SOC 2 Type Ⅱ certified
Cloudairy is an AI-powered workspace that combines an online whiteboard - sticky notes, voting, timers - with real technical diagramming: flowcharts, UML, ER diagrams, and cloud architecture, all on one canvas. Describe what you need in plain English and the AI generates an editable version in seconds.
Unlike a jam-first canvas where technical diagrams lean on community widgets and docs and tasks live in other tools, Cloudairy builds all of it into one workspace. It is a free FigJam alternative to start - 3 boards, 25 monthly AI credits, and unlimited members on the free plan - then Pro at $8/member and Business at $16/member as you grow.
Verdict: Cloudairy wins on native technical diagramming, docs and tasks in one workspace, flat per-member pricing, and working outside a design org. FigJam wins when your whole company already lives in Figma - jam sessions are frictionless and Collab seats are cheap add-ons to seats you already pay for. For mixed teams - engineering, product, and ops - that need diagrams as deliverables, Cloudairy is the stronger choice.
Describe your diagram in plain text. AI generates it instantly.
Edit any diagram visually. No code syntax required.
12,000+ icons including AWS, Azure, GCP, and Kubernetes.
Choose Cloudairy when your boards need to become deliverables. FigJam is a great place to jam on ideas, but the output usually gets rebuilt somewhere else. In Cloudairy, the workshop and the final architecture diagram live on the same canvas - and the free tier includes 3 boards, 25 AI credits per month, and unlimited members, so the whole team can join before anyone pays.
Pricing is one flat number instead of a seat matrix. Cloudairy is $8/member/month (Pro) or $16/member/month (Business) for everything - whiteboard, technical diagramming, docs, and tasks. The whiteboard-in-a-design-suite model works differently: Collab seats run $3-$5/user/month, Full seats $16-$90/user/month by plan, and the tools around the board still come from somewhere else.
And the AI does real work: type "AWS architecture for a three-tier web app" and Cloudairy generates an editable diagram with the right icons in seconds. Sticky notes, voting, docs, and tasks live in the same workspace, so a jam session flows straight into build-ready diagrams and plans.
Yes - technical diagramming is native in Cloudairy, not a community widget. UML, ER, network, and cloud architecture diagrams - with 12,000+ up-to-date AWS, Azure, GCP, and Kubernetes icons - live on the same canvas as your whiteboard, while in FigJam that depth typically comes from community templates and widgets.
Solutions architects and DevOps engineers describe AWS VPC diagrams, Azure deployment architectures, GCP infrastructure layouts, or Kubernetes cluster topologies in plain text, and Cloudairy's AI generates a professional diagram with the correct, up-to-date cloud provider icons - fully editable and ready for review.
The result: one canvas for the jam session and the architecture review. Brainstorm with sticky notes, then turn decisions into precise technical diagrams on the same board - no widget-hunting and no second diagramming tool.
Moving over is quick: describe any jam board to Cloudairy's AI in plain English and get a fully editable version in seconds, or import diagrams directly from Visio, Lucidchart, Miro, and more. Because Cloudairy runs in the browser, there is nothing to install and your team can start the same day.
You keep working the way you like: run brainstorms with sticky notes, voting, and timers, then build flowcharts, UML, ER, and architecture diagrams on the same canvas - all with real-time collaboration built in.
You also stop stitching tools together: Cloudairy is a FigJam alternative that covers the whiteboard, the technical diagrams, and the docs and tasks around them - one workspace instead of a jam file here, a diagramming tool there, and a task tracker somewhere else.
Yes - Cloudairy covers the full workshop toolkit: an online whiteboard with sticky notes, voting, timers, comments, reactions, and live cursors. Multiple people edit the same board simultaneously on every plan, including Free.
Retrospectives, sprint planning, brainstorming sessions, and design reviews all run in the browser with unlimited members - and when the workshop ends, the same board carries the follow-up diagrams, docs, and tasks, so nothing gets rebuilt in a second tool.
Pro tip: Many teams switch gradually - keep old jam files where they are, start new workshops and diagrams in Cloudairy, and let the free plan's 25 monthly AI credits handle the rebuilding as you go, so engineers, PMs, and ops can contribute without anyone provisioning a seat.

Compare →Yes. Cloudairy offers a free-forever tier with 3 editable boards, 25 AI credits per month, and unlimited team members - no credit card required. Paid plans start at $8/month per member, and there is no design-tool subscription or seat type to manage.
FigJam's free tier caps you at 3 jam files (plus 3 Figma design files) on the Figma Starter plan. Cloudairy's free plan includes 3 editable boards with 25 AI credits per month and unlimited members - and each board covers whiteboarding, technical diagramming, docs, and tasks in one place.
It depends on seats. A Collab seat is $3-$5/user/month - genuinely cheap if your company already pays for Figma. But Full seats run $16-$90/user/month depending on plan, and diagramming and docs still need other tools. Cloudairy is a flat $8 (Pro) or $16 (Business) per member for the whole workspace.
There is no direct .jam file import, but rebuilding is fast: describe any board to Cloudairy's AI in plain English and get a fully editable version in seconds. Diagrams from Visio, Lucidchart, Miro, and other tools import directly. Most teams move their key boards over in an afternoon.
If your whole company lives in Figma, FigJam is frictionless: it sits next to your design files, Collab seats are inexpensive add-ons to a plan you already pay for, and jam sessions with designers feel native. Cloudairy is the better fit for mixed teams - engineering, product, and ops - that need technical diagrams as deliverables.
Yes - technical diagramming is native in Cloudairy, not a community widget. You get UML, ER, network, and cloud architecture diagrams with 12,000+ shapes and icons, including AWS, Azure, GCP, and Kubernetes, on the same canvas as your whiteboard - no second diagramming tool needed.
Yes - Cloudairy is a standalone workspace, so engineers, product managers, and ops collaborate without anyone managing design-tool seats. It runs entirely in the browser on Windows, Mac, Linux, and ChromeOS - nothing to install - and unlimited members can join on every plan, including Free.
Yes. Cloudairy is certified for SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, GDPR, and PCI DSS. Enterprise features include SAML SSO (via Okta, OneLogin, Auth0), SCIM provisioning, audit logs, custom data residency (US or EU), and a 99.9% uptime SLA.
Yes - and they go beyond sorting stickies. Cloudairy generates complete diagrams from a plain-English prompt - flowcharts, UML, and cloud architecture - and can create AI images and docs on the same canvas. The free plan includes 25 AI credits every month, with more on Pro and Business plans.
Keep the jam-session energy: brainstorm on the whiteboard, generate real diagrams from a prompt, and edit them visually with your team on Cloudairy.
