The fundamental difference

Miro is the world's whiteboard. An infinite canvas where anyone can drop a sticky note, draw an arrow, run a workshop, vote on ideas, and present out the result. Since 2011, design teams, product teams, agile coaches, and consultancies have made Miro the default surface for visual collaboration. It does one thing — the canvas — and does it brilliantly.

Taskade Genesis takes the visual-collaboration premise and asks a different question: what if the brainstorm you ran on Tuesday could become a working application by Friday? Mind Map view captures the same affinity-mapping session you'd run in Miro. Then the same data flows into a Table view as structured rows, into a Board view as kanban tasks, into a Gantt view as a timeline, and into Genesis as the prompt that ships a deployed app — with AI agents that read the brainstorm and execute the work.

Miro asks: "What's on the wall?" Genesis asks: "What's on the wall, and how do we ship it?"

What is Taskade Genesis?

Taskade Genesis is the AI app builder inside the Taskade workspace. It is built on Workspace DNA — Memory (Projects), Intelligence (AI Agents), and Execution (Automations) — a self-reinforcing loop where what your team brainstorms becomes the substrate every agent and automation reads from. Founded by John Xie, Dionis Loire, and Stan Chang in 2017, Taskade is a Y Combinator-backed platform with over a million users and a public Community Gallery of apps anyone can clone.

Taskade includes seven project views — List, Board, Calendar, Table, Mind Map, Gantt, and Org Chart — and a single prompt to Genesis can turn any of them into a deployed application with AI agents, automations, custom domains, and the option to embed publicly through GenesisAuth. The Mind Map and Org Chart views are the natural landing spots for visual brainstorms; everything else is the execution layer that follows.

Taskade is for product managers, designers, founders, ops teams, marketing teams, and engineers — anyone whose work starts as a visual brainstorm and needs to end as something that ships.

What is Miro?

Miro is a collaborative whiteboard founded by Andrey Khusid and Oleg Shardin in 2011. The product is one big infinite canvas that any number of people can edit at the same time. Sticky notes, arrows, frames, drawings, voting, timers, presenter mode, and 2500+ templates make it the de facto standard for design sprints, retros, brainstorms, workshops, and customer-journey mapping.

Miro at a glance: Free tier with 3 editable boards, unlimited team members. Starter at $8/user/month annual unlocks unlimited boards, custom templates, and project folders. Business at $16/user/month annual adds SSO, advanced security, and unlimited day passes for guests. Enterprise is custom-priced with advanced governance. Native apps for web, macOS, Windows, iOS, and Android. Miro AI (introduced 2023) generates diagrams, summaries, and clusters sticky notes. Integrations include Jira, Confluence, Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Asana, Figma, Slack, and Google Workspace.

Miro's beloved features are the canvas primitives done right: real-time multiplayer with cursors and video chat, voting and timers for workshop facilitation, frames that act as slides, presenter mode that pans the canvas, and integrations with Jira and Figma that turn the whiteboard into a hub for design and product teams.

Miro is, deservedly, the visual-collaboration default for tens of millions of users at companies like Netflix, Cisco, Deloitte, and Spotify. It is also unapologetically a single-purpose tool: a board is what you get, and a board is what you keep.

Feature-by-feature deep dive

Visual brainstorming surface

• Taskade offers Mind Map view (radial node tree), Org Chart view (top-down hierarchy), and Board view (kanban with sticky cards). Every node is also a row in a Table view, a card on a Board, and a bullet in the List view — the same data, rendered every way.
• Miro offers a single infinite canvas with sticky notes, freehand drawing, arrows, shapes, frames, and 2500+ templates. The canvas is the product.

AI features and agents

• Taskade ships AI Agents v2 — first-class digital teammates with persistent memory across projects, 22+ built-in tools (web search, file analysis, project management, image generation, code execution, and more), custom tools you define, and the ability to be embedded publicly inside Genesis Apps.
• Miro ships Miro AI — an in-board assistant that generates diagrams from prompts, summarizes sticky-note clusters, and helps cluster ideas. It lives inside a board. It is not an agent platform — it does not persist memory across boards, expose tools to teammates, or run on a schedule.

