Our Verdict

Different jobs — depends on your workflow

Choose Miro if:

—You need professional UI/UX design, prototyping, and design systems
—You want design and whiteboarding from the same vendor (Figma + FigJam)
—Your primary need is product design, not brainstorming

Choose Figma if:

—You need a dedicated whiteboarding tool for workshops and brainstorming
—You run retrospectives, sprint planning, or design thinking sessions
—You need sticky notes, voting, timers, and facilitation features

The biggest difference: Miro is a dedicated infinite canvas for workshops, brainstorming, and planning; Figma is a professional design tool with FigJam as a lightweight whiteboard companion
