Principle Product Manager Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Effective collaboration made easy" December 11, 2025 4.0 Very positive. Has helped us to collaborate and share ideas and brain storm far more effectively. Works great for our hybrid teams. Pros Its quick and easy to build ideas, diagrams and helpful to communicate especially for remote and hybrid teams. The quick ability to go into the "Lucid" mode to draw more complex diagrams and images is great. The team exercises is a brilliant features that helps collaboration massively. Cons Permissions and sharing is complicated and it isn't always clear which is the best way to share. Not everyone in our organization has lucid and its sometimes tricky to collaborate. Its possible but you have to use a specific share mode (with password) and so that can cause friction. Switched from [Mural](https://www.capterra.com/p/171956/Mural/) We were already using Lucid for diagraming and the integration with Lucidspark made it a Lucidspark a better option with greater value for money.

Tutor E-Learning Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Lucidspark points of interest and improvements " December 26, 2025 4.0 It has been okay for the price point it’s been set at though I do wish there was more meaningful integration of multiple screens windows or inputs such as a computer and laptop Pros I like how fluid the use of the whiteboard is for visualization of math concepts and helps improve some learning techniques of students who rely on the visual cues Cons Importing files to access on the whiteboard can be difficult and leads to weird sizing orientation or quality of the file Switched from [Zoom Workplace](https://www.capterra.com/p/144037/Zoom-Video-Conferencing/) The whiteboard function wouldn’t interstate my iPad well Review Source DD Danielle D. Consultant Entertainment Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "The Paywall Is Ridiculous" November 16, 2025 3.0 Pros Lucidspark is a great app. I use the app for personal use and the documents are very secure, my data hasn't been leaked. I personally haven't had to use the customer support, but I'm sure its great. It's effortless to manage my projects. The features are very diverse and work as intended. The collaboration is by far it's best feature, works extremely well and has little to no bugs. Cons The subscription price is ridiculous, $108 per year. The worst part about the subscription service is that they limit you to three separate whiteboards on the free plan. That is redundant, how are you supposed to use this for work-related purposes on a free trial, for those who can't afford such a fee? Switched from [Whiteboard Fox](https://www.capterra.com/p/203481/WhiteboardFox/) The software for Whiteboard Fox was extremely glitchy and would delete your whiteboards after a period of time, while lucidspark does not.

Head of Regulatory and Facilities Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great for team collaboration and mind-mapping" April 20, 2026 4.0 A great tool that has increased our teamwork and collaboration across our company, and improved our staff's understanding and compliance with new process flows Pros We have used Lucid for over 4 years and have found it to be an incredible tool for mind-mapping and creating valuable process flows for our business. Lucid features a strong approvals feature, allowing us to track progress of each document we created, ensuring all of our stakeholders collaborate and agree before finalising the document. Lucid is a competitively priced application, offering great value for money with a huge amount of pre-made templates and shapes. Cons The customer support is often too intrusive, pressuring for further licenses and warning about the security of the users. Review Source PB Paul B. Owner Information Technology and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "LucidSpark - Amazing Program" May 12, 2025 5.0 It is a great product. I'm still figuring out how to utilize it more for my business. Inspiration isn't always instantaneous. I know my employees have liked it but probably not as much as I have. Pros I think my favorite thing is the mind mapping capability. It also allows me to share my maps with other people in the office. Although the other people did not collaborate as I had hoped, they were able to see my thoughts on different topics for out business meeting. Cons In my other mind mapping program (X-Mind), I am able to collapse points down and expand them out easily. This can be done programmatically right now but I didn't want to create layers and program this. Switched from [XMind](https://www.capterra.com/p/128088/XMind/) I actually still use both products. I added LucidSpark for collaboration and my guys were already using LucidChart for network diagrams. Review Source Michael R. Lead Developer/SEO Specialist Computer & Network Security Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great for Catching Sparks (Ideas), But Not the Tool to Fuel a Bonfire. (Entire Project)" June 21, 2022 4.0 In my opinion, the pros, and cons are pretty evenly balanced, making