What is Lucidspark?

Lucidspark is Lucid's virtual whiteboard for brainstorming and ideation, integrated with Lucidchart diagramming, suited to teams wanting whiteboarding alongside structured diagrams in the Lucid suite. It offers a shared infinite canvas with sticky notes, shapes, drawing, templates, voting and facilitation for brainstorming and collaboration, and as part of the Lucid Visual Collaboration Suite it integrates closely with Lucidchart (Lucid's popular diagramming tool), so teams can move from freeform ideation in Lucidspark to structured diagrams in Lucidchart. Used by teams for brainstorming, planning and collaboration, especially those already using Lucidchart, Lucidspark pairs whiteboarding with diagramming. For the Lucid suite, Lucidspark is a leading choice.

Lucidspark's distinction is whiteboarding integrated with Lucidchart diagramming in the Lucid suite. Its freeform canvas pairs with Lucidchart's structured diagramming, so teams can brainstorm in Lucidspark and turn ideas into formal diagrams in Lucidchart within one suite, which standalone whiteboards do not offer for teams that also need diagramming. That Lucid suite integration sets it apart.

Who Lucidspark is best for

Lucidspark is best for teams that want a virtual whiteboard for brainstorming and ideation that integrates with Lucidchart diagramming in the Lucid suite, especially those already using Lucidchart. It suits the Lucid suite. It is a weaker fit for teams wanting the broadest standalone all round canvas, where Miro fits, heavy workshop facilitation, where Mural fits, design teams tied to Figma, where FigJam fits, or simple free Microsoft whiteboarding, where Microsoft Whiteboard fits.

Key features

The core strengths are a shared infinite canvas with sticky notes, shapes, drawing and templates, real time collaboration, voting and facilitation, Lucidspark AI (Collaborative AI), and close integration with Lucidchart and the Lucid suite. Lucidspark offers whiteboarding paired with diagramming. Its Lucid suite integration (brainstorm to diagram) is its defining advantage.

Lucidspark pricing

Lucidspark has a free plan, with paid plans per user per month, from around 9 US dollars (Individual), plus Team and Enterprise tiers, and it is often bought alongside Lucidchart in the Lucid suite. So teams can start free and pay per user, or license the suite. Costs scale with users and suite choice. Confirm details via the Lucidspark pricing page.

Integrations and ecosystem

Lucidspark integrates closely with Lucidchart and the Lucid suite, plus Microsoft Teams, Slack, Google Workspace, Jira and other apps. Its Lucidchart and Lucid suite integration, which lets teams move between brainstorming and structured diagramming, is a signature strength, especially for teams that need both.

Lucidspark and the Lucid suite

Whiteboarding integrated with Lucidchart diagramming is the signature strength: Lucidspark's freeform canvas pairs with Lucidchart's structured diagramming in one suite, so teams can brainstorm and then turn ideas into formal diagrams, which standalone whiteboards do not offer. For teams that need both ideation and diagramming, this is the main reason to choose Lucidspark.

Ease of use and support

Lucidspark is well rated for brainstorming, ease, Lucidchart integration and collaboration, with Lucid support, popular with teams in the Lucid suite. Its G2 reviews praise the canvas and Lucidchart integration, with breadth versus Miro the main consideration.

Is Lucidspark worth it?

For teams that want a virtual whiteboard integrated with Lucidchart diagramming in the Lucid suite, Lucidspark is an excellent choice. The main caution is that it is narrower than Miro as a standalone platform, so teams wanting the broadest all round canvas may prefer Miro, heavy facilitation Mural, design teams FigJam, and Microsoft whiteboarding Microsoft Whiteboard, but for the Lucid suite Lucidspark leads.
