Miro vs FigJam for Product Workshops (2026)
Product teams run workshops for roadmap planning, design sprints, retrospectives, and strategy sessions. Miro and FigJam are the two leading whiteboard tools for these activities.
This guide compares them for product workshop use cases.
Miro
Miro is the most comprehensive whiteboard platform: facilitation tools (timers, voting, attention management), a large template library, and integrations with product tools. It is the standard for facilitated workshops.
FigJam
FigJam is Figma free whiteboard. It is simpler than Miro but native to the Figma ecosystem. For teams already using Figma, FigJam provides quick whiteboarding without a separate tool.
