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.

Kollabe
5.6Agile meetings made easy — retros, standups and planning poker
Kollabe began life as a planning poker tool and has more recently extended into retrospectives — the estimation side remains the centre of gravity, with retros and standups added as adjacent rituals rather than the headline product. It now bundles 600+ icebreakers, anonymous voting, AI-generated summaries and sync-back to Jira, GitHub, Linear and Azure DevOps in a flat <strong>per-space</strong> workspace, though the retro experience is younger and less battle-tested than its estimation roots.

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
Kollabe — pros
- + Flat per-space pricing — unlimited team members on Premium ($29/mo)
- + Bundles retros, standups, planning poker and icebreakers in one tool
- + No-signup join links lower friction for ad-hoc participants
- + Direct sync-back to Jira, GitHub, Linear and Azure DevOps
- + Public API and MCP server access on Premium
Kollabe — cons
- − No Slack or Microsoft Teams integration
- − No SOC 2 / no advertised GDPR posture — weak for enterprise procurement
- − No dedicated health-check, team-radar or longitudinal pulse feature
- − Solo-founder operation; SSO/SAML and SLA gated behind Enterprise contact-sales
- − Free tier capped at ~4 meetings/month with 7-day history
