Miro is for your team's workshops. Drafty is for your client's sign-off.
Miro and Drafty solve different problems. Miro is an infinite canvas built for internal teams — roadmaps, retros, and brainstorming sessions. Drafty is a public link: share a doc, design, or live site and your client leaves a note pinned to the exact spot. No whiteboard to navigate, no account required, no seat charge.

How it works
Share the artifact, not the workspace
Push your doc, design export, or live URL to Drafty. Your client gets one link that opens straight to the artifact — no infinite canvas to orient themselves in, no team to join.
They pin the note to the exact spot
They hover any element, click, and leave a comment anchored to that exact line or section. Not a sticky note that drifts. No account, no download.
Claude ships the edit on the same link
Read the open threads in your terminal. Claude makes the change and pushes a new version on the same URL — your client sees the update without a new email or a new link.
Why people switch
- Client opens your Miro board and gets lost — the artifact is buried in a team workspace
- Miro's anonymous visitor feature requires a paid plan; free tier has no guest commenting
- Feedback is scattered — Miro sticky notes drift and have no resolve status
- Single-artifact link, nothing else on screen — They land on the doc or design — and only the doc or design
- Guest commenting on any plan, no credit card — One tap to leave a note, from any browser or phone
- Anchored threads with resolve / reopen — Every note is pinned to what they meant, with a clear open/done state
Who it's for
Send the brand doc as a link. Your client annotates the exact paragraph — not a floating sticky note on a board built for your sprint retros.
The strategy deck is a link. Your client marks up the exact slide and it still looks like your work — not a Miro board invite.
Drop the spec doc or v0 app. Testers comment without signing up — every note is threaded and pinned to the element that needs the change.
Questions
- When should I use Miro instead of Drafty?
- Miro is genuinely better for internal team work — sprint retrospectives, product roadmaps, cross-functional workshops, and diagramming. It's the right tool when the audience is your own team. Drafty is for the client-facing moment: sharing an artifact for review and collecting pinned feedback without asking them to join a workspace.
- Do clients need a Miro account to leave feedback?
- On Miro's free plan, anonymous visitor commenting isn't available. Paid plans (Starter at $8/seat/month and above) allow public boards with anonymous visitors. With Drafty, anyone comments as a guest on any plan — no account, no seat charge, no board to navigate.
- How is Miro's commenting different from Drafty's?
- Miro uses sticky notes that float on the canvas — they're not pinned to a specific DOM element. Drafty anchors each comment to the exact element on the page, so 'the bit near the top right' becomes 'this heading.' Drafty also tracks resolve/reopen status per comment; Miro doesn't have that on a sticky.
- Can I use Miro for client sign-off on a design or doc?
- You can upload the file to a Miro board and ask the client to drop sticky notes, but they'll land in your team whiteboard, not the document. It works in a pinch, but clients regularly report getting disoriented. Drafty makes the artifact the entire page.
- Is Drafty free compared to Miro?
- Both have free plans. Miro's free tier limits you to 3 editable boards and no anonymous visitor commenting. Drafty is free to start with no credit card required and guest commenting works out of the box.
- Does Drafty do workshops and retros like Miro?
- No. Drafty doesn't have sticky notes, voting, diagramming, or an infinite canvas — that's Miro's domain and it's genuinely good at it. If you need a digital whiteboard for team workshops, use Miro. If you need a public link for client review, use Drafty.
