### "Probably the best web based mind mapping tool"

June 26, 2021

5.0

Pros

While there are many offline mind mapping tools available, there are few good web based ones. MindMeister really excels. It's very useable and fast with a good set of features. If you are used to working in the browser and like having your data stored in the cloud so that it's available from any device, then MindMeister is a great choice. I've used most other mind mapping software and still have some installed on my Mac, but I keep going back to MindMeister.

Cons

There's not really anything to dislike. It may take new users a little while to get used to if they are used to other mind mapping software but shouldn't take long.

Xmind is not cloud based and real time data sync between devices and working on the same file from two devices isn't really possible.

### "Extremely intuitive tool for creating beautiful mind maps"

April 9, 2023

4.0

MindMeister is a great tool for mind mapping and creative brainstorming. I love its intuitive interface, the export functionality, endless canvas and integration with Google Drive. If you are a visual person or looking for a simple way for organizing your ideas, this can be your go-to tool.

Pros

MindMeister is a simple online tool for creating mind maps, project tasks or meeting notes. My team has used it for around 1.5 years and we have absolutely loved it. It helps in brainstorming the ideas with your hybrid team members and organize those ideas in a structured way. It has extremely intuitive UI and anyone can start using it without any training. You can upload different files from your local system or google drive. This features is extremely helpful when you want to attach details for a particular step. Once you have created a mind map, you can export it in different format like .pdf, .png, .docx, .pptx etc. and share it with your team members or client stakeholders.I love the collection of pre-built templates in MindMeister as it saves up a lot of time during ideation sessions.

Cons

A big drawback of MindMeister is that it doesn't allow you to create process/data flow diagrams (like BPMN). Due to this limitation, you might need to switch to a different tool. Additionally, we have faced a bit of a lag if the mind map is extremely detailed out or having large files attached to it. Also, its free plan only allows you to create a few documents and doesn't provide enough features.

### "Great tool, terrible support — 8+ days and counting for a simple upgrade issue"

October 28, 2025

3.0

My journey with MindMeister is a story of two extremes. The software itself is outstanding: it’s intuitive, visually engaging, and makes organizing and sharing information a breeze. I found it especially useful for academic work and collaborative projects, thanks to its clean interface and robust sharing features. However, my attempt to upgrade from Edu Personal to Edu Pro has been a source of ongoing frustration. Since October 20th, I’ve been unable to complete the upgrade due to a university email verification error—despite this same email being accepted when I first signed up. The support team’s responses have been slow and ineffective, repeatedly asking for screen recordings and technical details without addressing the root cause. Suggestions to try non-Edu plans or use incognito mode were irrelevant to my specific issue. As of October 28th, the problem remains unresolved. This has not only wasted my time but also disrupted my workflow and productivity. For a tool designed to enhance productivity, such a prolonged and unresolved support issue is unacceptable.

Pros

Intuitive interface:easy to navigate and visually appealing, making mind mapping accessible for all users. Excellent for structuring complex information in a clear, visual format.

Cons

Poor customer support: support experience described as "suffering" due to lack of effective help. Support requests for screen recordings and developer console info did not resolve the issue. No timely resolution:lack of escalation or clear timeline, directly impacting productivity.

### "A complete mindmapping solution for all of us who prefer visual organization of information"

October 1, 2019

5.0

As a predominantly visual person I need to see "the whole picture" when designing a new project and I do a lot of mindmapping on almost daily basis. I have the master mindmap with the key projects I am working on that branch out to smaller activities, tasks and deliverables and most of my notes related to the development are within the mindmap. As MindMeister offers a good number of icons to tag the individual branches I could clearly keep track of whole scope of the project and use the same space to add any ideas/notes I might have at the moment. Since you can easily collapse all the branches you are not using at the moment it really gives clarity and at the same time it helps me not to lose track of some processes or smaller deliverables that I could easily overlook in the task manager software I use. It also offers the integration with Meister Task so you can easily turn any branch into a task with deadlines and all. For me personally, the best use of mind maps is for brainstorming and planning stages of a project and I usually start by creating a map myself, adding ideas, processes and deliverables into it, and then sharing it with my colleagues at a meeting, which is usually followed by our joint work on the same map if the idea is chosen for the development. The app itself allows for all these, it has good visual interface, so after finding it and using it for a month I did not search for any other alternatives anymore.

Pros

As I use mind maps a lot I love to be able to have them available everywhere I go and to share them with my colleagues so we can work together on the same mind map. It offers everything mindmapping software should offer and it does it online (or through mobile app) so the only thing I need is the internet connection. The maps look very nice, there is a good number of templates and options (both map structures and design templates) so if you need a good mindmapping software I that is platform independent I could really recommend this one as I tried a couple of others before finding it. When you share the mind map with colleagues things get really great, especially during the ideation and planning stage of a project as everyone can add branches, expand on ideas which really helps make meetings more effective later.

