HuddleIQ vs Ink

HuddleIQ is an online collaborative whiteboard for remote teams, educators, consultants and groups doing workshops, planning or brainstorming. Its infinite canvas includes sticky notes, drawing tools, checklists, task cards and more than 20 shapes with connectors. Participants can work together using live cursors, chat, comments with @ mentions, polls, voting and video calls with screen sharing. HuddleIQ lists more than 100 templates and import with annotation for over 60 document formats, including PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Google Docs. Integrations include Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox and Microsoft Teams. Boards can be private or shared, with member permissions, history, notifications and recovery of deleted boards within 60 days. The free plan allows three team members, three whiteboards, 200 objects per board and 100 MB storage. Standard is $9.50 a month per member, or 7 USD per member per month with annual billing. Premium is $16 a month per member, or 12 USD with annual billing. It works in a modern browser and offers Windows and macOS desktop apps.

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.
