Why teams choose Lucidchart

Purpose-built for diagramming

Lucidchart makes it easy for anyone to build charts and diagrams of all types—everything from org charts and flowcharts to customer journey maps and timelines. Visme offers the ability to make visuals, but the platform is geared more toward creating design assets than visualizing and documenting complex ideas, systems, and processes.

Advanced data and automation capabilities

With features that support “intelligent” visualizations, Lucidchart gives you the power to transform complex data into actionable insights. For example, you can apply formulas for calculations, import data to generate diagrams automatically, or use data linking to add live data to visuals. Visme doesn’t support this level of complexity.

Integrations for broader use cases

Like Visme, Lucidchart integrates with Google Drive, OneDrive, and Slack. But Visme lacks core integrations with products such as Atlassian, Figma, and Microsoft. Visme offers fewer integrations than Lucidchart overall and doesn’t connect with apps designed to support broader use cases, such as BambooHR, LeanIX, ServiceNow, and more.

Real-time or anytime collaboration

Lucidchart boosts collaboration by allowing teams to build, edit, and comment on diagrams simultaneously. Visme allows users to work together on visuals, but it lacks Lucidchart’s advanced features, such as the ability to invite collaborators with a Join ID and to compare current and future states by toggling layers.

“The value is in the product’s simplicity—it’s easy to use and easy for anyone to understand, regardless of their technical level.”

Nathan Shaub — Senior Consultant at Credera

“Lucidchart promotes the efficiency and effectiveness of our teams, but better yet, it just makes creating diagrams and flows more accessible, more intuitive, and more consistent throughout the company. It takes away the worry or concern that employees have when making something that needs to look good.”

Anonymous — MessageBird

“I think organizations realize that Lucidchart is the tool of choice because of its visual modeling, layering, math functions, and collaboration capabilities. Nothing comes close.”

Dennis Jones — Agile Coach
