The Verdict
Eraser is built for engineering teams and solution architects, with a focus on diagrams-as-code and ai-diagrams. Stormboard targets facilitators and meeting leaders and leads with sticky-notes and templates.
Both tools come in at similar price points ($10/mo for Eraser, $10/mo for Stormboard), so pricing won't make the decision for you.
Both offer free plans, so you can test each with your real workflow before committing to a subscription.
Eraser edges out on user ratings (4.5 vs 4.1). While both are well-regarded, that gap reflects real differences in user satisfaction worth considering.
Feature-wise, Eraser offers broader built-in capabilities (7 features vs 6), while Stormboard takes a more focused approach — which can mean a simpler, faster onboarding experience.
Bottom line: Eraser has a slight overall edge — but if good for brainstorming matters most to you, Stormboard may still be the right call.
