Miro alternative for agile teamsKeep the canvas. Ship the work.

As captured from miro.com on July 29, 2026: Free is $0 ("For small teams getting started with Miro"); Starter is $8 per member/month billed yearly; Business is $20 per member/month billed yearly; Enterprise is custom pricing from 30 members, behind "Contact sales". Monthly (non-annual) prices were not shown on the page at capture — the billing toggle read "Yearly (save 20%)" — so every figure here is the annual-billing price. Miro's pricing FAQ offers a free 14-day trial of the Business plan.

The comparison that matters for an agile team of five: Miro Business comes to $100 a month (5 × $20, billed yearly), and delivery metrics, a wiki, and a dedicated retrospectives module do not appear in Miro's published feature list at any tier (checked July 29, 2026). And that $100 buys the whiteboard alone — the tracker your stickies become tickets in is a separate product with a separate bill. AgileHero Pro is $39 a month for the same five people — $12 base plus $9 for each seat beyond the two free ones — and those modules are the point, not add-ons. Yearly billing is roughly two months cheaper, every Pro module has a 14-day trial without a card, and if you ever cancel, your data stays — premium modules are paywalled on downgrade, never erased.

Miro does offer retrospectives — as templates on a board. The example its pages record is the "Quick Retrospective" template on Miro Lite, Miro's separate free no-registration whiteboard, and Miro's MCP documentation lists "retros" among the structured boards an agent can build (both captured July 29, 2026). A template gives you columns, and Miro sells the workshop pieces alongside — team voting and a built-in music timer from Starter up (captured July 29, 2026). The ritual also needs somewhere for the action items to go afterwards.

AgileHero's retrospectives are a purpose-built Pro module rather than a template: six ready-made columns — one predefined format, deliberately — a shared synchronized timer, dot-voting, and last retro's action items carried forward to the next one, in the same product as the board the sprint ran on. No dedicated retrospectives module appears in Miro's own published feature list (checked July 29, 2026).

The Miro kanban board is real: "Tables, Timeline, & Kanban" are canvas formats on every plan, including Free (miro.com/pricing, captured July 29, 2026). But Miro's published answer for turning planning into tracked work is the Miro Jira integration — the Jira Cards app: "Turn sticky notes and native Miro Cards into Jira Cards to create Jira issues", with two-way sync of fields like status, assignee, and priority (captured July 29, 2026). The Business plan card makes the same shape explicit: "Plan sprints and roadmaps on your canvas with Jira, Asana, Linear, ClickUp, Azure, and more with two-way sync included". It is a genuinely good integration — and it assumes a second product, with its own tab, its own permissions, and its own bill. A dedicated backlog is not in Miro's published feature list either (checked July 29, 2026); on its pages, epics and stories appear as mirrored Jira objects.

AgileHero's whiteboard and board share one data model. One click turns a sticky note into a card, a frame into an epic, and a whole mind map into an epic with cards — landing on your own backlog and board, under the same subscription, kept in sync in real time. The retro that follows the sprint and the metrics that measure it read the same cards. If you searched for a Miro Jira integration, this is the other way to hold the question: not a bridge between two tools, but one tool.

The Miro pages we track publish no cancellation or refund walkthrough (checked July 29, 2026), so the honest version is generic: billing is managed in your plan settings, prices are billed yearly, so check your renewal date before it rolls over, and export what you need while your plan is active. One recorded detail worth knowing before a downgrade: on Miro's Free plan you can create and share unlimited boards, but the three most recent ones remain editable (miro.com/pricing, captured July 29, 2026) — check which boards your team still needs to edit.

Starting on AgileHero takes minutes: a working workspace, project, and board exist the moment you sign up. There is no one-click Miro import — we would rather say that plainly than surprise you. Recreate the boards you actively use, or connect an AI assistant over MCP and let it create and organize the cards and epics for you. Two seats are free forever; the whiteboard, retrospectives, roadmap, metrics, and wiki are Pro modules, and every one of them is in the 14-day trial, no credit card required.
