intuitive, any new user can use it without problems and the fact that it is a collaborative tool gives it a plus.

Cons:

It has some limited design features, for example, you can't use custom colors (only those provided by the app). There are other apps (such as Miro) that include almost everything that Whimsical has to offer, and more.

Vendor Response

Hi Gonzalo - Thank you for the thoughtful review and great feedback! You and your team can customize your color options with themes - here is a doc that will help you get started, and don't hesitate to email us at help@whimsical.com if you have additional questions. https://help.whimsical.com/article/615-themes-and-custom-colors

The best drawing tool I ever used for solution design. Everything is perfect from UI/UX to functionality. I can create flow charts and share with colleagues easily and even collaborate on them in real time.
