Overview
Wondershare EdrawMind, formerly MindMaster, is a mind mapping tool from Edrawsoft, which Wondershare acquired in 2019. You can use it to brainstorm, outline, plan simple projects and turn maps into presentations. It runs on Windows, Mac and Linux, in the browser, and on mobile, and syncs maps across these through the vendor's cloud. Its AI tools include a Mind Map Agent that builds maps from prompts, files or webpages. It can also convert maps into slides, summarize text and YouTube transcripts, and generate outlines. Planning features include a Gantt chart view generated from map topics, Pitch Mode slideshows, OCR, and a template community with about 6,000 templates on paid plans. Pricing is unusual for this category because it includes perpetual licences as well as subscriptions. Individual plans cost US$39 for six months or US$59 a year. A perpetual licence is US$198 on the plan cards, while the comparison table shows US$118, so check at checkout. A US$215 bundle adds EdrawMax. The free tier caps maps at 100 topics and 2 sheets, includes 500 one-time AI tokens, and watermarks exports. Team, business and education plans are sold separately. It suits students, consultants and small teams who want an inexpensive visual planning tool with offline desktop apps. Its main limitation is that it is not a full project management system. There are no real task assignment workflows, time tracking or automation, and it lacks the third-party integrations that dedicated PM tools offer. Independent testers also report that the AI chat cannot edit the map that is currently open.
