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
Miro — pros
- + Enormous template library (5,000+) and Miroverse community for retro formats
- + AI clustering groups sticky notes by sentiment, tag, author and keyword; Sidekicks and Flows extend AI deeper into the canvas
- + Best-in-class integration catalog (Jira, Azure DevOps, Asana, Confluence, Slack, Teams) with two-way sync
- + Enterprise-grade SSO, SCIM, audit logs, ISO 27001, ISO 42001 (AI governance) and EU/US/AU data residency
- + Same canvas works for discovery, planning and retros — no context switching
Miro — cons
- − Per-seat pricing: a 24-person org pays ~$192/mo on the Starter tier (annual), well above retro-native tools at that headcount
- − No native health checks, mood tracking or longitudinal team-pulse
- − No recurring retros, scheduling, action carryover or cross-team rollup — facilitators rebuild structure each sprint
- − Jira/Azure DevOps/Asana sync and SSO sit behind the $20/user/mo Business tier; SCIM and audit logs only on Enterprise (30-seat min)
- − No built-in retro report or action-tracker dashboard
