I can't imagine paying this much money (TheBrain or iMindMap) every month or year when you can get options that are, imo, just as good with MindMup or MindNode.
The only software that really looks a bit different is TheBrain, because it can zoom into a highlighted node, as if it were the main node... But I really don't see why that's worth hundreds of dollars. Although I can see why a university or business might make use of it if it can handle much larger maps. (I do very large book mapping in MindNode and MindMup and have never run out of room)

Do you mind offering some comparing and contrasting, and pros and cons of these two programs?
Thanks!

In the long run, iMindmap is the best because you don’t have to upgrade every six months but every two years and you get 60% off to upgrade. Besides, you don’t have to upgrade unless you want the new extra features.

Michael,
I totally agree about pricing in TheBrain. I owned an old version from years back that I got on discount through my job and still use that version. I have not and will not upgrade or move to a subscription based plan. Having said that, I still think it is the best tool in this space simply because it does not use a central node. About 10 years back, a few of the members in the forum built some really cool brains based on books of the bible which turned out really well but required ALOT of work to build and then update. Still, if the OP can find a copy of this tool I would recommend it. Short of that, just go with something cheaper/free like imind.

iMind has a 20% coupon for a little while today, so the basic home/ student version is $80 after the savings... worth it?

It’s worth it if you actually use it, if not save your money. I’d go for the Ultimate Edition, though...More functionality, which is what I own.

Hello, grace and peace.
I've used the cmap tools app for over 10 years to study academic articles and now I'm going to use it to study Church History. Like this there is a global community that produces and shares these maps. It is also free and the community is very active in this production.
ps: Sorry for the translation of the language.

Hi Everyone, Been wanting to organize my bible verses in a topical fashion (hierarchical) for a long time. That's made me look for a mind mapping tool. Would be grateful for any recommendation
Saw this thread mention multi-directional maps and TheBrain . Is anyone still using it

Welcome to the forums. I would still recommend The Brain ...

Actually my favorite tool, although fading memory may have enhanced its power, was Houdini - a very early hypertext tool.
You asked specifically about mind-maps so I answered specifically on mind-maps. The one I use most frequently is Inspiration 10 for its presentation graphics power. I recommend The Brain for large mind maps. I use other tools from Coursera courses or research projects to build graphs/networks in the mathematical AI sense and for formal modeling. The truth of the matter is that the best software for knowledge management/concept mapping/mind map/modeling/graphs is one that will (a) handle the volume of data you wish to include and (b) force you to clarify the errors in thought to which you are most prone.
