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.

Retro Rabbit
4.8Slack-first retrospectives with async note capture
Retro Rabbit is a Slack-native retrospective tool that lets teams capture notes throughout the sprint with a /retro command, then runs the retro on a synced web board with voting, action items and an optional CarrotIQ AI assistant. <em>Public update cadence appears slow — verify the product is still actively maintained before committing.</em>

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
Retro Rabbit — pros
- + Genuine Slack-first workflow — capture notes via /retro during the sprint, not just at retro time
- + Reduces recency bias by collecting feedback continuously, not in a 5-minute silent write
- + Simple, opinionated UX with drag/drop grouping and dot voting
- + CarrotIQ AI handles grouping, action items and summaries on the Pro AI plan
- + Per-team flat pricing scales cleanly for small squads
Retro Rabbit — cons
- − Slack is the only chat/issue-tracker integration — no Jira, Teams, Confluence, GitHub, Linear or Azure DevOps
- − No health checks, team radars or longitudinal trend reporting
- − No org-level dashboards, cross-team rollups or action kanban
- − Enterprise controls are thin: SSO is Enterprise-tier only, no SCIM, no audit logs, no documented GDPR posture
- − Per-team flat pricing — 3 teams of 8 lands at $90/mo on the Starter tier
