Whiteboard Fox alternative

Like Whiteboard Fox, with a whole board around the drawing.

Whiteboard Fox nails the basics: a link, a pen, people drawing together. Builderii keeps drawing together just as live, and gives the drawing somewhere to go: sticky notes, templates, mind maps and flowcharts, and an AI that sorts it all out.

Works in your browser · No card · Free to start

A retrospective whiteboard with freehand marker drawing: a red circle and arrow, green ticks, a blue underline, a highlighted note and a doodled smiley.

In short

Whiteboard Fox is a simple online whiteboard: open a board and draw with other people, with no account needed for basic use. Builderii asks for a free account to draw, and in return your boards are saved with version history, and you get sticky notes, templates, mind maps, flowcharts, voting, a timer, comments and AI on the same infinite canvas. Anyone you share a link with can watch live without an account. For a quick sketch with no sign-up at all, Whiteboard Fox is quicker.

Questions

Good questions.

Do I need an account?

To draw and edit, a free account, with Google or an email address. To watch, none: anyone with a board’s share link can view it and see edits live, as a named guest with their own cursor.

Can several people draw at the same time?

Yes. Everyone with edit access draws on the same board live, and sees each other’s cursors and strokes as they happen.

Can I bring my Whiteboard Fox drawings?

There’s no import. Save a drawing as an image and drop it on a Builderii board to keep drawing over it.

Is Builderii free?

Yes, to start. Builderii’s Free plan has every feature and 200 AI jobs a month per person, for up to 2 boards with up to 50 components on each. Pro takes those limits off for $10 a month billed yearly, or $12 month to month.
