FigJam
6.9Figma'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.

Strong enterprise posture inherited from Lucid: SSO/SAML, SCIM, SOC 2 Type 2, ISO 27001/27701, FedRAMP, GDPR, and US/EU/AU data residency.

FigJam — pros
- + Cheap $3/user/mo Collab seat unlocks unlimited boards without a full Figma editor seat
- + Free tier includes real AI credits (150/day, 500/month) and the full retro toolkit
- + Same login and platform as Figma — zero friction for design-led teams
- + Playful, engaging UX (audio, music, stamps, expressive cursors) lifts retro fun factor
- + 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
- − Free Starter caps teams at 3 FigJam boards — a recurring retro practice outgrows it fast
- − Built primarily for designers; agile coaches sometimes find the canvas paradigm fiddly for structured retros
Lucidspark — pros
- + Tight integration with Lucidchart — switch between diagram and whiteboard on the same canvas
- + Breakout Boards let you split a workshop or retro into parallel rooms
- + Strong enterprise posture: SOC 2 Type 2, ISO 27001/27701, FedRAMP, GDPR, SSO/SAML, SCIM, US/EU/AU data residency
- + Generous integration set: Jira, Slack, Teams, Confluence, Azure DevOps, Asana
- + Free tier exists and is enough to evaluate the tool
Lucidspark — cons
- − No native anonymous voting — names always visible on stickies
- − 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
- − Free tier is restrictive: 3 boards and 100 shapes/board limits real use beyond evaluation
- − Brand is best known for diagramming; retro template depth trails Miro and Mural
