Kollabe
5.6Agile meetings made easy — retros, standups and planning poker
Kollabe began life as a planning poker tool and has more recently extended into retrospectives — the estimation side remains the centre of gravity, with retros and standups added as adjacent rituals rather than the headline product. It now bundles 600+ icebreakers, anonymous voting, AI-generated summaries and sync-back to Jira, GitHub, Linear and Azure DevOps in a flat <strong>per-space</strong> workspace, though the retro experience is younger and less battle-tested than its estimation roots.

Lucidspark
6.2Lucid Software's whiteboard with AI co-creation, breakout boards and tight Lucidchart integration
Lucidspark is the whiteboard product from Lucid Software (makers of Lucidchart) — an infinite canvas with sticky notes, voting, timer, breakout boards, AI sticky-note clustering and summary, and bidirectional sync with Lucidchart for diagrams. Strong enterprise posture inherited from Lucid: SSO/SAML, SCIM, SOC 2 Type 2, ISO 27001, GDPR and HIPAA-eligible deployments.
Full review →Summary
Kollabe scores 5.6 overall and is best for small to mid-size agile teams that want retros, standups and planning poker in one clean tool — without per-seat pricing. It offers a free tier.
Lucidspark scores 6.2 overall and is best for engineering and PM teams already on Lucidchart who want sticky-note retros and brainstorming on the same platform — and whose security review favours a SOC 2 / ISO 27001 vendor. It offers a free tier.
Kollabe leads on ease of use, retro toolkit and value. Lucidspark leads on AI & insights, integrations and enterprise-grade.
Across our seven scoring dimensions, Lucidspark edges ahead with an overall score of 6.2. That said, the right pick depends on your team — see the dimension-by-dimension breakdown below.

Kollabe — pros
- + Flat per-space pricing — unlimited team members on Premium ($29/mo)
- + Bundles retros, standups, planning poker and icebreakers in one tool
- + No-signup join links lower friction for ad-hoc participants
- + Direct sync-back to Jira, GitHub, Linear and Azure DevOps
- + Public API and MCP server access on Premium
Kollabe — cons
- − No Slack or Microsoft Teams integration
- − No SOC 2 / no advertised GDPR posture — weak for enterprise procurement
- − No dedicated health-check, team-radar or longitudinal pulse feature
- − Solo-founder operation; SSO/SAML and SLA gated behind Enterprise contact-sales
- − Free tier capped at ~4 meetings/month with 7-day history
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, GDPR, HIPAA-eligible, SSO/SAML, SCIM
- + 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 features lag Miro and FigJam — clustering and summary are present but not as polished
- − 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
