Discord

Discord is a messaging and voice/video chat platform where users are grouped into communities referred to as servers. Discord is available on Windows, MacOS as well as most smartphones and browsers. Similar to Slack but not as business-facing, Discord is a great way to organize messages and thoughts by project and department. The built-in voice and video chat system has robust controls where users can mute or turn off the video for any participant for themselves (great if multiple users are joining a call from the same room).

  • Free with optional boosts for more features starting at $9.99 / month


Miro

Miro can best be described as an online collaborative whiteboard.  It can be used for brainstorming or organizing thoughts and strategies and has a similar feeling to a group covering a wall in sticky notes. To aid groups in their virtual collaboration it also has video & audio conferencing functionality built into it so users don’t need to be on a separate call to communicate with each other.  Miro is a great tool to keep brainstorming organized and allows users to work asynchronously in one communal space.  It contains a rich integration library with other pieces of software and comes with various presets for different workflows. Free users are limited to 3 active boards.  

COST:

  • Free accounts can create 3 boards, but anyone can contribute to a board

  • Paid version scales from $10 – $20 / month / user
