There is a story about a rich businessman who would approach his bank for a sizeable loan every year.

The bank would agree; after all, business is business. But insisted on some security, the businessman would bring in his prized possession a vintage Ferrari. The bank would then hold this as security on the loan in their secure warehouse.

After the businessman sold his Ferrari, he confessed he never needed the bank loan. He explained the bank’s interest and loan fees were way less expensive than organizing the special secure parking his insurance company insisted on when he was on holiday.

The moral of the story is always to seek out cost-effective options in life.

draw.io, the powerful & elegant cost-effective option

For us, it’s not about the money, draw.io was born out of a desire to produce a powerful yet elegant diagramming application for the masses, but it had to be affordable.

Our company values

You see, it goes back to our origins, our ethos. We wanted the world to diagram, breaking down borders and enhancing communication. That’s where true creativity lives. So when we communicate and share ideas globally, we make progress; diagramming cuts through language barriers.

draw.io offers an unparalleled feature set and security for an unbeatable price

But also, it is our policy of constant research and development, bringing new features, adapting to market forces that set us apart, we lead, and our competitors follow.

Some of our milestones

  • Full diagramming revision history interfaced inside of Confluence, offering compliance with the Sarbanes–Oxley Act USA.
  • Recognizing the threat cybercrime presents, we adopted a rigorous approach to security. We not only meet Atlassian’s strict requirements, but we also exceed them by some margin. Giving you complete control of your security options. No other diagramming app comes close.
    Learn just how secure we are here.
  • Our new Board Editor is a first for Confluence. Whiteboarding inside of Confluence will never be the same.
  • Coming soon, collaborative real-time whiteboarding all inside of Confluence Cloud.
  • And last but not least, it’s the application’s raw power, elegance, and ease of use. Our blogs and youtube channel highlight many use cases, workflows, and diagramming examples that our competitors struggle to replicate.

We value you, our customers

Our sense of community means we constantly strive to offer inspiration showing you precisely what draw.io can do, demonstrating new use cases and diagramming techniques. In addition, we thrive on user feedback via our Github community. So for us, it’s not about the money. It’s about great communication and visualization for professionals and students alike, or put more simply, getting the world to talk visually.

Work smarter, not harder

Compare our pricing and features with our competitors, and it soon becomes clear why draw.io is growing exponentially in popularity.
Combine this with our policy of continual development and adding new features (for free, e.g., the whiteboard), and it’s a no-brainer.

Quite simply, no one can match our ease of use, features, and perhaps most importantly, pricing.

So just like the canny businessman with his Ferrari, it’s always worth researching the market. Look closely at our competitor’s costs and see precisely what you are paying for.
Or, to put it more simply, sit down and calculate exactly how much our competitors cost compared to our pricing for a fixed number of subscriptions. You may be shocked.

Developers love us, Accountants love us, draw.io. It’s one of your better decisions.
