AWW App’s standalone service is discontinued, so this is a replacement search rather than a feature-for-feature migration. We’ve compared current options by the work they suit: shared planning, sketching, workshops, diagrams, and Figma-based collaboration. Prices below are the listed starting prices, not a promise of your team’s total; some plans charge per member or editor. The published material doesn’t document AWW App export or import support, so verify how existing boards can be moved before you commit.
01Why people leave AWW App
Service discontinued
AWW App is described as a discontinued standalone service, so it is no longer a current option for teams seeking an active whiteboard.
Need an active replacement
If your team still needs shared canvases, the alternatives cover planning, sketching, workshops, and diagrams; AWW App is now historical context.
Migration details are unclear
The published material gives no AWW App export or import details. Check board portability before choosing a replacement.
02The alternatives, ranked by fit
- Collaborative planning
MiroMiroMiro is a strong general replacement if your team used AWW App for shared planning: it supports work on shared canvases, diagrams, and roadmaps. The listed starting price is $8, with a free plan. That free plan is capped at three editable boards, and paid pricing is per member, so calculate the cost for your whole team before moving in.
Trade-off: The free plan stops at three editable boards; paid pricing is per member.

$8/mofree plan - Free sketching
ExcalidrawExcalidrawExcalidraw suits teams that want a straightforward sketching canvas for quick wireframes, workflows, or solo diagrams. The published notes describe it as a strong free sketching option, with a listed starting price of $6. Teams needing unlimited scenes and folders need Plus, so check whether those limits fit your typical work before switching.
Trade-off: Teams need Plus for unlimited scenes and folders.
7.6/10from
$6/mofree plan - Collaborative brainstorms
LucidsparkLucidsparkLucidspark is a fit if AWW App was where your team brainstormed or planned workshops together. It is positioned for collaborative ideation and project work, and can connect ideas to tasks for Lucid users. The listed starting price is $9, with a free plan; it may be less attractive if avoiding a price increase is your main reason for leaving.
Trade-off: Less compelling if the free plan or price increase is the sticking point.
7.5/10from
$9/mofree plan - Visual workshops
MuralMuralMural is worth considering if your AWW App sessions were structured team workshops. It is built for visual workshops and frequent collaborators, and the listed starting price is $9.99 with a free plan. The published material flags a mural cap and full team cost as things to check, but doesn’t give the cap amount.
Trade-off: Check the free-plan cap and full team cost; the cap amount isn’t supplied.
6.6/10from
$9.99/mofree plan - Diagrams and wireframes
WhimsicalWhimsicalWhimsical is a practical switch if you mainly need shared diagrams, quick wireframes, or a place for product teams to map ideas. It has a free plan and a listed starting price of $10. Its pricing is per editor, so work out how many people need editing access before treating that starting price as your team’s cost.
Trade-off: Per-editor pricing can raise the cost as more people need access.
7.2/10from
$10/mofree plan - Figma team workshops
FigJamFigJamFigJam makes most sense if your team already works in Figma and wants a canvas for product workshops or visual planning. The listed starting price is $3, and the published notes call out free entry. Check seat costs and whether its feature set covers your needs before switching; the notes also flag feature gaps compared with Miro.
Trade-off: Check seat costs and the noted Miro feature gaps before switching.
6.7/10from
$3/mofree plan - Quick shared sketches
Whiteboard FoxWhiteboard FoxWhiteboard Fox is aimed at quick collaborative sketches and browser-based drawing sessions, making it a simple option if that was your main use for AWW App. It has a free plan and a listed starting price of $7.90. The published notes also point to simple permissions, but warn against using it casually for sensitive work.
Trade-off: Think twice about sensitive work, and check the plan limits.

Questions people ask
Can I transfer my AWW App boards to another whiteboard?
The published material doesn’t say whether AWW App supports exports or whether these alternatives can import its boards. Check for an export option and test a copy before committing. None of the listed alternatives is documented here as an AWW App importer.
Which AWW App alternative has a free plan?
All seven options listed here have a free plan in the published material. Excalidraw is described as a strong free sketching canvas, while Miro’s free plan is capped at three editable boards. Free-plan limits for the other options aren’t specified here.
Which alternative is best for collaborative planning?
Miro is the clearest fit for teams planning on shared canvases, using diagrams, or building roadmaps. Lucidspark suits collaborative brainstorms and workshop planning, particularly for Lucid users connecting ideas to tasks. Compare the listed starting prices with your team’s likely per-member or per-editor costs.
