Conceptboard vs Ink

Conceptboard is a shared online whiteboard that combines visual collaboration with digital task management. It supports brainstorming, workshops, project planning, product roadmapping and team decisions. Boards can hold tasks, comments, templates and sections, with project organization, diagramming tools, presentation mode, an infinite canvas, workshop templates and voting tools. External guests can open a shared board without an account; guests and visitors are free on professional accounts. Conceptboard lists integrations with Microsoft Teams, Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, Atlassian Confluence and Webex. The company states that content is encrypted with 256-bit AES in transit and at rest, with TLS for device-to-server communication, and that it is GDPR-compliant and certified to ISO 27001, ISO 27017 and ISO 27018. The cloud service requires an internet connection. Free allows three active boards, 100 objects per board, 250 MB storage and 10 MB uploads. Starter is €5 a month and includes unlimited boards, up to five active projects, 5 GB storage and 25 MB uploads; a 30-day trial is listed.

Ink is a shared whiteboard for people and AI assistants. On its live canvas, collaborators can create plans, forms, diagrams, and pages, with changes attributed to the person or agent making them. AI edits are stored as checkpoints that users can roll back. Boards can collect form submissions, retain responses in board records, and provide CSV downloads. Users can share boards by link, embed them on websites, or present them as step-by-step walkthroughs. Ink’s MCP connection instructions cover Claude, Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and other agents able to read a URL. It is available as an installable web app for iPhone and iPad, Android, and desktop browsers, but does not support offline editing. Ink says it does not sell data, run server-side AI, or train models on boards or records. The Free plan is free; Pro is $5 a month.
