Miro is great for workshops. ALLO is built for the project that follows.

Brainstorms create useful material. The next step is turning that material into a structured project with files, owners, decisions, and a final direction. That is where ALLO fits.

The strengths become the problem

An infinite canvas feels freeing for an hour, but leads to coordination chaos by week two. The board fills up. People can't find the latest version. The client you share it with opens it, sees a thousand sticky notes, and asks you to send something simpler.

What's different in ALLO

ALLO provides structure that survives the brainstorm. It reads top to bottom, like a page. The people you share with don't need an account or a lesson; they open a link and read the decisions.

On AI, the two tools point in opposite directions

Miro's AI is useful for generating ideas during workshop-style work. ALLO's AI is built around what happens next: keeping generated material beside the files, comments, and decisions that move the project forward.

Generation is cheap. Decisions are scarce.

What's missing at most companies isn't more generation; it's the place that turns all that output into decisions a team can stand behind. That's the job ALLO is built for.

Miro is the right tool for some things.

We're not going to pretend Miro is bad. It's the best workshop facilitation tool on the market. If your team runs frequent design sprints, ideation sessions, or large cross-functional workshops with sticky notes, votes, and timers, Miro is built for that.

What Miro is less suited for: the structured work after the workshop. Files-as-substance projects. Team collaboration that lasts months. Stakeholders who were not in the room and need a clear project record.

ALLO is built for projects that outlive a meeting.

ALLO is the project room where a project lives from kickoff through launch. Each project has Kanban, Timeline, List, and Dashboard views. The card is the canvas. Goals link to canvases. The product is built around projects that ship, not workshops that end.

“Use Miro for the workshop. Use ALLO for the project.”

When teams use both.

Many teams keep both tools. Here's the typical pattern.

Miro for the kickoff

Cross-functional workshop in week one, stickies, voting, breakout groups, timed exercises. Miro is unbeatable for this.

Export the outcome

The themes, decisions, and direction get distilled into a project brief, usually in 30 minutes after the workshop.

ALLO for the build

The brief, references, mockups, feedback, and final assets all live in one ALLO project canvas as the team moves toward launch.

Already using Miro? Bring the important work over.

ALLO does not have a one-click Miro importer yet. Teams usually move the important outputs manually: briefs, references, decisions, and files that need to live with the project.

Talk to us about migration

Frequently asked.

Should we replace Miro entirely?

Probably not. Miro is excellent for workshops. ALLO is excellent for the project work that follows. Most teams use both.

Can ALLO do voting, timers, and other workshop facilitation?

Limited. ALLO has comments and reactions, but doesn't have Miro's full facilitation toolkit. If your team runs structured workshops weekly, keep Miro.

What about pricing?

Verify current Miro pricing on miro.com. ALLO pricing is organized around workspace plans, sharing permissions, storage, and AI credits, so admins can choose what the project needs.

Can clients access ALLO canvases without an account?

Yes, where sharing permissions are enabled. ALLO's structured page-like format is designed to be easier for clients and stakeholders to read without a workshop walkthrough.

The honest version

Use Miro for the workshop. Use ALLO for the structured project work that follows.

ALLO is what comes after the workshop.
