What it does
NearHub Canvas is a browser-based collaborative whiteboard offered alongside NearHub interactive displays. Its official pages describe an infinite canvas, brush tools, templates, sticky notes, comments, timers, and importing and exporting work. The pricing page lists a free plan, Pro at $7.99 per member per month, Education at $6.39 per member per month, and custom Enterprise pricing; the free-board limit is described inconsistently between the plan details and FAQ.
NearHub Canvas is a collaborative online board that can be used on its own or alongside the vendor's interactive display hardware. The product page describes an infinite canvas with drawing brushes and templates as well as sticky notes, comments, timers, and import and export options. These tools make it suitable for live ideation and team workshops where participants want to combine freehand marks with written notes.
The pricing page lists a free plan, Pro at $7.99 per member per month, Education at $6.39 per member per month, and custom Enterprise pricing. The official pricing copy is ambiguous about the free plan: one section says four editable boards, while the FAQ describes creating more boards but keeping only four active and editable. I reviewed the product and pricing pages; I did not create a board or test collaboration on a NearHub display.
