## The Hook

Excalidraw is the whiteboard architecture reviews actually use.

## What's Good

MIT whiteboard you can run in the browser.

## The Catch

plus.excalidraw.com is a separate commercial product for teams. This review does not treat Plus as OSS. The OSS app is a drawing surface, not a full design system.

## Verdict

The MIT whiteboard. Use the OSS app; Plus is a different SKU.