Workflow automations and integrations

• Taskade includes production-grade durable Automations with branching, looping, and filtering across 100+ bidirectional integrations. Triggers pull external events in (Slack messages, Gmail, Sheets rows, Calendly events, webhooks). Actions push data out (Stripe checkouts, Shopify orders, Notion syncs, Salesforce updates, GitHub PRs).
• Miro has a strong integration list (Jira, Confluence, Zoom, Teams, Asana, Figma, Slack, Google Workspace) and a Miro Apps marketplace. There is no native workflow automation runtime — automations are typically built in Zapier or Make and pointed at a Miro board.

Building deployed apps

• Taskade Genesis turns a single prompt — or a Mind Map you just finished brainstorming — into a deployed application with UI, data model, AI agents, and automations connected. The output runs at a shareable URL.
• Miro does not build apps. The output is a board, optionally exported to PDF, image, or CSV.

Real-time collaboration and facilitation

• Miro is the gold standard for synchronous workshops: presenter mode, voting, timers, breakout frames, and built-in video chat make running a 30-person design sprint smooth. This is Miro's home turf.
• Taskade has real-time multiplayer, comments, chat, and video calls. It is excellent for async-first teams and ongoing project work. For a one-shot 90-minute sticky-note workshop with 25 people, Miro is purpose-built and Taskade is not.

Permissions and governance

• Taskade offers granular 7-tier role-based access (Owner, Maintainer, Editor, Commenter, Collaborator, Participant, Viewer) on every workspace, folder, and project.
• Miro offers member, editor, commenter, and viewer roles plus board-level permissions. Enterprise tier adds SSO, SCIM, and advanced governance.

The Workspace DNA advantage

Miro's mental model is "the canvas is enough." Genesis's mental model is Workspace DNA: a self-reinforcing loop between three pillars.

• Memory (Projects) — Your team's brainstorms, mind maps, tasks, and structured data become the substrate every agent reasons over. The longer you work, the smarter the workspace gets.
• Intelligence (Agents) — Custom AI Agents with persistent memory, 22+ built-in tools, and the ability to call out to MCP servers or your own custom tools. An agent can read your Mind Map, identify the next 5 actions, and start executing them.
• Execution (Automations) — Durable workflows triggered by external events (Slack, Gmail, Stripe, GitHub, Calendly, webhooks, schedules) that read from Memory and act through Intelligence — then write the results back into Memory. The brainstorm closes its own loop.

Miro is brilliant at one slice of this loop — capturing visual thought on a canvas. Genesis runs the entire loop continuously, so the affinity-mapping session you ran on Tuesday is the database your AI agent queries on Wednesday and the deployed customer-feedback portal you ship on Friday.

Pricing and total cost of ownership

Plan	Taskade Genesis	Miro
Free	Free Forever — unlimited projects	Free — 3 editable boards, unlimited members
Entry paid	Starter $6/month annual (3 seats)	Starter $8/user/month annual (unlimited boards)
Pro	$16/month annual — 10 seats, unlimited apps	Business $16/user/month annual (SSO, security)
Business	$40/month — unlimited seats, higher AI capacity	Business $16/user/month annual
Max	$200/month — maximum AI generation capacity	N/A
Enterprise	$400/month with custom SLA	Custom-priced

Miro's free tier (3 boards) is constraining the moment a team gets serious. Starter at $8/user/month is reasonable for what Miro does, but the per-seat math compounds quickly: a 10-person product team on Business is $160/month, a 50-person org is $800/month. That price gets you whiteboards. It does not get you agents, automations, integrations, or shipped apps.

Taskade Pro at $16/month flat for 10 seats includes Mind Map and 6 other views, plus AI Agents v2, plus durable automations, plus 100+ bidirectional integrations, plus deployed Genesis Apps with custom domains. The cost calculus tilts heavily toward Taskade once your needs extend past "we need a whiteboard."

