The Verdict
Eraser is built for engineering teams and solution architects, with a focus on diagrams-as-code and ai-diagrams. Pitch targets startup pitches and sales decks and leads with real-time-collaboration and templates.
Pricing is close: Pitch starts at $8/mo versus $10/mo for Eraser — not a deciding factor on its own.
Both offer free plans, so you can test each with your real workflow before committing to a subscription.
