Xmind
Mind map maker and AI brainstorming tool for creating mind maps online or on desktop.
Xmind is a mind mapping tool for brainstorming, organizing ideas and planning projects, available on web, desktop and mobile. A Free plan exists, and paid plans from $10 per month are listed on its pricing page. Its Xmind Agent turns a sentence, file or link into a structured map, so it suits anyone who wants to create mind maps and turn them into plans.

What Xmind does
Starting a map does not have to mean a blank canvas. Xmind Agent builds a structured mind map from a sentence, a file, a link or a conversation, then keeps developing it as you go. Besides classic mind maps, you can switch to timelines, matrices or Zones, and apply templates and themes.
For planning, a Gantt chart turns a map into a project timeline, and topics can become tasks with assignees. Teams work on maps together in real time, using shared team spaces that sync across devices. A presentation mode turns a finished map into slides, and maps export to PNG, SVG, PDF, Markdown and Office formats. The row also lists integrations with several AI assistants and coding tools, as well as Notion.
Xmind runs on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS/iPadOS and Android. The Free plan allows up to 10 online maps created by hand, 3-day version history, up to 5 presentation slides and 50 AI credits at sign-up. Pro, listed at $10 per month on its pricing page or $4.92 per month on yearly billing, raises the map limit to 50 and removes the export watermark. Premium, listed at $15 per month or $8.25 per month on yearly billing, adds unlimited collaborative maps, Gantt charts and 500 AI credits per month.
