Kaavit vs Lucidspark: a Lucidspark alternative for teams
Lucidspark is the whiteboard in the Lucid suite, beside Lucidchart, its diagramming tool. Kaavit is one product: an online whiteboard where the diagram is drawn on the board itself, by you or by the AI, with voting, timers and guests on the free plan.
If you are looking for a Lucidspark alternative, here is how the two compare, fact by fact, with a link to where each fact about Lucidspark comes from.
At a glance
| Topic | Kaavit | Lucidspark |
|---|---|---|
| Free plan | Free, with no card: 10 boards, 5 members, and a one-time AI trial for the organisation. | Free: “3 editable Lucidspark boards”, with commenting and freehand drawing. Source |
| Paid plan | Team: €8 per member a month, billed monthly, plus VAT. Unlimited boards and members. | Individual: 9,00 € a month when billed annually. Team: 10,00 € per user a month when billed annually. Both exclude VAT. Enterprise: on request. Source |
| Voting and timers | Both, on every plan. Votes are anonymous, and the counts stay hidden until the vote ends. | “Voting” and “Timer” are listed from the Team plan, with its facilitator tools. Source |
| Guests | On every plan: 3 per board on Free, invited by email, and more on Team. | “Guest collaborators” are listed from the Team plan. Source |
| AI | Draws diagrams and boards from a prompt, groups and sorts notes into frames, and changes what you select. Kaavit lays out what it draws, and any generation can be reverted in one step. | Generates boards, ideas and mind maps, sorts ideas into themes and summarises what is on the canvas. Lucid describes generating diagrams “on your Lucidchart canvas”. Source |
| AI and the plan | A one-time trial for the organisation on Free; credits for every member on Team. | On Free too: Lucid's AI is “currently available to all users but may be subject to a paid subscription model in the future”. Source |
| Diagramming | On the board: shapes, connectors that follow what they join, and AI that draws flowcharts, architecture diagrams and ER diagrams there. | Lucidchart is Lucid's diagramming product. The Enterprise plan “Includes Lucidchart for intelligent diagramming”. Source |
| AI tools over MCP | On every plan, with a daily limit on a tool's changes on Free. What a tool adds appears on the board; a change to what somebody else put there arrives as a suggestion for a person to accept, and a tool can delete only what it drew itself. | Lucid MCP server: “Connect Lucid to your AI tools to find, create, edit, share, and reference diagrams.” Source |

Where Kaavit is different
Running the session on the free plan. Voting, timers and guests are on every Kaavit plan; Lucidspark lists all three from its Team plan.
One product. In Kaavit the diagram is drawn on the whiteboard, by you or by the AI, with connectors that stay attached as you move things. Lucid has a whiteboard and a diagramming tool, and its plans are for one, the other or both.
AI that you can take back. Everything Kaavit's AI draws is ordinary sticky notes, shapes and connectors, laid out by Kaavit rather than placed by the model, and a whole generation reverts in one step — only where nobody has changed it since.
When Lucidspark is the better choice
If your team already diagrams in Lucidchart, Lucidspark sits beside it, and Lucid's Enterprise plan includes both.
Lucid's AI is on its free plan for now, where Kaavit's is a one-time trial.
Moving from Lucidspark
Kaavit cannot import Lucidspark boards. Most teams start new work in Kaavit and leave finished boards where they are; for a board you want to bring across, paste its text into the AI prompt and ask for it as a board.
