In their own words
Milanote
Milanote organizes creative projects by arranging notes, images, videos, sketches and other material on boards. Its listed workflows include moodboarding, brainstorming, storyboarding, creative writing, visual project management, whiteboarding, mind mapping and remote work. Users can invite others to edit or comment, or share a read-only board that does not require a Milanote login. The Web Clipper saves text, images, links and video; boards can embed media from services such as YouTube, Vimeo, SoundCloud and Spotify. Milanote offers web access, desktop apps for Mac and Windows, and mobile apps for iOS and Android. Mobile apps require an internet connection to view and edit boards, and mobile users can display tables but not edit them. The free plan includes 100 notes, images or links, 10 file uploads and unlimited shared boards. Pay per person costs $9.99 a month billed annually, or $12.50 billed monthly, and includes unlimited notes, images, links, uploads and shared boards. Milanote says customer data is encrypted at rest and in transit.
Soleil Clusters
Soleil Clusters is a visual workspace for film, photo, design, and brand teams to collect references, storyboards, shot lists, scripts, and schedules. Shared boards, called clusters, use an infinite canvas with live cursors, comments, and presence. Built-in documents let users write briefs beside the canvas, while tags gather references and a relationship graph connects cards and boards. Boards are private by default; users can invite collaborators or share a view-only public link that does not require an account to open. Images, video, audio, and PDFs become cards with viewers or players, while other files become downloadable cards. Clusters offers a REST API and an MCP server, with OAuth or personal access tokens for integrations. The free plan includes 50 cards, unlimited clusters and collaborators, and standard media only. Creator costs $25.00 per month, or $20/mo billed annually ($240/yr), and includes unlimited cards, any file type, no per-file size limits, and 100GB drive. It works in browsers, as an installable PWA, and through native iOS and Android apps.
