Overview

Mural overview: who it is for and what it does.

Mural is built around structured, facilitated collaboration rather than free-form whiteboarding. Its pricing page and independent reviews describe a guided visual collaboration platform for structured teamwork: an infinite and resizable canvas, a full template library, member-built custom templates, and facilitation features for running remote workshops. Business and Enterprise plans include the LUMA System, a structured framework for innovation and problem-solving. Toolradar describes it as best for collaborative teams and enterprises needing robust visual collaboration, and aggregators list ratings around 4.5 out of 5.

Pricing is per member per month. The free plan includes all visual collaboration and facilitation features, the full template library, unlimited members, unlimited view-only visitors, open rooms and the first 3 murals. Team+ at $9.99 per member per month billed annually ($12 or $12.99 monthly, depending on source) adds unlimited editable murals, unlimited visitors with editing rights, private rooms, Mural AI and basic integrations such as Zoom and Webex. Business at $17.99 per member billed annually only adds SAML 2.0 SSO and unlimited external collaboration, and Enterprise adds SCIM, audit logs and custom terms. USAGE Pricing reports that Mural removed Business's earlier 10-member minimum and bundled Mural AI into Team+ and above.

Compared with Miro, a CASRAI analysis finds Mural Business at $17.99 undercuts Miro Business at $20 per member, and that Mural Team+ includes unlimited editing visitors and AI that Miro unlocks only on Business. The trade-offs: the free plan caps editable murals at 3, SSO and unlimited external guests need Business, and CostBench warns that implementation, training and support can add 30 to 60 percent to the base licence for larger deals. Sources differ on the Team+ monthly price ($12 versus $12.99), so confirm at checkout.
