6. Seamless integrations - GitHub, Confluence, Notion, so you embed diagrams without leaving your workflow.
7. Unlimited public diagrams on the free plan - get started without spending.
8. Private diagram limit (5 on free) - upgrade if you need more.
9. Unlimited storage on paid plans - no more dreaded "disk full" alerts.
10. Enterprise-grade security - SOC 2 compliance, role-based access. Target audience & use cases: I've seen product managers, dev leads, and even educators use Mermaid Chart to map user journeys, sprint boards, and architecture blueprints. It's a perfect fit for tech teams that already write code and want diagrams that stay in sync with repos.
In schools, teachers use it to build mind maps and lesson plans that students can tweak in class. Unique advantages over alternatives: Unlike Lucidchart's heavy UI or Draw.io's clutter, Mermaid Chart feels lightweight and code-centric. The freemium model means you can test it out for free before committing, and the AI helper lowers the learning curve for non-developers.
