What it does
Pinboard provides local boards and multiplayer rooms with live cursors, shared canvas updates, and discussions attached to work. Its official pricing lists free local-only boards, Cloud at $2.99/month or $29.99/year for rooms with up to five guests, and Cloud Plus at $9.99/month or $99.99/year for up to 50 guests.
Pinboard is built around one canvas that people and the agents they bring can read and edit together. Multiplayer rooms synchronize changes and show participant cursors, while discussions remain attached to the work. Local boards are free but stay in the current browser; durable sharing requires a paid creator account, and invited participants need accounts. This is the collaborative whiteboard at usepinboard.com, not the unrelated bookmarking service with the same name.
Strengths
- Real-time rooms show participant cursors and keep collaboration on a shared canvas.
- The free local board can be tried without payment details.
Watch out for
- Free boards are local to the current browser and do not provide cloud sharing.
- Each invited room participant must have an account; room size depends on the paid tier.
Best for
- Teams that want a shared canvas for people and AI-assisted collaboration
- Facilitators who need live presence and discussions attached to canvas objects
