Lucidchart

rating aligns with reviews

Lucidchart is a powerful web service for flowcharts and diagrams with a rich shape library and collaboration. The mobile app is effectively dead for solo users: the company restricted it to Team and Enterprise plans. Productively strong, but it has strategically abandoned its individual user base.

About the rating

storeAvg 4.59, textAvg 2.68, pct5 31%. Large gap, but explained by a specific cause: Lucidchart cut mobile app access for individual paid users, leaving it only for team plans. The wave of one-star reviews is a real response to a real company decision, not a storefront star that diverges from review text.

A mismatch is an analytical signal, not proof that the rating was manipulated.

Strengths

What users love

  • Cross-platform collaboration: multiple participants edit a diagram at the same time
  • See each other's cursors
  • And leave comments directly on the canvas.
Weak spots

What users hate

  • The mobile app is unavailable on individual plans. Users with annual subscriptions are forced to open a browser on their phone instead of using a native client.

Who it is for

Teams that need to collaboratively draw complex architectural or business diagrams and are paying for a corporate plan.
