Love the interface and the fact that it's written in Clojure but it's worth mentioning Whimsical is $10/month vs. draw.io being free forever, and the Whimsical limited intro version is crippled in some quite annoying ways.
- simas89 7y agoJust checked it out - it's incredibly stringent. It doesn't adjust your "free board" limit even if you delete a board. Create a board, delete it just to try out the interface? One of your free boards is gone forever. Love the interface, hate the free plan.
- andrei_says_ 7y agoYou can restore your deleted board, manually remove all content and reuse it — but that’s them making it intentionally more painful than necessary. So, draw.io it is.
- jamaicahest 7y agoTo any business, $10 / month is literally nothing. If you pay $10 / month as a person, then I can see why it matters, but to a business that amount is nothing.
- chanux 7y agoPretty sure they know what they are doing with pricing (and "charge more" mantra and all that) but I wonder if there will be more people paying if the prices were lower. With cheap storage and serverless compute one would think pricing could be better. PS: The UX is great and the diagrams are beautiful but I don't use it enough to pay THAT much. It's totally OK though, I'm probably not in the target market.
- andrei_says_ 7y agoI’d probably make 10-20 diagrams in the next two years. That’s $20 to $10 per diagram and then more if I want to keep them on their platform. $200 per two year period for mostly client-side diagram software doesn’t sound like a deal to me.