Where Miro has the edge

Honesty matters. Miro beats Taskade on four things:

1. Infinite free-form canvas. No structured-view layer. Just a canvas where you can drop a sticky note anywhere and connect anything to anything. For pure visual ideation, this freedom is the whole point.
2. Workshop facilitation. Voting, timers, presenter mode, breakout frames, and real-time video chat make a 30-person design sprint smooth. Miro is purpose-built for synchronous facilitated sessions.
3. Templates and ecosystem. 2500+ board templates, the Miro Apps marketplace, and tight integrations with Jira, Confluence, and Figma make it the canonical hub for design and product teams in many enterprises.
4. Drawing and freehand. Stylus support, freehand drawing, sketches, and the ability to literally doodle on the canvas are first-class. Taskade's visual views are structured nodes, not free pixels.

If your single, highest-priority need is "the best visual whiteboard for synchronous workshops," Miro is the right answer. Taskade does not pretend otherwise.

What users say

Miro has a deserved reputation as the default whiteboard for serious teams. Recurring themes across r/UXDesign, r/ProductManagement, and Hacker News:

• "The only whiteboard tool that actually scales to 50 people in real time." — appears in nearly every Miro thread.
• "Best Jira and Figma integrations of any visual tool." — agile and design teams love this.
• "Per-seat pricing gets expensive fast." — the most common gripe at scale.
• "Boards live in Miro, the work lives somewhere else." — the structural critique.

Genesis users are usually the same teams a few months later. They show up because the Miro brainstorm produced great ideas — and they want a place where the ideas actually become a project, an agent, or a deployed app. Browse the Community Gallery to see what Genesis builders have shipped.

When to choose each

Choose Miro if:

• Your team runs synchronous design sprints, retros, or workshops with 10+ people.
• You need an infinite free-form canvas with sticky notes, arrows, and freehand drawing.
• Voting, timers, presenter mode, and breakout frames matter for your facilitation.
• You want best-in-class Jira, Confluence, and Figma integrations.
• The brainstorm IS the deliverable.

Choose Taskade Genesis if:

• You want the brainstorm to become a project, an automation, or a deployed app.
• You need 7 project views — Mind Map for the brainstorm plus List, Board, Calendar, Table, Gantt, and Org Chart for execution.
• You want AI Agents v2 with persistent memory, 22+ tools, and public embedding.
• You need workflow automations across Slack, Gmail, Stripe, Salesforce, Notion, and 100+ other integrations.
• You want one flat subscription that includes hosting, agents, automations, and team collaboration.

Use both if: Many product and design teams brainstorm in Miro and then move the structured outcome — roadmap, action items, OKRs — into Taskade as a Mind Map or Board, where AI Agents pick up the work and Automations keep it moving. The two coexist gracefully.

Frequently asked questions

Is Taskade Genesis a good alternative to Miro?

Yes — if you want visual brainstorming plus 6 other project views, AI agents, automations, integrations, and the ability to ship the brainstorm as a deployed app. If you only want a whiteboard for synchronous workshops, Miro is purpose-built.

Does Taskade have an infinite canvas?

Not in the Miro sense. Taskade has Mind Map, Org Chart, and Board views — structured visual surfaces over the same project data. The free-form canvas with stickies anywhere is Miro's territory.

Can Taskade run AI agents on a brainstorm?

Yes. AI Agents v2 with persistent memory and 22+ built-in tools can read every node in a Mind Map, summarize the brainstorm, and execute the next steps via automations.

Does Taskade include workflow automations?

Yes — production-grade durable automations across 100+ bidirectional integrations. Miro relies on Zapier and Miro Apps for automation.

Which is cheaper?

Taskade Pro at $16/month flat for 10 seats is dramatically cheaper than Miro Business at $16/user/month annual once a team has more than 1 person.
