Permanent Free Trial and More Advanced Features
EdrawMind is free for basic use and doesn't set time-limited trials. Besides, it has more reliable functionalities and works well in making mind maps, tracking project processes, creating Gantt charts, brainstorming, and auto-creating slides. Freeplane struggles to support classic mind mapping and has fewer choices in drawing creative mind maps.


Helpful Export Capabilities to Share Mind Maps
When your mind map is complete, EdrawMind supports you in exporting your designs to several commonly-used file formats, including PNG, JPG, ICO, TIF, SVG, PDF, PS, DOCX, PPTX, XLSX, and HTML. In addition, you can save your mind maps as a MindManager or EverNote file to open and present your ideas in different ways.
Mobile Support for Every User and Device
Freeplane is said to be portable because it can be run from removable storage like USB drives. But it requires the operating systems should have a current version of Java installed. EdrawMind launches its mobile apps for Android and iOS and provides EdrawMind Online that can run on any operating systems.


Collaborate with Your Team Members in Real Time
EdrawMind's collaboration feature allows you and your team members to work in the same document simultaneously. So, you can read, edit, and manage the mind map altogether, as well as insert clip art, pictures, hyperlinks, attachments, notes, and comments. While this feature in Freeplane is limited, it is not ideal for business or enterprise users.
