Comment summary: Lucidchart is praised for its intuitive interface and extensive shape library, making it easy to use for creating diagrams and flowcharts. Users find it beneficial for team collaboration and appreciate its cloud-based versatility. While it is celebrated for its compatibility with various operating systems and import features, some critique its limitations for free users and the web-based model's reliance on an internet connection. Overall, it's seen as a cost-effective alternative to Visio with a few noted drawbacks.

After using draw.io icon draw.io for an extended period of time, my personal preference is lucidchart.

Lucidchart and its sister company Lucidpress has a higher priority focus on being easily able to print out the diagrams you make, making it significantly easier to share with people that aren't tech inclined. Draw.io lets you print but lucidchart is more restrictive from the start.

I would say Lucidchart is analogous to AdobeIndesign as Draw.io is to Onenote when it comes to print-based settings. All of them can print, some are restrictive upfront with your workable space / canvas (Lucid chart, indesign) whereas some give you too much room to play around with (Onenote, Draw.io) and can be messy to maintain as a result.

Its free with limited functionality but i think its worth the price.

I find the UI significantly easier to navigate and faster with Lucidchart over draw.io

Lucidchart is a great tool for creating diagrams, flowcharts, and visual representations of ideas. Its intuitive interface and extensive library of shapes make it easy to simplify complex processes. The tool can be used for varierty of purposes and allows for real time collaboration which are helpful to either build a process together or use as demonstration.

There is so much to Lucidchart to love. All of it, in fact! The usability is great yet somehow still advancing daily, while the functionality is key to deliver successfully in all aspects of my work life.

Definitely one of the best diagramming software out there and it is very beginner-friendly.

Great amount of features, but if it's worth depends on how often you use diagramming tools. It has a steep learning curve, but has some pretty useful features/shortcuts once you adjust to it.

I would like to rate all web-based app only 1 star. These software company only focus how to ensure the money getting, instead of considering people work off-line, or in poor internet. If you consider the people in poor condition do not have the right to use your software, yes you did.
