10 Online Whiteboard Tools for Small Business in 2026

From free sketching to paid team workspaces, here is what each whiteboard offers and where it falls short.

An online whiteboard lets a team brainstorm, map a process or run a workshop without being in the same room. These ten tools range from free apps to paid team workspaces. Prices come from each maker's own site today, and some do not publish every figure.

An infinite canvas with docs, tables, slides, diagrams and more than 6,000 templates, plus connections to over 250 apps. Zapier and Tech.co both rank it first. The catch: the free plan keeps only three boards editable.

How we picked

We checked each tool on its maker's own site for features and pricing, and leaned on the whiteboard roundups from Zapier and Tech.co to decide which tools belong on a small-business shortlist. Where a maker's page did not show a price we could read, we left the price out. The order puts the widely recommended all-rounders first, then specialist tools.
