Mindomo: cost, fit and limits
Mindomo is a web, desktop and mobile mind mapping and diagramming application made by Expert Software Applications SRL of Romania. It combines concept maps, outlines and Gantt charts with credit-based AI features for generating, editing and translating diagrams, sold through a free tier and two paid plans.
What to know first
Mindomo suits people who want one tool for maps, outlines and light project charts, with AI included in the subscription. The Free plan holds three diagrams, so most real use lands on Premium, which adds API access, printing and 50 AI credits a month. The pricing page shows euro and dollar figures side by side without saying which is monthly, so confirm the billing basis at checkout before budgeting.

Who Mindomo is best for
Educators and students
The free tier allows unlimited collaborators, and the app runs on iOS and Android, which makes shared class maps practical without buying seats.
Small teams on Microsoft Teams
Premium lists a Microsoft Teams integration, so a group already working in Teams can keep its maps next to its chats and meetings.
Developers who want programmatic access
API access is named on Premium, which is uncommon among the lower-priced mapping apps in this list, and useful for syncing maps with internal systems.

What Mindomo does
- AI diagram generation
- Generates a diagram from a prompt, with brainstorming, pros and cons and SWOT as named output types. Each run spends AI credits from the monthly allowance on your plan.
- AI editing and translation
- Edits an existing diagram by generating ideas and expanding subtopics, and translates a diagram into more than 30 languages. Both draw on the same credit pool as generation.
- Import and export range
- Premium reads 14 import formats and writes 10 export formats, and Professional raises exports to 21. That range matters when maps must move into documents or other mapping tools.
- Gantt charts
- Professional turns tasks inside a map into a Gantt view, so a plan can start as a brainstorm and continue as a schedule without leaving the tool.
- Desktop and mobile apps
- Premium includes access to Mindomo Desktop Premium, and every plan including Free has iOS and Android apps, so maps can be edited on a laptop or a phone.
How Mindomo handles your data
Mindomo's privacy page names Hetzner Online in Germany as the primary data center and Amazon in Frankfurt for backups, and it describes the data centers as ISO/IEC 27001 certified. Whether customer maps are used to train AI models is not stated; the policy only says Google Workspace data is not used to train generalized models. Invoices are kept for the statute of limitations, and account data is deleted or returned on request after the service ends. Payments run through Stripe and PayPal, and where they process data is not stated.
Where Mindomo falls short in practice
- Billing basis is unclear. Each paid price appears as a euro and dollar pair under a per month label, next to a yearly toggle. The page does not say which figure belongs to which period, so annual cost cannot be calculated from it.
- Credits cap AI use. Premium carries 50 AI credits a month and Free only a trial credit per comparison table. Anyone generating several maps a day can exhaust the pool, and the page does not describe what happens after that.
- Core features sit on upper tiers. Printing and attachments need Premium, while guest editing and Gantt charts need Professional. A team that wants outside reviewers on a map pays for the top tier.

Mindomo: common questions
Does Mindomo have a free plan with AI?
Mindomo has a Free plan with three diagrams and unlimited collaborators. AI is limited to trial credits, shown as one credit per comparison table on the pricing page. Meaningful AI use starts on Premium, which lists 50 AI credits per month. The free tier works for testing whether the generated maps are useful before paying.
What does Mindomo Premium cost per month?
The pricing page shows 6 euros or 7 dollars for Premium under a per month label, with a second pair of figures for the other billing option. It does not say which is monthly or yearly, and a toggle advertises up to 20 percent off. Confirm the exact amount at checkout.
Where does Mindomo store my data?
The privacy page names Hetzner Online GmbH in Germany as the primary data center and Amazon in Frankfurt for backups. It describes the data centers as ISO/IEC 27001 certified. Payment processors Stripe and PayPal are named, but their processing location is not. The vendor's policy was not checked for retention beyond what it states.
Can Mindomo translate a mind map?
Yes. The pricing page lists AI diagram translation into more than 30 languages, and the AI features run on credits. Premium includes 50 credits per month, so translating several large maps can use up a month's allowance. The page does not state how many credits one translation costs.
Does Mindomo have an API?
Premium lists API access among its features. The pricing page does not describe endpoints, rate limits or authentication, so a developer should read the vendor's API documentation before planning an integration. Free users do not get API access on the plan table checked.
