Overview
MindManager is a mind mapping and visual planning product originally developed by Mindjet. Corel announced on 9 August 2016 that it had acquired the Mindjet MindManager business[3], and the product’s imprint names Corel Corporation, 333 Preston Street, Ottawa, Canada, as the company behind it[2]. In February 2026 Corel announced a split in which Vector Capital would acquire the creativity and productivity portfolio, naming CorelDRAW, MindManager and WinZip among its brands; closing was expected in May 2026[4].
The product line has three main editions[1]. Essentials is the web version for individual projects. Professional is described as the complete MindManager experience for individuals and small teams, including all newest versions, the full feature suite and collaboration tools; both Essentials and Professional are offered as yearly subscriptions, and a one-time purchase option is listed. Enterprise, for organisations, governments, non-profits and educational institutions, adds volume licence discounts, premium dedicated support, large-scale deployment, an IT admin portal, single sign-on activation, read-only licences and optional training. Separate editions exist for Microsoft Teams and for students and educators, and the site lists integrations with Microsoft Teams, SharePoint and Jira.
MindManager’s strengths are its depth for business planning and its enterprise administration. Its limitations are that numeric prices were not visible in the static pricing page during review, and its ownership is changing during 2026.
