Lucidchart
Intelligent diagramming platform for flowcharts, wireframes, and technical diagrams.
Overview
Lucidchart is a intelligent diagramming platform for flowcharts, wireframes, and technical diagrams. It handles flowcharts, real-time collab, templates, and integrations, and it's best suited for teams wanting professional diagramming and flowcharts. It has been around since 2010, giving it a 16-year head start in building out integrations and refining the product.
The free plan is free for 3 documents — enough for most people to evaluate whether it fits.
Strengths
