## MindMeister Reviews
  ### 1. Easy, Intuitive Mind Mapping that suits most requirements

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Marketing and Advertising | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 25, 2026

**What do you like best about MindMeister?**

Creating mind maps is easy and intuitive, plus they can be integrated into MeisterNote and MeisterTask. Have used MindMeister for years to map out processes and campaigns for team and clients. Pricing is reasonable and customer support has been good.

**What do you dislike about MindMeister?**

Some of the options for how to position elements aren't quite as flexible as they could be, which sometimes reduces what can be done presentation wise, particularly for complex maps

**What problems is MindMeister solving and how is that benefiting you?**

MindMeister makes it easy to visually convey complex workflows and processes

  ### 2. MindMeister helps visualize and clarify complex ideas before making decisions

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Education Management | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 16, 2025

**What do you like best about MindMeister?**

I really value how quickly we can turn complex thoughts into clear, visually engaging mind maps. The interface is intuitive and responsive, making it easy to stay focused. I often export maps as high-quality images to include in reports and executive presentations. Keyboard shortcuts boost the productivity, and being able to attach files directly to map nodes keeps everything organized in one place.

**What do you dislike about MindMeister?**

MindMeister is a solid tool overall. The only area I'd improve is real-time collaboration—it's not always clear who made specific changes, which can be an issue during internal reviews.

**What problems is MindMeister solving and how is that benefiting you?**

In academic projects that require cross-department coordination, MindMeister helps me organize ideas, run project retrospectives, and align different teams. It’s encouraged a more strategic, solution-focused mindset across the board.

  ### 3. Unfortunate Customer Experience

**Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Michael G. | Chief Executive Officer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 10, 2024

**What do you like best about MindMeister?**

It was decent for mind mapping and documenting new ideas.

**What do you dislike about MindMeister?**

I had a really disappointing experience with Mind Meister and hope this review saves others from wasting their time and money.  Here are the undisputed facts of my interaction with Mind Meister –     

- My company has been a customer of Mind Meister since March 2021 and a spent $2,227 during that period
- On April 19, 2024 at 5:00pm I received an email saying they charged $419 for a subscription renewal for 4 users and 6 month term
- At 5:01pm I received another email offering savings if I subscribed for a year instead of 6 months
- At 6:08pm I shared that our team hasn’t used Mind Meister at all other than me and I requested a refund for the 3 other licenses and said I was happy to renew my single license for a year
- Their response “I'm sorry to say that I cannot issue a refund in this case.  As outlined at the time of purchase, selecting a billing period when purchasing a license causes your plan to renew automatically by default”
- I said that I have been a loyal customer and thought they issued notifications BEFORE a subscription renews like most companies since it is the law in most states
- Their response “I am sorry that you feel this way, but we notify our users about the automatic license renewal not only at the time of purchase but also in our terms & conditions and email invoices.”

You can decide if you want to work with a company that retains their loyal, multi-year customers by referencing ‘fine print’ in terms & conditions that no one can keep up with when they have over 30 different vendors and software providers.  I know I prefer the many other alternatives that care about their customers.

**What problems is MindMeister solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It was decent for mind mapping and documenting new ideas and projects.

**Reviewed Date:** April 28, 2023

I like the way it auto-aligns all elements and can be customized for the way I like. Most importantly the default look and feel is also very good. The drag and drop interface is very good.

We can export mindmaps only in their "mind" format, Other export formats don't work great when imported into other mind-mapping tools. Yes, as a free version you can create only 3 mindmaps.

This may not be a huge problem but sometimes when I open one of our existing maps, all the topics get opened and it looks messy in the map. Then I close them myself.

**Reviewed Date:** November 15, 2021

**What do you like best about MindMeister?**

I'm surprised there are very few reviews for Mindmeister. I have used the tool for brainstorming with my team(It's also super fun), creating lessons for kids, class syllabus/learning journey, and even a story board! Mindmeister is very flexible and there's a lot of scope for creative use.

**What do you dislike about MindMeister?**

In terms of features, I have no complaints. They are also testing the new Panda update. Everything looks fantastic so far. 

I have an education subscription with Mindmeister and Meistertask. Now they have also introduced Notes. It would be nice if they create a Google suite like pricing, where there's single pricing for people who want to use all their tools.

Give it a try, I don't see why not.

**Reviewed Date:** October 27, 2020

**What do you like best about MindMeister?**

it is very easy and flexible. It allows changes in the herarchies  that can be done very easily. The use of keyboard to create new connections and herarchies is very useful. You can also add ideas, icons or highlight with colors the ideas. It has a free version that can be used with no time limit. The canvas is infinite so it allows very big diagrams. 
The tool for presentations that helps to navigate in the diagram is very useful. It provides several types of schemas.

