Lucidcharts has promise but their subscription model isn't working out for business use in large organisations.

Lucidchart seems to target large accounts but their business model seems tuned for small businesses.

  Companies wants to centralize licensing and not add yet another vendor. Since you can't subscribe through normal licensing channels, the tool isn't widely adopted.

For personal use, I can't justify the subscription cost and I tend to avoid subscriptions for anything for better budget management.

Interestingly, a recent survey of enterprise Google domains found Lucidchart as the 8th most popular web application in enterprises:

What is not working for companies today is the $250 - $1000 price tag for each license of Microsoft Visio.
