How we compiled this
Prices fetched June 2026 from each vendor's official pricing page. Where the official page returned only JS-rendered content (Lucidchart's lucid.app redirect, Figma annual toggle), the primary data came from that official URL but confirmed via a reputable third-party review source (GetApp, SoftwareAdvice) noted as corroboration. draw.io is free/open-source (Apache 2.0) with no paid tiers. Whimsical advertises '17% off' for annual billing but does not display the exact annual price on the page; the per-month annual rates are computed as round-number estimates and flagged in notes. Figma's Organization and Enterprise plans are annual-only; no monthly-billed equivalent is offered. All telephony fields (minutesIncluded, callsIncluded, overagePerMin, overagePerCall) are null throughout as this is a non-telephony vertical.
Last verified 2026-06-15. We re-check published prices and compliance on a recurring cadence and update this page when they change.
