Mindomo

Overview

Mindomo is a diagramming and mind-mapping app for people who want to work across devices and share diagrams with others. It is strongest for teams and learners who value templates, offline editing, and collaboration alongside AI features. The free plan is a useful starting point, but its three-diagram cap is restrictive for anyone building a larger library.

Key features

Diagrams, sharing, and collaboration

Hundreds of templates give users a ready-made starting point for different scenarios, while presentation mode makes diagrams usable beyond the editing stage. Real-time collaboration and free-plan support for unlimited collaborators are clear advantages for shared work. Sharing permissions can be limited to viewing, allow editing, or let recipients make a separate copy, giving owners practical control over how others contribute.

Offline and mobile work

Mindomo supports offline editing and applies changes when the connection returns, which suits work on the move or in places with unreliable access. Android and iOS apps support capturing and editing notes with automatic synchronization. The free plan’s mobile sync covers only three diagrams, however, so users who need a wider cross-device library may need to pay.

AI, integrations, and exports

Mindomo AI can generate or translate diagrams in more than 30 or 50 languages, depending on the feature. Free users get one AI credit to try it; Premium includes 50 credits per month and Professional includes 60, so regular AI use is better matched to a paid plan. Integrations include Microsoft Teams, Google Classroom, LTI, Google Calendar, Outlook, Google Drive, OneDrive, and Dropbox. Export options span formats such as PDF, DOCX, PPTX, PNG, HTML, OPML, and XML; paid plans include defined export-format allowances.

Security and support

Security controls include SAML SSO, audit logs, access controls, guest editing controls, and password-protected diagrams. Video tutorials, a help center, and a forum provide support resources. These features make Mindomo more suitable for structured organizational use than a basic solo mapping tool.

Pricing

Mindomo uses a freemium model. Free costs nothing and includes three diagrams, unlimited collaborators, sharing, free templates, trial AI credits, and iOS and Android apps. It is a sensible way to try collaborative mapping, but the diagram cap and three-diagram mobile-sync limit make it a poor fit for users who need a substantial working archive.

Premium costs €6 a month, billed monthly. It adds cloud, mobile, and desktop access, unlimited diagrams, 50 AI credits per month, attachments, printing, 10 export formats, Teams integration, and API access. This is the better fit for an individual who needs room to grow beyond the free cap and wants a monthly AI allowance.

Professional costs €13.50 a month for 1 user + 5 guests. It includes Premium features plus guest editing, premium sharing, Gantt Charts, 20 export formats, and business templates; its allowance is 60 AI credits per month. The defined guest count makes it relevant to a small team, but larger groups should account for the one-user, five-guest structure.

Platforms

Mindomo is available on the web, Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android. That range, together with offline editing and mobile synchronization, suits people who move between desktop and mobile devices.

Who it's for

Mindomo suits students, individual planners, and small teams that need shared diagrams, reusable templates, presentation mode, and access across desktop and mobile. It is less compelling for someone who needs only a handful of simple maps and has no use for collaboration or AI, since the free tier is capped and paid plans add features that such a user may not need.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Unlimited collaborators on the free plan make shared diagrams possible without immediately paying per collaborator.
• Pro: Offline editing, mobile apps, and automatic synchronization support work across locations and devices.
• Pro: Multiple sharing permissions, security controls, and integrations support more controlled team workflows.
• Con: Free accounts are limited to three diagrams, constraining ongoing use without an upgrade.
• Con: Free mobile sync is also limited to three diagrams, which narrows the cross-device benefit for larger libraries.
• Con: Free AI access is only one credit, so meaningful continued use requires a paid allowance.

Alternatives

Choose EdrawMind if a free plan with 100 MB of storage and 100 topics better suits a bounded personal mapping project. Xmind is another freemium option for exploring classic and essential mind-mapping features, with its free plan capped at 10 online maps.

Mapify is worth considering when the stated free allowance of 30 AI credits and five PDF or document-to-mind-map conversions better matches the task. AmyMind is another freemium alternative.

Ayoa may suit readers seeking a combination of mind mapping, task management, AI features, whiteboards, and collaboration; its free plan allows 10 mind maps. mapifast is an option for readers comparing a freemium tool with a Pro plan priced at $19 a month.

MindMap AI may appeal to readers who prioritize a free allowance of 50 AI credits per month and exports to PDF, PNG, Markdown, and project file. MindMap Chat is a free alternative with no paid tier and no account required.

Verdict

Mindomo is a strong choice for people who need collaborative diagrams that remain editable offline and work across desktop and mobile, with templates and AI available as part of the same tool. Its main drawback is the free plan’s three-diagram ceiling; choose a paid tier if your library will grow, and look elsewhere if you need a free tool for keeping many diagrams.
