Ayoa
Mind mapping meets task management — the iMindMap successor with a neuro-inclusive pitch.
About
Ayoa is built by OpenGenius, the Welsh company behind the classic iMindMap, and positions itself as the successor: mind maps, whiteboards, task boards, and Gantt views in one workspace, with an explicit focus on neurodiverse thinking styles (ADHD, dyslexia). The free tier covers personal use with up to 10 maps, though whiteboards and task boards go view-only (per 2026 reviews). Paid plans are listed around $120 per user/year for the Mind Map or Task editions and $156/year for Ultimate (TrustRadius; figures vary across review sources). AI-assisted brainstorming and map generation are included on paid tiers (provider-claimed), and integrations cover Zoom, Google Calendar, Google Drive, Dropbox, and Evernote.
Honest limits: because it spans mapping and task management, there is more interface to learn than a pure mapper; commercial use requires a paid plan; and pricing figures differ between review sites, so confirm on the official page. No published performance benchmarks found.

Strengths: rare map-plus-tasks combo, genuine iMindMap pedigree, accessibility-minded design.
