Miro plans and user roles

This article is about Miro's Free, Starter, Business, Enterprise and Education plans and the member, guest and visitor roles that decide who needs a paid seat. For billing mechanics see Miro self-serve billing and true-ups; for Enterprise license types see Miro Enterprise licenses and the Flexible Licensing Program.

On This Page

Miro plans are the subscription tiers under which Miro sells its visual collaboration platform. Each plan sets the features available to a team and how users are counted. The licensing question in every plan is which people are members, because only members consume paid seats. Guests and visitors can work on boards without a seat.[1][2] This article describes the plans and roles. Billing is covered in Miro self-serve billing and true-ups. Enterprise license types are covered in Miro Enterprise licenses and the Flexible Licensing Program.

Editions

Free

The Free plan costs nothing and has no limit on team members. Users can create and share unlimited boards, but only the three most recent stay editable.[1] The help center describes it as a sandbox. All invited users join the team as editors and see every board, because the plan has no private boards.[3] The Free plan has no guest role. Visitors on a public link can only view.[1][5] Catalog proof: Free plan has no guest role.

Starter

Starter lists at USD 8 per member per month, billed yearly. It adds unlimited and private boards, visitor editing, high-resolution exports, spaces and blueprints, 25 AI credits per member per month and 500 MCP calls per day.[1] The help center calls it the most popular paid plan for teams of up to 50 users. It lists a minimum purchase of two licenses, billed monthly or yearly.[3] Starter includes limited AI Workflows: 5 Flow runs per team member and limited Sidekicks.[6]

Business

Business lists at USD 20 per member per month, billed yearly. It adds unlimited workspaces, unlimited guests, SSO, specialised diagramming shapes, data tables, Engage activities, interactive prototypes, AI workflows and agents, two-way integrations, user groups, 50 AI credits per member per month and 2,000 MCP calls per day.[1][7] A 14-day free trial is offered.[1] From 2026-06-29, Miro Prototypes moved from a paid add-on into the Business plan, and Miro Engage left its free beta for the Business plan. Starter customers and Business plans bought before the change (labelled “Business (Legacy)”) must upgrade to keep these features.[10] Catalog proof: Prototypes and Engage included in Business from 2026-06-29.

Enterprise

Enterprise has custom pricing from 30 members. It adds licenses “designed to match the specific needs of your organization”, enforced SSO, audit logs, domain control, regional data hosting, centralised user management, admin controls for AI, SCIM provisioning and at least 2,500 AI credits per month pooled org-wide.[1] The help center adds multiple teams in one subscription, Flexible Licensing after the initial purchase, offline invoicing for purchase orders and a dedicated account manager.[9] Enterprise users hold Accelerate, Collaborate, Free or Free Restricted licenses, described in the Enterprise article.

Education

The Education plan is free for staff and students of accredited educational institutions. Training programmes, vocational schools, churches, hospitals, public libraries and research laboratories do not qualify. It is valid indefinitely for educators with up to 100 members in a team, and for two years for students with up to 10 members. Each email may hold one Education team, and each team has one Team Admin.[8] Nonprofits and startups have separate offers.[1] Catalog proof: Education plan team limits.

Metrics

Member

A member is a full team participant. Members “consume a paid seat. They have full access to the plan features and can create their own boards and content.”[1] The help center says the same: “In Miro, you pay for every team member”, and each paid member has the rights to create boards and add or edit content.[3] It advises buying licenses only for people who will keep collaborating regularly, and using guests or visitors for one-off workshops.[3] Catalog proof: Starter and Business charge for every member.

Guest

A guest has a free Miro account, does not consume a paid seat, and is invited to specific boards only.[1] Guests must sign in. Their access does not expire until removed. “Adding guests is free of charge and there is no limit to the number of guests you can add.”[4] Guests cannot create boards, change sharing settings, see team members or open team boards. They can request member access.[4]

Visitor

A visitor opens a public board link and needs no Miro account. Visitors cannot create boards, take part in spaces or see team-shared boards.[2] Visitors with edit access get a reduced toolbar. They cannot rename boards, change sharing, start video chat or voting, or open other boards.[5]

Sources: pricing comparison[1], guests[4] and visitors.[5] The pricing page comparison shows guests as not included on Starter. The help center lists Starter guests with view or comment access, so the two sources disagree on this point.[1][6] Catalog proof: Guests who can edit require Business or Enterprise; Visitors can only view on the Free plan; Guests and visitors do not consume a paid seat.

Counting / floors

Who triggers a seat. On paid plans, a license is added to the subscription automatically when an invitee accepts an invitation from an existing team member, including an admin.[11] Admins can restrict invitations to admins only. Miro warns that if anyone may invite new users, “then anyone can incur new licenses added to your subscription”. On Starter and Education, an edit invitation from a non-admin member makes the invitee a guest or commenter until an admin approves edit access.[11] Catalog proof: Accepted invitations add a license on paid plans.

Upgrading a whole team. When a team is upgraded from Free, every member of the team gets paid features. To buy fewer licenses, extra users must be removed from the team.[6] The Free plan has no guest role, and the pricing FAQ says anyone invited “automatically becomes a Member and uses a paid seat”.[1] A Free team with many casual editors therefore needs a seat for each of them on upgrade, unless they are first converted to guests or removed. On Starter, admins can see Full, Trial and Free members and guests in Subscription details.[13]

Floors. Starter and Business have a minimum purchase of two licenses.[3] Enterprise starts from 30 members.[1] Catalog proof: Self-serve plans have a two-license minimum purchase.

Account ownership. Under the Terms of Service, only Users may access the Service, and each must keep credentials confidential.[12] A person who registers with an employer’s email address acknowledges that the employer may take control of the account as the Customer.[12] This lets an organisation bring individual sign-ups into its managed subscription. Catalog proof: Accounts registered with a corporate email can be taken over by the employer.

Virtualization & partitioning

Not applicable. Miro is a cloud service licensed per user, and no device, processor or virtual-machine metric applies. A subscription is attached to a team. Business and Enterprise can hold multiple teams in one subscription, and one user can be a member of several teams and so of several subscriptions.[3]

Cloud / BYOL

Not applicable. The service is hosted by Miro only. Regional data residency is an Enterprise feature, with EU residency listed on all plans.[1]

Programs

  • Business plan 14-day trial. Free and Starter users can trial Business. The trial converts to a paid subscription unless cancelled. See Miro self-serve billing and true-ups.
  • Education plan, nonprofit discount and Miro for Startups. Startups with fewer than 30 employees and no current paid subscription can receive credits of USD 1,000 (through a partner) or USD 500 (independent). Venture-backed companies can apply for a 25% Enterprise discount.[1]
