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
Neatro — pros
- + Guided four-step framework that reliably produces psychological safety
- + Team Radar is a proper recurring health check, not a repurposed template
- + Automatic ROTI survey on every retro closes the feedback loop
- + Action carryover and a Kanban tracker keep follow-through visible between sessions
- + Generous free tier (up to 10 members, 70+ templates) and active blog/facilitation content
Neatro — cons
- − No native Slack or Microsoft Teams integration for notifications or reminders
- − No AI features at all — no clustering, summaries, sentiment, or action-item extraction
- − Per-team pricing model gets awkward as the org scales beyond a handful of squads
- − Not independently SOC 2, ISO 27001 or GDPR certified — relies on Azure's underlying certifications
- − No cross-team rollups, org-level dashboard, SCIM, or audit logs
