Mapify vs SpawnGraph

Mapify turns text, PDFs, webpages, office documents, Bilibili videos, and audio or video files into AI mind maps. Generated maps can be edited, rearranged, shared, exported, or converted into slides, and multiple generation tasks can run at once. Eight templates cover scenarios such as brainstorming, project planning, research, timelines, and reading notes. The service supports real-time switching among more than 30 languages; its Chinese site identifies DeepSeek V3 as the AI model. Map generation and chat use credits based on word count. Exports include SVG, Xmind, PDF, and Markdown. Mapify runs on the web, iOS, and macOS. The free plan includes 30 one-time credits, five PDFs or documents, and five YouTube videos. Paid plans start at $5.99 a month, billed US$72 yearly, and provide 500 monthly credits. The FAQ says user data is not used to train AI models and processed data is encrypted. Accounts can be bound to at most three personal devices, and account sharing is prohibited.

SpawnGraph turns text, URLs, PDFs, YouTube videos, and more than 93 file types into editable hierarchical mind maps. Inputs include Office files, EPUB, Markdown, images with OCR, audio, video, transcripts, and maps from other mind-mapping tools. Its browser structuring step uses native natural-language processing rather than GPT, language-model APIs, or a server-side model.

Collaboration features include live cursors, presence avatars, and edit-locking across plans, while Premium allows up to 20 live editors per board. Free exports include watermarked PNG, CSV, OPML, plain text, YAML, HTML, TSV, and FreeMind. Paid plans add formats including PDF, SVG, JPG, WebP, Markdown, JSON, PPTX, XMind, and knowledge ZIP exports. The Free plan is free, with two saved mindmaps, a 10 MB upload limit, 10 file imports per day, and 30 image uploads per day. Solo Pro is $5 a month, billed $60/year. Windows and Linux desktop apps work offline, and the browser app works offline after loading. The listed supported platforms also include web.