**What do you dislike about MindMeister?**

Free version only allows two maps so if you use it frequenly it could be not enough, although is enough to see how useful it is.

It helps me a lot for ideas organization during braimstorming and design thinking sessions. Also for presenting these ideas to others.

How easy it is to use. No studies needed to use this software and the presentation helps to clarify a lot.

Test the 2 first ones thoroughly and if happy just do it.
You won't be dissapointed.

We ended typical presentations and summaries where nobody looks at after the meeting. This is very logical and you can link easily.

This is a very useful tool for various tasks like: brainstorming, organising your work, taking notes, presentations

**What do you dislike about MindMeister?**

Would love to be able to use asiidoc or markdown in the text entries; at the moment you can define that an entry is bold/italic/or some other stuff but is all or nothing. E.g.: Being able to make only certain words bold would be very useful

**What problems is MindMeister solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Taking notes, jotting down ideas and preparing/delivering presentations

  ### 22. I love the mind maps

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Emily B. | Operations Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 12, 2020

**What do you like best about MindMeister?**

MindMeister is amazing. It’s such a fresh software that makes everyone feel open to share ideas. Mindmapping is such a necessary part that is involved in the process-making of every project, and this is a software that involves the sharing of ideas and combines it with the task management part of it. I feel that MindMeister offers good collaboration tools that are complete and interactive, which means that everyone can participate, have their opinions and share them with everyone else. For example, when we need to create something that involves a person from another department, we can easily share with them the thought process and they can evaluate it before we proceed to do anything else. There is also the fact that this is a cloud-based software and I can access to every mind map wherever I am  and edit it right there.

**What do you dislike about MindMeister?**

The functionality of the mobile app is not at the same level as the web app.

**Recommendations to others considering MindMeister:**

I think that this is a software which price ranges are not too high and would serve a great purpose for everyone’s projects.

**What problems is MindMeister solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I think MindMeister has helped us find a place where we can all gather to share our ideas. Mindmapping is something that I enjoy doing and believe it’s a helpful thing that can improve significantly the result of a product. Because of that, this software has helped me to visualize these projects with my team. The integrations are amazing and I think combining it with task management was a smart move since now we are able to keep track of everything. It really works well as a planner for all my work. I’ve also found myself using these mind maps as a replacement for slides, which also work amazingly.

  ### 23. Sort out thoughts and derive actions

**Reviewed by:** Andreas L. | Co-Founder, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 22, 2020

It works accrossed all platforms… you can give access to others even if they have no subscription which allows easy collaboration when you need it. Export and timeline functions are great too.

**What do you dislike about MindMeister?**

Graphics could be a bit more refined… mindmeister always starts at one point but sometimes it would be nice to have several.

**Recommendations to others considering MindMeister:**

cross platform deployment, ease of use, integration with meistertask

**What problems is MindMeister solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I can easily sort out complex topic and discuss with the team even though we are remote.

It is a completely web-based tool. It allows to plan projects, manage meetings and sketch out business plans online with colleagues in a short time. It easily allows users to edit mind map formats. By using cloud storage, we can create presentations. It allows us to store information than just words. It is easy to use on tablets and computers. It generally offers unlimited possibilities by which it becomes an ideal tool.

**What do you dislike about MindMeister?**

It is difficult to use this application on mobile phones. The interface of MindMeister only has basic features. It is a thousand timeless powerful than another Microsoft. The attachment can be added but only if limited size is acceptable.

**What problems is MindMeister solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Mind mapping tool to share, develop ideas visually. Web-based applications that plan all the projects and manage meetings easily. We can edit our formats by using this tool. It gives limited possibilities to its users.

  ### 25. Easy to use Mind Mapping Tool with Powerful Features

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Jason J. | Web Design & SEO Consultant, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 18, 2019

**What do you like best about MindMeister?**

Simplicity, there is no need to read a manual or lengthy set of instructions if you are moderately computer literate.  They have a generous free plan that allows you up to 3 mindmaps. If you need more the pricing is quite reasonable.

**What do you dislike about MindMeister?**

Really not much to dislike, it's easy to setup, offers true mind maps, organizational charts, and other features you would expect to find in a mature product.

**What problems is MindMeister solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I use MindMeister for "Macro" planning, ie large scale overview of workflows and concepts. I typically use a different 3rd party to-do app to break up large projects and visions into small, do-able tasks.

