Miro
A collaborative visual canvas for ideas, diagrams, and workshops, with three editable boards on the free plan.

Notion combines text pages, databases, and project organisation in one workspace. For a designer, it can hold briefs, links, tasks, and presentation notes. You can shape its structure around your process instead of forcing every project into one rigid template. For example, create a client page with the brief, a list of required materials, and a project database with statuses. Keep reference links and discussion summaries nearby. This puts the context beside the work and makes it easier to recover a useful decision later. The Free plan allows unlimited pages and blocks for an individual user. Workspaces with multiple members have different limits. At verification, individual file uploads are limited to 5 MB and page history covers seven days. These details matter if you expect to store large design deliverables directly in the workspace. You can also publish pages to the web and use basic forms. Check permissions and confidential content before sharing a client page. Keep important source files organised separately and maintain appropriate backups rather than treating a project page as your only archive. Expanded collaboration and some other features require paid plans. Notion AI has trial access on Free, so it should not be presented as unlimited free AI. Marketplace templates may also have their own prices and usage conditions.
The personal Free plan has limits on files, history, and collaboration. Notion AI on Free is trial access. Marketplace templates may have separate paid terms.
