Figma alternative · $15 per editor / mo (Pro)
Looking for a free Figma alternative?
Figma is great at design — but you still pay for Notion, Microsoft 365 and an AI subscription on top. OpenLoad ships whiteboards, mind maps, slides and diagrams in the same workspace as your docs, sheets and PDFs. All real-time, all AI-augmented, all free.
The math: Figma's Dev Mode is $25/u/mo and Professional is $180/yr/editor. OpenLoad's whiteboard + mind-map + diagram tools are unlimited, free.

From people who made the switch
Real switchers, real savings.
“Figma is amazing for design, but we needed mind maps, slides AND docs in the same place. OpenLoad has all of them with real-time collab and zero cost per editor.”
