What is Miro?
Miro is a general-purpose visual whiteboard, founded in 2011 by Andrey Khusid as "RealtimeBoard" before rebranding. It now positions itself as "the collaborative layer for working with AI," serving over 100 million users across 250,000+ organizations.
Does Miro support ArchiMate?
No ArchiMate or enterprise-architecture notation appears anywhere we checked — Miro's pricing page, its AI product page, and its help center all describe Mermaid, UML, AWS, and BPMN notations plus generic shapes, with no ArchiMate mention. Etione supports ArchiMate 3.2 natively.
What does Miro AI include?
"Sidekicks" (contextual AI agents), "Flows" (multi-step automated workflows), "AI Generators" for diagrams, flowcharts, mind maps, prototypes, and wireframes, and 250+ tool connectors. AI credits are capped and plan-gated: 25/member/month on Starter, 50/member/month on Business.
How much does Miro cost?
Free (3 editable boards); Starter $8/member/month billed yearly; Business $20/member/month billed yearly; Enterprise custom pricing with a 30-member minimum.
Does Miro support real-time multiplayer editing?
Yes — live multiplayer editing on a shared board is core to Miro and available from the Free tier up. Etione does not offer real-time multiplayer editing today.
Is Miro built for architecture diagramming specifically?
No — Miro is a general-purpose whiteboard for workshops, strategy mapping, and brainstorming that also supports technical diagramming, not an architecture-modeling tool first. Etione is scoped specifically to architecture notation.
