A (beautiful) Swiss army knife of mind maps

Also working in teams and collaborating with other people, this tool turns out to be really great and very efficient for mind map management. My wish would be to be able to buy it instead of having it as a subscription.

Pros

MindMeister makes the process of mind mapping enjoyable, fun and creative, allowing you to reason and design processes in a very pleasant and functional environment. Responsive and well-designed interface

Cons

Its shortcomings are very few. What I regret the most is the impossibility to buy it as a lifetime service, without depending on subscriptions that make the expense excessive compared to the real use.

Here comes the meister

Reviewed on 2022/05/29

Pros

I've tried several mind mapping software over the years, but none ever come close to the ease of use and advanced features packed into mind meister

Cons

Nothing, the free plan is a good place to start, while pricing for more advanced users, professionals and business is more than fair

Response from Meister
