Is Atlas Diagram Studio a Creately alternative?

Yes. It covers the same broad set of diagram types with real-time collaboration, adds AI text-to-diagram, and keeps diagrams on the same data model as your projects and docs.

Does Atlas support many diagram types like Creately?

Yes: flowcharts, UML, ERD, BPMN, sequence, mind maps, wireframes, network, and cloud architecture, among others.

Can I import my existing diagrams?

Atlas imports Mermaid and .drawio, plus images and standard vector formats, so migration is incremental.
