Flocci Draw vs tldraw
Both Flocci Draw and tldraw open an instant free whiteboard with no signup and real-time collaboration. Flocci Draw adds a signed-in cloud canvas library, a hand-drawn diagram aesthetic, and INR credit pricing across the Flocci suite; tldraw's distinctive strength is its commercial SDK for embedding canvases in your own app.
tldraw is two things: a very good free whiteboard at tldraw.com, and — primarily — a canvas SDK that developers license to build whiteboard features into their own products. Flocci Draw is one thing: a personal-and-team drawing app with a managed cloud around it.
For end users the practical differences are the aesthetic (tldraw's cleaner strokes vs Flocci Draw's sketchy hand-drawn look), and what happens to your boards over time: Flocci Draw gives every signed-in user a persistent canvas library with autosave, switching, and revocable share roles, priced in credits rather than seats.

Frequently asked questions
Which is better for keeping boards long-term?
Flocci Draw — a signed-in user gets a named canvas library with cloud autosave and one-click switching, so boards from months ago are one click away. tldraw's free app centres on live rooms and browser persistence.
Are both really free?
Both let you draw free without signup. Flocci Draw's cloud features run on a free 500-credit monthly allowance with INR top-ups; tldraw monetizes primarily through its developer SDK, not the end-user app.
