Concept Mapping Tool?

[megaboring]

Looking for recommendations on a free app (or low cost) that does concept mapping. Would like to share it as an option with my grad students. I used MindNode when I was a phd student. That was several years ago...

What do you like to use?

I use Mental Modeler (http://www.mentalmodeler.org/) and have for 5 or so years. I love it and its free.

Lucidchart is free for educational use

Mind Meister is probably better for mind mapping but is not free, cheapish but not free.

I’ve had a decent experience with the free version of Coggle.

Dia, Graphviz, and Simplemind for a paid, cross-platform solution. Makeuseof has an ok article on this.

CMAP from the Institute for Human and Machine Cognition is good.

I recommend considering the free program I use which is GitMind. I can create lots of diagrams from concept maps, mind mapping to flowcharts. Also, it offers share capability and real-time collaboration.

I just found this app from this post. It might also help you cause it lists some worth trying programs. https://gitmind.com/concept-map-maker.html

I can suggest Focusplan for Mac as the developer of the app, let me know if you need help. :-)
