MURAL review
A facilitation-focused whiteboard with strong workshop controls and enterprise options.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
MURAL is a visual collaboration workspace for brainstorming, planning, workshops, meetings, and diagramming. It suits teams that need more than a shared blank canvas, particularly facilitators running structured sessions and organizations coordinating work across departments. Its infinite, resizable canvases support sticky notes, text, drawings, images, icons, GIFs, mapping, process flows, hierarchies, journeys, comments, link-based sharing, and custom templates. Real-time and asynchronous collaboration is available through web, Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android applications, with an API for broader platform connections.
Facilitation is MURAL’s clearest strength. Timers, participant summoning, facilitator lock, private mode, outline controls, presentation mode, and anonymous voting give workshop leaders tools for pacing and participation. Flexible permissions and visitor collaboration support sessions that include people outside the workspace. The integration set covers Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Webex, Google Workspace, Jira, Slack, Salesforce, Asana, Azure DevOps, Confluence, Figma, Microsoft 365, Okta, GitHub, and Google Drive. Mural AI is included with Team+, while Business adds LUMA frameworks and advanced integrations.
The Free plan includes unlimited murals, but only 3 can be editable at one time; older murals remain view-only. Team+ provides unlimited editable murals, editable visitors, private rooms, Mural AI, and basic integrations at $9.99 per member per month billed annually. Business adds single sign-on, unlimited external users, advanced integrations, and priority support. Enterprise adds multiple workspaces, advanced security and administrative controls, SCIM, audit logs, reporting APIs, data residency, and BYOK. Choose MURAL for facilitated collaboration and governance requirements; teams seeking only an informal, lightweight board may find its broader controls unnecessary.