Lucidspark a no-go for me. At least it would have been for me had I been evaluating integration for the whole company. Fortunately, all I did was collect and tally votes, including my own "Maybe," in the engineering team opinion poll after trialing the product. While I occasionally still use Lucidspark, other programs remain my go-to. Pros The virtual whiteboard, idea collection and organization, and remote-first approach are among Lucidspark's top attributes. Cons Onboarding/learning to use the software effectively and efficiently was a bit of a challenge, and without prior Lucidchart experience might be a dealbreaker. Alternatives considered [Miro](https://www.capterra.com/p/128955/Miro/)[Ziteboard](https://www.capterra.com/p/180379/Ziteboard/) Reason for choosing Lucidspark Ultimately, we chose not to switch to Lucidspark and continued using Invision Freehand as our primary shared whiteboarding software. Some improvements have also been made to Microsoft Whiteboard recently. Although it currently lacks the feature to be a viable contender in the space, it shows potential promise for the future. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Software Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great diagram drawing tool" February 27, 2026 5.0 I like lucidspark because it is more flexible when drawing diagrams compare to lucidchart, also drawing are more smooth too. Pros Lucidspark is a total game-changer for project collaboration, making it feel like my team is in the same room even when we're miles apart. The features are surprisingly intuitive, especially the way it lets us turn a messy brainstorm into a structured plan with just a few clicks. It’s a massive productivity booster because we no longer waste time trying to translate "whiteboard photos" into actual tasks. While it’s not the cheapest option out there, the value for money is clear since it replaces three or four other clunky tools. Honestly, it’s the best investment we’ve made for keeping our creative momentum alive. Cons If lucidspark can provide a better AI way to generate diagram, that will be great, or have a template for use to use. Review Source ZS Zsofia S. Senior Onboarding Specialist Market Research Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Easy to use + collaborate!" July 28, 2025 5.0 Using Lucidspark is a dynamic and engaging experience, especially for teams focused on collaboration and creativity. The platform offers a flexible digital canvas where users can brainstorm ideas, map out processes, and work together in real time. Pros Lucidspark is an intuitive, cloud-based virtual whiteboard that enhances team collaboration and brainstorming. It allows users to sketch, organize, and refine ideas in real time, making it ideal for remote or hybrid teams. With features like sticky notes, voting, comments, and templates, it supports agile workflows and creative ideation. Cons Despite its strengths, Lucidspark may be overwhelming for new users unfamiliar with digital whiteboarding tools. Its rich feature set can lead to cluttered boards if not managed well, reducing clarity. Performance can lag with large or complex boards, particularly on lower-end devices. Review Source AR Ankur R. Solutions Architect Management Consulting Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great mouse-usable tool" June 9, 2025 4.0 Pros I think while it wasn't the most intuitive to use at first, the ability to express my ideas visually, and the fact that it is so mouse-optimized is what I like best about it. Cons I'd say there's a whole lot of the UI that I don't use just because I don't have a use case for them, I would like to hide them in some way. Review Source HH Holly H. Consultant-Software Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Highly recommend!!!" July 14, 2025 5.0 Absolutely fantastic experience! Integrates with all my company software seamlessly. Love LucidSpark! Pros User friendly. Easy to integrate with draw.io code file. I thought I would have a difficult time as my diagram was ion a draw.io file, but I just upload the file and LucidSpark did the rest! Highly recommend. Cons There is absolutely nothing I would change or recommend to make this a better user experience. LucidSpark is the best. Review Source JY Jason Y. Software Engineer Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "LucidSpark Review" January 20, 2025 5.0 Pros I enjoyed Lucidspark’s interactive brainstorming features, which made visual collaboration feel really natural. Its clean interface and sticky-note style elements helped capture ideas quickly without feeling cluttered Cons Sometimes the board can become unwieldy if too many team members are adding content at once. Additionally, the cost might be a concern for smaller teams looking for more robust features without a high price tag. Review Source AH Aaron H. Sales and Inventory Analyst Consumer Goods Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Lucidspark is essential for remote working!" September 19, 2024 5.0 Really love lucidspark, it is an essential tool for the remote working world. Allows you to continue to whiteboard in