  ### 26. Mindmapping online for team sharing

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Johanna S. | Mrs. internal, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 02, 2019

**What do you like best about MindMeister?**

Sharing plans and ideas for business strategies regarding business plans and marketing solutions. Also the team creator is a great option - the roadmap in connection with the map tool.

**What do you dislike about MindMeister?**

The creator generally works good on the desktop on mobile devices of course for the smaller screen the visability is not the greatest, for that I think they need a other way to sort the single tasks better.

**Recommendations to others considering MindMeister:**

Use it on the desktop - this is the best version.

**What problems is MindMeister solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Regarding business plans and ideas to get a map of the single plans and objects in team solutions. The mindmapping tool is helpful to keep a clear plan of the ideas.

  ### 27. A great tool for capturing Chatbot flow dialogues

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Carol G. | Owner/Chatbot Designer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 10, 2019

**What do you like best about MindMeister?**

Mindmeister is an easy to use tool for designing and documenting Chatbot flows. I like how easy it is to create a visual representation of a dialogue and then playing it in Presentation mode for my customers so they can see visually how their customers will interact with their content. Miindmeister is also perfect for ongoing documentation of a dialogue flow as you make changes. 

**What do you dislike about MindMeister?**

I don't see a down side of using it. I do wish it could 'crawl' through my bot automatically and document it.

**Recommendations to others considering MindMeister:**

If you're looking for a tool to quickly and easily document your Chatbot, you found it!

**What problems is MindMeister solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I've been able to use it to visually show clients how their customers interact with their Chatbot. I don't have another way of showing this and then 'playing' it like a movie ornl presentation.

  ### 28. Mindmeister planning tool

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Michael G. | IT Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 03, 2019

**What do you like best about MindMeister?**

Very easy to use - the tool doesn't get in the way of the process; critical for visually mapping. Organize and arrange maps easily - even create submaps with links back to the top. It works with Microsoft Teams. The paid version offered the ability to export to PDF. 

**What do you dislike about MindMeister?**

Resizing images cab be tricky as the edges are tough to grasp, the interface could be more visually appealing but the functionality is most important. Printing large maps on a single sheet is tougher than it needs to be.  There is no free license for educational institutions or schools. The more complex your mind map is the more difficult it is to work with it. There is no desktop version. 

**Recommendations to others considering MindMeister:**

It is a very easy program to use. The visual aspect makes organizing a breeze. It may overwhelm some people with the mapping and amount of things to see. Sometimes you have to take a step back to appreciate it. Since the free version does offer three maps I would suggest you try it out before spending your hard earned cash. The system can help anyone take an idea and create a plan and then make it reality. 

**What problems is MindMeister solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Sharing process is more difficult than it needs to be. The system has made planning more visual and allows user the ability to view things more quickly. Eventually the cost was more than what we wanted to pay. Mindmeister helped take a plan that we had developed into something actual. 

  ### 29. Prioritize and sort out all of your work

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Environmental Services | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 26, 2019

**What do you like best about MindMeister?**

If you have a billion things going on, MindMeister helps you to track what you have completed and what you need to do through flow charts so you can show how your projects relate. If you put in a deadline, MindMeister reminds you that you need to do something through an email. Super convenient. 

**What do you dislike about MindMeister?**

Although MindMeister says reminder emails, I sometimes forget to log back in to update that I have completed a given task. There can be a little bit of a learning curve to figure out how to use MindMeister at first but I got used to it pretty quickly and refer back to my MindMeister periodically.

**Recommendations to others considering MindMeister:**

I really like the ability to customize your workflow in a flow chart that matches how you think about the project - even down to the colors!

**What problems is MindMeister solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I'm a researcher studying marine plastic pollution that organizes my various research projects and deadlines on Mindmeister.

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Non-Profit Organization Management | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 27, 2019

**What do you like best about MindMeister?**

I absolutely love the different themes and templates I can use. I feel like the software is very customizable. It also does a great job of fitting my needs.

**What do you dislike about MindMeister?**

I feel that having only 3 free maps is a bit limiting. However, it gets the job done and the premium version isn't that expensive. 

**Recommendations to others considering MindMeister:**

Definitely go for the free sample and see how it works. I am a huge fan of the software and think more companies should work towards using it. Moreover, I feel that the company is headed in the right direction and is one that will do great in the future. The service is super customizable, which for me, was absolutely helpful. Would definitely recommend to anyone who prefers visually seeing ideas.

**What problems is MindMeister solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I love that it helps me outline ideas better in a visually appealing way.
