6.4Lucid Software's whiteboard with the Lucid AI assistant and tight Lucidchart integration — voting, timers and facilitator tools start at the Team tier
Lucidspark is the whiteboard product from Lucid Software (makers of Lucidchart) — an infinite canvas with sticky notes, private-mode brainstorming, anonymous voting sessions, timers, the Lucid AI assistant (prompt-to-board, clustering, summaries) and bidirectional sync with Lucidchart for diagrams. Voting, timers and facilitator tools start at the Team tier; Breakout Boards and the Jira/Azure DevOps card sync are Enterprise-only. Strong enterprise posture inherited from Lucid: SSO/SAML, SCIM, SOC 2 Type 2, ISO 27001/27701/42001, FedRAMP, IRAP, GDPR, and US/EU/AU data residency.
Full review →Summary

Lucidspark scores 6.4 overall and is best for engineering and PM teams already on Lucidchart who want sticky-note retros and brainstorming on the same platform — and whose security review favours a SOC 2 / ISO 27001 vendor. It offers a free tier.

EasyRetro — pros
- + Extremely easy to use with minimal setup friction and a clean drag-and-drop board
- + Library of 100+ retrospective templates spanning multiple categories and languages
- + Clean export options including Confluence, Jira (now bulk), PDF, CSV, PNG, Excel and DOCX
- + Flat per-team pricing with unlimited members — $60/mo covers three teams of any size
- + Still actively maintained — hide-column and on-the-fly timer controls shipped in 2026, and the web app was rebuilt from AngularJS onto Vue mid-2026
EasyRetro — cons
- − No native health checks, mood tracking or longitudinal trend reporting
- − AI is limited to a single board-summary feature — no auto-grouping, AI action items, sentiment, or template generation
- − Integration set is narrow and mostly export-only — no GitHub, Linear or Azure DevOps; the Teams integration embeds boards as tabs rather than pushing action items
- − Vendor itself isn't SOC 2 / ISO 27001 certified (relies on GCP); data sits in US Central with no EU residency option, SAML SSO starts at the $90/mo tier, and there's no SCIM
- − Free plan allows 2 public boards per month, keeps only 2 boards on the dashboard (archived ones included), and excludes teams and team boards entirely
Lucidspark — pros
- + Tight integration with Lucidchart — switch between diagram and whiteboard on the same canvas
- + <em>Private mode</em> hides sticky note authors until the session ends, and a voting session can be set fully anonymous
- + Strong enterprise posture: SOC 2 Type 2, ISO 27001/27701/42001, FedRAMP, IRAP, GDPR, SSO/SAML, SCIM, US/EU/AU data residency
- + Official Lucid MCP server is GA and shipping monthly — search boards, summarise them, generate synced Jira cards from Claude or ChatGPT
- + Lucid AI is included on every tier today, free plan included
Lucidspark — cons
- − Voting, timers and facilitator tools start at the $10/user Team tier — the free plan's three boards can't run a facilitated retro
- − Breakout Boards and the Lucid Cards sync to Jira/Azure DevOps are Enterprise-only
- − No health checks, recurring retros, action carryover or cross-team rollup
- − AI is general brainstorming/clustering, not retro-aware — no sentiment, action-item extraction or trend insight across retros
- − Retro template depth trails Miro and Mural, and the REST API needs a Team or Enterprise account
