FigJam

7.3

Figma's whiteboard with AI sticky clustering, an official MCP server that reaches FigJam boards, and a $3 Collab seat — free tier caps at 3 boards

FigJam is the whiteboard product inside Figma — sticky notes, timer, music, expressive cursor stamps, voting sessions, an AI co-pilot that sorts and summarises stickies, and 300+ ready-made templates including community retro boards. Design and product teams already living in Figma get retros without buying a second tool, backed by Figma's SAML/SCIM, SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001 and Enterprise data residency in the EU, Australia, India and Brazil. Figma's official MCP server reads and writes FigJam boards on every plan, including free. Voting sessions, open guest sessions, audio chat and webhooks all require a paid team; publishing custom templates requires Organization.

4.3

Structured online retrospectives with team radar

Trune (formerly Fraankly) is an EU-built retrospective and team-feedback tool that runs a fixed four-phase session — silent writing, presenting, voting, actions — with 14 pre-built templates plus custom ones, anonymous cards, drag-to-group clustering, dot voting, action items with reminder emails, and team radars including the Spotify Squad Health Check. Hosted in Frankfurt with EU-only application data, available in five UI languages, and exports results to Excel, CSV or an emailed PDF.

Summary

FigJam scores 7.3 overall and is best for design and product teams already on Figma who want retros on the same platform as their design files, with playful engagement, AI sticky clustering and an agent-accessible canvas. It offers a free tier.

Trune.io scores 4.3 overall and is best for small EU-based agile teams that want a simple, <strong>GDPR-aligned</strong> retro tool with templates, grouping, voting, and team radars — and can live with a vendor whose public site is currently offline and whose app has not shipped a release in a year. It offers a free tier.

FigJam leads on ease of use, fun factor, AI & insights, integrations, open platform and enterprise-grade. Trune.io leads on retro toolkit.

Across our eight scoring dimensions, FigJam edges ahead with an overall score of 7.3. That said, the right pick depends on your team — see the dimension-by-dimension breakdown below.

FigJam — pros

  • + Cheap $3/user/mo Collab seat unlocks unlimited boards without a full Figma editor seat
  • + Free Starter tier includes real AI credits (150/day, 500/month), 300+ templates, the timer, music and AI Sort/Summarize
  • + Playful, engaging UX — stamps, emotes, high-fives, music, cursor chat — lifts retro fun factor
  • + Best open platform of any whiteboard here: REST API on every plan, webhooks on paid, and an <strong>official MCP server that reads and writes FigJam boards</strong> on all plans
  • + Strong enterprise posture inherited from Figma: SAML, SCIM, activity logs, SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, and Enterprise data residency in the EU, Australia, India and Brazil

FigJam — cons

  • − No native action-item tracking, recurring retros or health checks
  • − Anonymity is weak — votes reveal who voted once the session ends, and stickies always carry a name
  • − Official connectors embed Figma files in Jira/Confluence/Linear/Notion rather than pushing action items out; GitHub-issue creation is a community widget; no Azure DevOps
  • − Free Starter caps a team at 3 FigJam files and excludes voting, audio chat, no-account guest links and webhooks; publishing custom templates needs Organization
  • − Built primarily for designers — the canvas paradigm is fiddly for structured retros, and large boards get sluggish

Trune.io — pros

  • + EU/Frankfurt data residency and GDPR-first posture — even the truneGPT assistant runs on an EU-hosted function
  • + Per-team (not per-seat) pricing: $19/mo covers unlimited members, and the free tier gives 5 full sessions
  • + Native two-way Azure DevOps sync — action items out as work items, Done status back in
  • + Team radars include the Spotify Squad Health Check plus fully custom radars
  • + Ships in five UI languages (English, German, Dutch, French, Italian) and exports to Excel, CSV or an emailed PDF

Trune.io — cons

  • − <strong>trune.io has been returning a WordPress fatal error on every page since late July 2026</strong> — pricing, sign-up and support included. Only the app at app.trune.io still loads
  • − No SSO, SCIM, SOC 2, or audit logs — not enterprise-ready
  • − Both native mobile apps are 404 on the App Store and Google Play, and the web app has not been redeployed since September 2025
  • − AI stops at truneGPT, a ChatGPT-4 chat assistant — no clustering, summaries or action extraction
  • − Azure DevOps is the only native connector and needs the pricier Professional tier; everything else is a single one-way Zapier trigger
