Ziteboard review

Ziteboard is a browser-based whiteboard for tutoring, distance learning and remote teamwork. People can collaborate on the same infinite canvas from different locations and devices, using it for lessons, brainstorming, plans, wireframes or prototypes. It is a focused workspace, not a full project-management suite.

The board supports in-app voice and video calls; students can join calls with Free accounts. Its math tools cover formulas, graph plotting and geometry shapes such as circles and arcs. You can import images or selected pages and page ranges from PDFs, then export the visible screen as a PNG, a board as SVG, or formatted pages as a PDF. That makes Ziteboard a practical fit when a session depends on drawing, explaining or marking up material together. The trade-off is straightforward: its value rests on the whiteboard and collaboration features, rather than a wider set of work-management tools.

Ziteboard keeps the core use case clear: open a shared canvas, explain an idea visually and work on it together. The infinite workspace suits lessons and planning that do not fit neatly on one page. Math tools, PDF page imports and image support are especially relevant for teaching, where a tutor may need to work through a formula, graph or document in real time.

The pricing also gives occasional users a way to avoid a full subscription. The Starter plan is free and includes three owned boards, unlimited shared whiteboards and unlimited real-time collaborators, though traffic is limited. One Week Pro costs $5 once and provides Pro features for a week. Monthly Pro is $9 per month; Annual Pro is $85 per year, equivalent to about $7.08 per month, according to the published pricing information. Pro inclusions listed include unlimited owned boards, unlimited data traffic and high-quality image import. Teams have per-user pricing, with listed monthly rates from $8 for 2–5 subscriptions to $5.50 for 21–100. Board exports in PNG, SVG and PDF add useful ways to keep or share session work.

The free plan has concrete limits: three owned boards, only three basic colors and limited data traffic. “Limited” is not given a numeric allowance, so it is hard to judge whether the free tier will last for frequent or image-heavy use. Unlimited shared whiteboards and collaborators do not remove those other caps.

Pro pricing is simple for one person, but the team rates vary by seat count and billing period. The listed team rates are $8 per user per month for 2–5 subscriptions, $6.50 for 6–20 and $5.50 for 21–100; lower rates apply for six-month or one-year terms. Enterprise pricing is custom, and the fee for the Anonymous Whiteboard add-on is not published. That add-on requires an active Pro account and covers up to 10–15 anonymous users per month; larger groups need a quote.

There is also a connectivity caveat, not proof of a general outage: a Reddit thread describes Comcast/Xfinity users reporting HTTPS failures with Ziteboard domains. The operator said Xfinity found no Advanced Security block, so the cause remains unclear.

Ziteboard has a free Starter plan, but it limits you to 3 owned boards, 3 basic colors and limited data traffic. Shared whiteboards and real-time collaborators are unlimited, according to the pricing details checked November 7, 2026.

The cheapest paid option is One Week Pro: $5 once for a week of Pro features. Monthly Pro costs $9 per month; Annual Pro is $85 per year, or about $7.08 monthly. That’s the main billing trade-off: pay more month to month, or commit for a year. The team plans start at $8 per user monthly for 2–5 subscriptions, with lower per-user rates for longer terms: $7 for six months or $6.50 for a year. Larger teams have lower listed rates, down to $4.50 per user monthly for 21–100 subscriptions on a one-year term.

Enterprise pricing is custom. The Anonymous Whiteboard add-on requires an active Pro account, but its fee is not published; above 10–15 anonymous users per month, Ziteboard asks you to request a quote.

Moving work into Ziteboard may mean rebuilding boards: the published materials list image and PDF import, including specified PDF pages or ranges, but don’t describe a tool for importing boards from another whiteboard. Ziteboard supports exports as PNG for the visible screen, SVG for the board, and PDF for formatted pages. Monthly Pro includes backup export; the materials don’t specify whether that export is available on every plan or what it contains.

Before switching away, check that those export formats preserve what your team needs. The descriptions distinguish the visible screen, the board and formatted pages, so don’t assume one file is a complete, editable archive of everything. Enterprise includes a REST API, but the published details don’t say what data it exposes or whether it helps with migration. We have no Reddit reports in the published material to substantiate why users leave Ziteboard, so we can’t identify a reported switching trigger or describe migration experiences.
