Coggle Review: Pricing, Pros, Cons & Alternatives

Overview

Coggle is a browser-based mind mapping and diagram tool from CoggleIt Limited, a company registered in England and Wales under number 9030487; Coggle is a registered trademark in the US and EU^[14].

Its free plan is notably complete: three private diagrams and unlimited public diagrams, real-time collaboration, sharing by link or QR code, more than 1,600 icons, unlimited image uploads, auto-arrange, full change history, PDF and image download, calculations, import and export of FreeMind .mm and text files, Visio export, multiple start points in one diagram, shared folders, embedding and collaboration by email^[14]. The Awesome plan adds unlimited private diagrams, more node shapes, control over line style and paths, text alignment, full chat history and high-resolution image uploads. The Organisation plan adds SAML single sign-on, a separate personal workspace, consolidated billing, bulk export, user and data management and branded diagrams. Enterprise customers can request on-premise instances, Active Directory authentication and site licences^[14].

Coggle’s strengths are simplicity, low cost and interoperability through the .mm format. Its limitations are the absence of documented AI features, task data or outline views, and a free tier whose private diagrams are capped at three.
