Overview
Coggle is a browser-based tool for mind maps and flowcharts, built around several people editing the same diagram at once. It suits students, individuals and small teams who want to sketch notes, ideas and processes together without installing anything. A free plan covers three private diagrams and unlimited public ones, and paid plans are billed monthly, per member for organisations.
Our take
Pick Coggle when a group wants to grow an idea map together and a low monthly price matters more than a long feature list. If you want generated maps, presentations or task planning on top of the map, Mindomo or MindMeister cover more ground instead, and a team drawing formal process or architecture diagrams is better served by Lucidchart or draw.io.

How we check reviews
Reviews are not published yet. The form on a tool's page works and reaches us, but nothing from it appears on this site, so no score here is based on a review. The rules below are the ones that will apply once reviews go live.
Every review is read by a person before it appears. We require a working email address and use it to come back to the author, so a review has a reachable sender rather than being anonymous. We publish positive and negative reviews alike, we pay nothing and offer nothing for a review, and we accept none that was bought or incentivised.
What we cannot do is verify a purchase. There is no shop here and no account, so whether the author really used the tool rests on what they tell us, plus the plausibility of what they write. We say so rather than implying a check that does not exist.
A vendor cannot have a review removed, cannot buy one, and cannot have one changed. Paid placement and a paid listing have no effect on which reviews appear or on any score.