Cons

This app also has the presentation mode that I have not found so useful. I see how it might be great to be able to present your mindmap to others instead of boring them with a slideshow, but I did not use it, so this would be the only thing that I am not really 'digging 100%. In essence, there is nothing bad about the app that I would highlight as it does its core function (mindmapping) really well. Of course, the free version has some limitations in terms of number of maps you can make and the export formats, but even the basic version can be enough for most users' needs.

### "Still the gold standard of mind map software"

January 10, 2020

5.0

Great piece of kit - helps me layout my plans in simple yet powerful graphical formats

Pros

It is so easy to use and gets great results every time

Cons

The output is limited even on the paid version so I need to pay extra for e.g. PPT output

### "Mindmeister - Useful for Many Purposes"

January 21, 2020

5.0

Mindmeister has been really helpful with story and song planning, mapping out the recording process, keeping track of characters, locations, objects, and their relationships. It's been a lovely experience.

Pros

I'm a visual thinker, creator, and planner. As such Mindmeister is extremely useful in realizing visual imagery and information, pretty much effortlessly. It comes with lots of templates to get you started if you find them more convenient. But it's also really easy to get a mind map started from a blank canvass. After you begin building the map, it is easy to apply global styles or to style individual elements. Another great feature is the ability to take a portion of a map and create a new map out of it, optionally leaving a link in the originating map. Highly convenient.

Cons

There aren't many cons. I wish it were easier to capture ideas quickly for working with later using the mobile app. Also on my wish list would be a way to text search for icons.

### "There are better free options"

July 30, 2021

We stopped using MeisterTask and MindMeister a while ago. We now use Jira. I wish we were able to cancel the service :(

Pros

It is a mind mapping program. It worked alright.

Cons

We used it a few times and then it became unneeded. It is hard to cancel the service so I suggest staying in the free version.

Hi there Amir, thanks so much for reaching out! I've forwarded your suggestion about embedding graphs/tables/spreadsheets into mind maps to our product team. It's a great idea! For now, you might find it helpful to attach a spreadsheet to a node, or to create an image of a graph/chart and insert it into your mind map. If you have any questions, be sure to reach out to us on Twitter at @MindMeister or to send us an email at support@mindmeister.com. Thanks again and happy mapping! -Andrew

### "Review - MindMeister"

November 26, 2022

5.0

The ideation phase has become make clearer and more efficient. A must-have in an environment/ at positions where strategic planning is prominent.

Pros

The ease of mapping ideas into clear-cut flow is exceptional; the best part is the customization it brings to idea management.

Cons

The customization is extensive; making it a touch hard for the first timers to get acclimatized with the product.

### "Unreasonable company to deal with."

April 12, 2021

2.0

I do not recommend MindMeister. We paid for and tested the software and it did not meet our needs. When I was invoiced another 12-months, I requested a refund advising that I had forgot to cancel they refused. As a small business we are now out of pocket for something we aren't going to use. Even if I decide to revisit software like this in future, they will not be on the list.

Pros

We tested the software and found it wasn't for us, we had paid for a year however but it sat there and did nothing as we did not use it.

Cons

Nothing to report on. We just found better software.

### "Mindmeister: A must have app for digital collaboration "

December 20, 2022

4.0

Overall, I can readily recommend MindMeister as an easy to use digital collaboration tool that is ideal for capturing ideas, organizing thoughts and planning out tasks. Its convenient integration options make it great for taking projects from idea generation to implementation without having to transition between multiple applications or platforms.

Pros

User friendly, easy to use interfaceLots of templates available to get you started quicklyAbility to organize ideas visually in maps and even collaborate with others in real time Option to integrate with other tools and apps such as Microsoft Office, Evernote, Google Drive, Slack,etc. Robust sharing capabilities that allow you to securely invite people to view or edit your mind maps Mobile app available for iOS or Android that makes managing and editing projects on the go much easier

Cons

Relatively limited set of icons available for creating visualizations Although there are lots of templates available, a lot of them require a subscription fee

### "Great Student Collaboration Tool"

July 20, 2021

5.0

The software is so easy to use. When you create your first mind map, it takes you step by step through the process. There are fun templates to choose from or you can start from scratch. I love the collaboration tool and the presentation tool. They both make it easy for students to collaborate and present their finished project.

Pros

I like so much about MindMeister. The software makes it possible for several students to work on the same mind map simultaneously. So it is great for homework or a project. There are many templates to choose from, or the students can start from scratch. I love the presentation tool. This tool allows for creativity as well.

Cons

The free portion of the software is limited. But it still allows your students to create a nice mind map. It gets kind of pricey if you want to make more than the allotted maps.

### "Decent Mind Map Software"

June 11, 2024

4.0

I enjoy using Mindmeister just wish they has more map layouts.

Pros

The website has never been down, its fairly quick and easy to get ideas from yourhead down onto a mindmap.

