An honest 2026 comparison of Miro and Zoom Whiteboard (features, templates, integrations, pricing and total cost) from a Zoom Certified Integrator.
If your organisation already uses Zoom for meetings or phone, Zoom Whiteboard is the better choice. It's included in Zoom Workplace, native to your meetings, and lives under one admin console and one AI Companion, with no separate per-seat whiteboard bill. Miro is far more mature, with a vast template library, deep integrations and advanced facilitation features, so dedicated whiteboard power users will prefer it. For most organisations consolidating their communications stack, Zoom Whiteboard is good enough for everyday collaboration and wins on cost and simplicity, and your Miro boards can come with you.

Head to head
Maturity & depth. Miro is the category leader for visual collaboration, with years of features dedicated whiteboard power users rely on.
Vast template library. Hundreds of ready-made frameworks for workshops, mapping, retros and planning, far beyond Zoom Whiteboard's starter set.
Deep integrations & facilitation. Extensive third-party integrations and advanced facilitation tools (voting, timers, complex frameworks) make Miro the choice for heavy, workshop-driven teams.
One platform, one bill. Zoom Whiteboard is included in Zoom Workplace. Teams already paying for Zoom Meetings or Phone get whiteboarding at no extra per-seat cost, removing the Miro subscription entirely.
Native to meetings. Open and co-edit a whiteboard inside a live Zoom meeting in one click, no connector, no screen-share workaround.
Unified admin & security. One admin console, one identity provider, one set of compliance and retention policies across whiteboard, meetings, phone and chat.
Good enough for most collaboration. For everyday brainstorming, diagramming and meeting whiteboards, Zoom Whiteboard covers what most teams actually use, without a second tool to govern.
The decisive factor for most teams is the bundle. Miro is billed per user as a separate line item. Zoom Whiteboard is part of Zoom Workplace, so if you already license Zoom Meetings or Zoom Phone you are likely already paying for whiteboarding, keeping Miro means paying twice for overlapping capability. Consolidating boards into Zoom typically removes a full subscription and simplifies vendor management.
Moving is straightforward with the right partner. A Zoom Certified Integrator migrates your Miro boards, shapes, sticky notes, connectors and members into Zoom Whiteboard, boards come with you, though fidelity varies and dense boards may need cleanup.
