Frequently asked questions

How do I make a mind map of Google's history for an exam?

Start with the founding, the core products, and the major acquisitions, then give each its own branch. Add dates and one key fact per sub-point so the map works as a quick review sheet.

How many branches should a study mind map have?

Most useful maps have 4 to 7 main branches, each with 2 to 4 sub-points. Fewer branches can mean the topic is too broad to recall, and more than that makes the map hard to scan.

Is there a free plan for mind maps?

Yes. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser, but no exports. Plus adds unlimited generations and PDF, DOCX, Anki, and CSV exports for $39/year or $7.99/month.

Do students get a discount?

Students get 40% off with a school email. No credit card is needed to start.