Cons

Compared to things like X mind they dont have a great choice of map layouts eg timeline, fishbone. Also they have a separate task management tool called Meistertask which they try to get you to use but it seems overly complicated having Mindmeister for mindmaps and Meistertask for task management. Some other compaines just have 1 product that does mapping and task management.

November 2, 2023

2.0

Dissapointed with a degraded product and lack of product management consideration to the customer base.

Pros

It USED to be a a great mindmapping. Fast, intuitive with all the essential featutes needed for mindmapping and brainstorming

Cons

Where to start? A year or so ago, Mindmeister upgraded their UI to a superficially 'modern' look but with inferior functionality and UX in every way. Cluttered, inconsistent, more friction in terms of usage. Unbelievable how a superb product has been ruined in such a thoughtless manner. After 10 years+ of usage I am looking at other options and using stuff like Notion where previously it would have been MM.

### "Fast brainstorming and collaboration"

November 29, 2022

5.0

Pros

I used MindMeister in several brainstorming sessions, during Agile software development projects. The best thing about it was how it enabled the team to collaborate real time in the creation of the project mind map. The web interface is clean and usable, and you can also do everything by using only the keyboard through shortcuts to add/edit/remove mind map nodes.

Cons

Unfortunately there are limitations in the basic plan, so if you need to have more than a few mind maps active you need to upgrade to a paid plan. Also, not all export options are available. Finally, I'd reccomend a fast internet connection if you plan to collaborate with your team, since real time collaboration is more resource-consuming.

### "Great Educational Tool"

February 3, 2020

5.0

I often colloborate with university colleagues to write grants. We have used the program to model teaching and learning frameworks and to delegate project tasks. It is easy to use and the export features allow us to incorporate graphics into proposals.

Pros

What I love most about Mindmeister is the ability to collaborate with others on maps. I use it with colleagues to model, plan, and brainstorm. I also use it with my college students, who are pre-service teachers. When I assign a collaborative brainstorming activity, I can view the timeline to see when students contributed to the map. (This feature also allows you to revert to an earlier version of the map.) There are a multitude of educational uses of Mindmeister -- lesson planning, summarizing ideas, examining cause and effect, analyzing literature, detailing the steps in a process, and vocabulary study -- to name a few! Mindmeister has become an essential tool for teaching and learning.

Cons

My students sometimes have problems retireving maps - especially if they have started a map and only worked on it for a few minutes.

January 22, 2020

5.0

Awesome! I've been using MindMeister for a long time and I can say that I have a life of study there. It is incredible how I can remember something I read two years ago really fast.

Pros

The facility in building mind maps that are beautiful and organized the way you want would be enough for me. But the tool for researching words on the maps are FANTASTIC. I can research a word through all maps or in an especific one. This really allows me to be faster at my work.

Cons

Although the price is affordable, I think the difference between annual and mothly plans should be more representative. I'd like to have an annual plan but, living in Brazil where dollar goes up and down, I can't know when it will really worth it.

Creating mind maps is very straightforward. There are plenty of models to start from and the real time collaboration features allow you to brainstorm with your team very easily. There are also many color and icon options to decorate your maps.

Pros

Looks cool, but beware of the trap door.

Cons

Not cool. I just spent two hours creating a mind map. It looked great. When I tried to export it I got a screen that said I needed to upgrade to be able to download it. 60 bucks. Okay. I wanted to take another look at it. I clicked back one page and my map was gone. nothing. zapped. No option to save, take a minute to reconsider, or look at its functionality. That's a pretty horrible user experience.

As an educator and a part of a big team, I have to understand what is happening around even when I am not directly involved in a project. It is also super visual when one has to understand the steps of a project and the amount of work to be done.

### "Favorite mind mapping software"

October 24, 2019

4.0

I have many projects that need to be visualized in order to keep track of them, and brainstorming really helps unload my ideas so I don't have to hang onto them in mind all the time. I know this is true of any planner book or software, but MindMeister makes it easy, quick and colorful to handle.

Pros

I like how easy and colorful it is, intuitive to type in ideas, connect them, move them around, and easy to create tasks out of them, and link them into MeisterTask. I don't like software that claims too much of my time before producing results, and this is usable right away. Also, it's easy to look at, good design and colors. There are others I've tried which are very capable but hard to spend time with.

Cons

Can't think of something I don't like. I know the limitations of using a computer for brainstorming. It won't do my work or my thinking for me!

If you need a mind mapping tool that is easy to access from different devices with sharing capabilities this is a great option.

Cons

This products strong point is also it's weakness - cloud only mind mapping does not compete well against more mature App Based products like Mind Manager and XMind. The product also started with a free edition and recently they changed the terms of the free edition and I cannot access my previous maps - the software is now constantly trying to force me to upgrade before gaining access to my old maps. I understand that they have to make money - but still.
