Lucidchart pricing, price hikes and cheaper alternatives
Lucidchart (lucidchart.com) is a whiteboard or diagram tool. Free tier, then per-person Individual and per-seat Team subscriptions shown billed annually, Enterprise by quote, and Lucidspark bundles added in June 2026.. Free plan: Free plan with a per-document shape cap (75 shapes, raised from 60 in June 2026); it does not qualify at either point..
What Lucidchart costs
- 1 user: $9/mo ($9/mo is shown on annual billing only and no monthly-billing price is listed, so annual total/12 = $9. The Individual Bundle with Lucidspark is $13.50/mo and is not cheaper.)
- 10-person team: $100/mo (Team $10/user/mo billed annually x 10 editors = $100/mo, annual basis (no monthly-billing price listed). The Team Bundle with Lucidspark is $15/user, so not cheaper. An unconfirmed third-party report of a $12.17 to $10 top-tier drop on Jul 3, 2026 is not used.)
Plan compared: Individual standalone plan ($9/mo billed annually) for solo; Team standalone plan ($10/user/mo billed annually) for team. Monthly-billing price for one person, and the total for a 10-person team where everyone edits, on the cheapest plan with unlimited boards or diagrams saved to the cloud. Free plans count only when they meet that bar; annual-only plans are shown as the annual price divided by 12.