virtual meetings where everyone can see it, and it never has to be erased when the meeting is over! Pros Lucidspark is elite at making meetings collaborative and visual for everyone! Has great different features and visuals to keep people engaged and organized. Cons Lucidspark has a slight learning curve to it and can be a little awkward the first couple meetings when it is being used. Once you get over the hump, you engagement will be so much better than before though! Review Source Colby G. Product Owner Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Lucidspark - a window between worlds." August 30, 2022 5.0 Pros Lucidspark is easy for everyone to pick up, the best part about it is that I can have people in design sessions that and they can pick it up within 3 minutes. Its easy to use implement and get different departments together and give some visibility on projects. Cons I wish is had just a few more tools that are in offered in Lucidchart but that is why we have both I guess. Review Source LH Lucien H. VP of GTM Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Lucidspark is a powerful flexible mapping tool but not the industry leader" May 23, 2024 4.0 Lucidspark was valuable to us at a time but ultimately was replaced by Miro. Pros The most powerful value proposition Lucidspark has is it is owned and built by Lucidchart. Being able to migrate a whole library of charts when Lucidspark came out was incredibly valuable for us when mapping become a lot more dynamic. Lucidchart collaboration is also excellent sharing lucidsparks and communicating over comments. Cons Lucidspark is a very expensive tool, when you take into consideration already paying for Lucidcharts. We liked the tools but it didn't match up to the agile fluid design and implementation of Miro. Miro quickly replaced Lucidspark as a more affordable solution that offered the same, if not more power, alongside a community driven map library. Review Source WK Waleed K. Senior Procurement Engineer - Facilities Management Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Excellent strategic planning tool in the form of a virtual whiteboard." March 22, 2022 5.0 Lucidspark is primarily used by me for long-term planning. The most useful aspect was that I was able to immediately use icons to explain my planning. Pros Working in a group using Lucidspark is a breez, where We no longer need to meet in person to take images of the whiteboard. I used the workflow databases and diagrams to develop a whole application, which Start using one of the many templates provided. There's lots of opportunity for thought and debate here, for that we Make it unique with the available shapes. Cons Disappointing was the large size of the completed workflow drawings, which we were sometimes unable to email as attachments. Review Source Joel B. Administrative Secretary Consumer Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "What is it about Lucidspark?" March 3, 2023 4.0 Our team and partners from all over the world can collaborate and brainstorm anywhere they are on the globe. Pros Most impactful features would be the remote collaboration benefit of Lucidspark and the integration with tools like Slack and Microsoft Teams. Cons There is a steep learning curve if you haven't used any of such tools before. So usually we give our staff a little tutorial before they use it. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Business analyst Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Wonderful tool for professionals " November 12, 2021 5.0 Pros Till now whatever I have seen and presented using the Lucid, it always a great experience, in less time and effort, it delivers quality.

Private Land Forestry Program Supervisor Renewables & Environment Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Low-key replacement for post-it-notes and whiteboards" December 17, 2020 5.0 Lucidspark, like its sibling, Lucidchart, is intuitive and easy to use. You can get up to speed with using this software very quickly and with next to no training. Pros This software is amazing for aggregating information and ideas and cataloging them in a meaningful way. I love how you can connect similar ideas and information to see connections and relationships. This has been very useful for capturing the wisdom and experience of retiring employees so it can be conveyed to personnel coming up through the ranks. Being able to catalog their different responsibilities and connect them together allows us to present a holistic view of the program so that new employees can get up to speed faster. I also love how this software is browser based so that it can be used anywhere on any device. This frees up staff from having to be in the office or worrying if they have a company computer. Cons I would like to see a feature where you can attach documents to different sparks. It would be helpful to enrich different ideas and sticky notes with supporting documents. Reason for choosing Lucidspark I am a long time user of Lucidchart and I love that software. I decided to try Lucidspark after seeing a recommendation for it. Review Source Alexander F.
