Compare FigJam and Whimsical side-by-side: pricing, key highlights, and which tool to choose for your workflow.
FigJam is Figma's whiteboard product, launched in 2021 as a cheaper companion to the main Figma product ($3/seat/month vs $15). It is designed for the activities that happen before and around design work — brainstorming, affinity mapping, retrospectives, workshop facilitation, and journey mapping — rather than as a design tool itself. The tight Figma integration is the real value proposition: you can link FigJam boards to Figma files so design artefacts and the thinking behind them live in the same workspace. Built-in templates cover common UX research and workshop formats, and emoji reactions and cursor chat make remote workshops feel less formal. Its biggest weakness relative to Miro is a shallower template library and no advanced diagramming.
