FigJam
6.7Figma's whiteboard with AI-assisted clustering, voting and a free tier that includes meaningful AI credits
FigJam is the whiteboard product inside Figma — sticky notes, voting, timer, audio, music, expressive cursor stamps, an AI co-pilot that clusters and summarises sticky notes, and dozens of community retro templates. Sits inside the Figma platform so design and product teams already living there get retros without buying a second tool, with Figma's strong SSO/SCIM and SOC 2 enterprise posture on Org+/Enterprise plans.

FigJam — pros
- + Generous free tier with real AI credits (150/day, 500/month) baked in
- + Same login and platform as Figma — zero friction for design-led teams
- + Playful, engaging UX (audio, music, stamps, expressive cursors) lifts retro fun factor
- + AI clustering, summary and template suggestions are well integrated
- + Strong enterprise posture inherited from Figma: SAML, SCIM, SOC 2, ISO 27001
FigJam — cons
- − No native action-item tracking, recurring retros or health checks
- − Anonymous mode is weak — no built-in 'private until reveal' equivalent
- − No Microsoft Teams or Azure DevOps integration
- − Pricing is per-seat across Figma plans — paying for a full editor seat ($16+/mo) just to host retros is expensive
- − Built primarily for designers; agile coaches sometimes find the canvas paradigm fiddly for structured retros
GoRetro — pros
- + Generous free tier with unlimited public boards and team members
- + Polished, real-time facilitation UX with strong template library
- + Bundles planning poker, capacity calculator and sprint monitor with retros
- + Tight Jira Cloud integration for sprint-data-driven discussions
- + SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001 and SAML SSO available on Organization tier
GoRetro — cons
- − Slack integration sits behind paid tiers; SAML SSO requires Organization tier
- − Integration breadth is narrow: no native MS Teams, Azure DevOps, GitHub, Linear, Confluence or Trello
- − AI story is thin: 'Joker cards' and meeting recap export rather than real AI clustering, summaries or sentiment
- − No async mode, no whiteboard, no scheduling/recurring retros
- − Per-team pricing scales unevenly across many squads, and cross-team rollups are thin
