Miro does 3 jobs: shared whiteboards, live collaboration, workshop timers, voting and facilitation. Most projects replace one or two of them, so pick the job you actually need.
Open-source alternatives to Miro that run locally, allow commercial use and need no paid API include Excalidraw (shared whiteboards and live collaboration; MIT). None of the 2 projects we track covers all 3 Miro jobs, so most people combine two or more.
