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.
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.
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.
