Archgram vs Lucidchart and Miro

    Lucidchart and Miro are general visual collaboration platforms, strong for workshops, whiteboarding and cross-functional diagrams. Archgram is narrower on purpose: architecture diagrams as text that engineers can review, version and generate, tied to ADRs and delivery.

    Choose Lucidchart and Miro if

    • Non-engineers need to drag shapes in real time during workshops.
    • You need a broad template and whiteboarding suite beyond architecture.
    • Your organisation already standardised on one of them with enterprise controls you require today.

    Choose Archgram if

    • Your architecture diagrams should live next to the code and change in pull requests.
    • You want AI to draft diagrams from a description or a repository scan.
    • You want to keep your own AI provider and data under your control.
