What it does
GroupMap is an online visual facilitation workspace for meetings, workshops, classrooms, and group decisions. Activities can use maps, templates, private or collaborative idea capture, prioritization, discussion, and reporting. The product page describes a browser-based service with facilitator controls for pacing and participant flow.
Rather than offering only an unstructured drawing surface, GroupMap guides participants through a designed sequence: a facilitator sets up an activity, contributors add responses, and the group reviews or prioritizes the results together. The homepage highlights templates for retrospectives, business model canvases, risk analysis, and other group exercises, alongside anonymity settings, timers, polling, and reports. That structure suits workshops where the facilitator wants a traceable path from ideas to action.
The pricing page lists a 14-day trial, then paid Basic, Professional, and Enterprise options. The trial allows one facilitator and ten participants per map; the comparison also lists exports to PDF, JPG, Excel, or CSV. There is no permanent free plan shown, so teams planning repeated use should compare the participant count and facilitation controls available in each subscription.
