Miro - good interface
Miro - good interface


Lucidchart - quite good, but I'd say not as good as other options
Lucidchart - Very good. It can do what all other apps do, but at the cost of a poorer design.
 


InVision - cannot add text on relationship lines.
I would say that the best app is either xMind or Miro

Also tested FlowMapp but did not include it as it is a tool for UX designers, and didn;t have enough in common with the rest of the tools to be worth including it.

eDrawMax is for flowcharts and eDrawMind for Mindmaps, therefore I only included eDrawMax in this article.
ConceptDraw is only available as a downloadable app on desktop, making it too hard to access and therefore disqualifying it.
