I’ve been testing the free version for the past month or so. You can create thoughts and add notes, but you cannot use tags or thought types, nor attach file links. However, you can sync to Android, so the free version is already a good mindmapping application in its own right. I would like to get the pro version to use thought types and tags for better classification.

I made a comparison to ExcaliBrain, which I share here for interest.
+ The Brain advantage
- The Brain disadvantage
= Both the same

TheBrain comparison with Obsidian ExcaliBrain
- A lot more expensive
- Lacks attributes / properties
= Tags are used for attributes
- No note templates
- Very limited Android app
+ Can handle very large number of thoughts
+ Change depth of visible linked items
+ Change sort order of thoughts in the view
+ Curved lines
+ Directly create linked notes
+ Easy to move and relink notes
+ Easy to extract child thoughts
+ Web access from a browser
+ Automated sync
= Colour schemes for formatting notes
= Link typing
= Markdown notes
= Thought formatting
= Thought types and tags
