Jamboard vs. Figjam (which whiteboard app is better?)

August 1, 2023 by John R. Sowash

Note: Jamboard was discontinued by Google in December 2024. All existing Jamboard files have been converted into PDFs. Please watch this video for my recommended alternatives.

Jamboard and Figjam are two popular whiteboard applications that are great for open-ended collaboration. Which one is better? That’s what I want to find out in this video!

Both of these tools are free and feature tools for open ended collaboration: drawing, shapes, text, sickers, etc. This video focuses on some key differences between Figjam and Jamboard so that you can figure out which one is right for your classroom.

Thanks to @Figma for sponsoring this video! Teachers & students can use Fig Jam for free! Click here to get started!
