Mural alternative
Prompt Board vs Mural when 3 editable murals run out
Mural sells itself on facilitation, and even its free plan has a timer, voting and private mode. Prompt Board has none of them today. This page is for small teams whose retros and plans no longer fit in 3 editable murals, and who want an AI draft without buying Team+ seats.
Mural details come from mural.co: the pricing page and the features, facilitation, product, Mural AI, integrations and apps pages. Checked on 20 October 2026. Mural's help centre did not load for us, so anything only it documents, such as export formats, is left out. Check Mural's pricing page before you decide.
Pick Prompt Board if
- Your team has filled its 3 editable murals and would rather not pay per member for more
- You want the AI to draft a board from one sentence on a free plan. Mural AI starts on Team+
- You open a board a few times a week for a retro or a plan, and nobody runs it as a workshop
Stay with Mural if
- You facilitate workshops and want a timer, anonymous voting and private mode, which Mural has on every plan
- You lead big sessions and use summon, outlines and facilitator lock to keep the group together
- Your company needs SAML single sign-on, which Mural has from the Business plan, or SCIM, audit logs and data residency on Enterprise
- You want apps for iPad, Android, Windows or macOS, or the Zoom and Webex integrations that come with Team+ and up

Our take
If you run workshops for a living, stay with Mural. Its free plan already has the timer, voting and private mode that Prompt Board lacks, and its paid plans add single sign-on and admin controls we do not offer. Better you read that here than find out after moving your boards.
Prompt Board fits a smaller job. A team that starts a new board for every retro and sprint plan needs more than 3 editable murals, and Mural AI needs a Team+ seat. Here every board stays editable, and the AI writes the first draft from one sentence, up to 20 times a day per person.
