Miro alternative
A Miro Alternative for Filmmakers and Creative Teams
Miro is a whiteboard for everything. Clusters is a canvas built specifically for visual, reference-driven creative work.
Soleil Clusters is a Miro alternative purpose-built for creative reference work: image-first cards with photo adjustments, color palettes, docs and screenplay mode, auto-tagging, and a relationship graph that ties a mood board to a storyboard to a shot list. Choose Miro for enterprise diagramming and workshops; choose Clusters for film, photo, and design pre-production.
Purpose-built beats general-purpose
Miro is a powerful general whiteboard for diagrams, workshops, and sticky-note sessions. Clusters is tuned for creative reference work: image-first cards with photo adjustments, color palettes, docs and screenplay mode, auto-tagging, and a relationship graph that connects a mood board to a storyboard to a shot list. For film, photo, and design teams, the whole tool is pointed at your workflow instead of everyone’s.
- Image-first cards with photo adjustments and palettes
- Docs and screenplay mode built in
- Auto-tagging and a relationship graph across boards
Lighter, and made for showing work
Clusters shares as a clean, interactive preview a client can open with one link — no workspace invite, no learning curve, no diagramming clutter. It is designed for the moment you present references, not just the moment you brainstorm them.
Your client should not need a Miro account
The moment of truth for a creative board is showing it. With Miro, that usually means inviting someone into a workspace and hoping they find their way around. A Clusters board is one link: the client opens a clean, read-only presentation view in the browser — no account, no seat, no toolbar to explain.
- One link — no workspace invite or account
- A clean read-only view made for presenting
- You control visibility and search indexing per board
Where Miro still wins
If your core need is enterprise diagramming, agile ceremonies, or a huge integrations marketplace, Miro is built for that and Clusters is not trying to be. Choose Clusters when the work is visual reference, mood, and pre-production for a creative team.

Frequently asked questions
Why choose Clusters over Miro?
Clusters is purpose-built for visual creative work — mood boards, look books, storyboards, and film pre-production — with image adjustments, palettes, auto-tagging, and a relationship graph. Miro is a general whiteboard; Clusters is pointed at creative reference workflows.
Is Miro overkill for mood boards?
For many creative teams, yes. Miro is powerful for diagramming and workshops, but a reference-first tool like Clusters is lighter and better tuned for mood boards, look books, and storyboards.
Can clients view a Clusters board without an account?
Yes. Share a link and they see a clean, interactive read-only preview — no workspace invite required.
Does Clusters have a free tier?
Yes. The Demo tier is free; Creator is $25/mo for unlimited cards, 100GB storage, and any file type.
Is there a simpler Miro alternative for mood boards?
Yes — Clusters. It keeps the infinite collaborative canvas but strips the diagramming clutter, and adds the creative pieces Miro lacks: photo adjustments, color palettes, docs, and screenplay mode.
Can my team use Clusters without per-seat pricing?
Yes. Creator is a flat $25/mo — not a per-member subscription — and anyone you share with can open a board free with one link.
