Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Miro at 39% against Alfresco Mobile Workspace's 0%. Miro also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (5.9K vs 1). Alfresco Mobile Workspace's advantage is monetization model (free vs freemium) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Alfresco Mobile Workspace holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Miro has 5.9K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 39% of Miro's written reviews are positive against 0% of Alfresco Mobile Workspace's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Miro ships an update fortnightly, Alfresco Mobile Workspace every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
