What it does
Agora Interactive Whiteboard is a software development kit for adding a customizable shared canvas to another application. Its product and documentation pages describe drawing and annotation tools, multi-user editing, document sharing and conversion, multimedia presentation, and the prebuilt Fastboard interface. Pricing is usage-based: online whiteboard use is free below 10,000 minutes per month, then billed by minute-volume tier; document conversion has separate usage or concurrent-worker pricing.
Agora is for product teams building a whiteboard into their own software, not for people seeking a ready-made canvas workspace. The SDK supports web, mobile, and desktop integrations with shared drawing, document handling, multimedia presentation, and a prebuilt UI that can be customized. The official pricing documentation lists free online whiteboard usage below 10,000 monthly minutes, then $1.40 per 1,000 minutes for the next tier, decreasing to $1.10 per 1,000 at higher volumes; usage above one million minutes requires a sales quote. Document conversion is priced separately, and other Agora services may add charges.
