Mapul

What Mapul is

Mapul is a browser-based tool for making organic mind maps, idea sketches, and related visual notes. Its editor combines soft branches, leaves, rectangles, colors, and handwritten-style text. You can describe an idea and have AI turn it into an editable map. Maps can be shared through read-only links; Pro lists unlimited sharing and permissions. The Free plan works without an account for one local map and includes one AI presentation generation, one AI Image Export, sharing for one map, JPG export, and Mapul backup export and import. Pro adds AI Image Export templates, a presentation editor, AI narration and slide voiceover, and WebM presentation video export. Paid options include cloud map allowances or unlimited cloud maps, depending on the plan, and include 50 AI credits; extra credit packs are available. Pro Monthly is $11.99 per month, Pro Yearly is $95.99 per year, and Pro 3 Years is $249.99 per 3 years. One-time purchase options are listed as Pro 30 at $29.99 per month, Pro 50 at $49.99 per month, and Pro 100 at $79.99 per month. Mapul says maps in the current version are designed to remain in browser storage unless exported, shared, or submitted through another channel. It is an independent product built by a small team of developers from Georgia.
