Kollabe
5.5Agile meetings made easy — retros, standups and planning poker
Kollabe began life as a planning poker tool and has extended into retrospectives and standups — the estimation side remains the centre of gravity, with retros and standups added as adjacent rituals rather than the headline product. It bundles icebreakers, anonymous input, AI summaries and sync-back to Jira, GitHub, Linear and Azure DevOps in a flat per-space workspace. Recent additions include a Slack-based async standup flow, a public API and MCP server, and cross-ritual weekly reporting — though the retro module is still younger and less battle-tested than its estimation roots.

- + 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
- − Slack integration is standup-only (no retro summaries/actions to Slack); no Microsoft Teams yet
- − No SOC 2 / no advertised GDPR posture — weak for enterprise procurement
- − No dedicated health-check, team-radar or longitudinal pulse feature

- − Free tier caps meetings/month with 7-day history
Spreo — pros
- + Genuinely delightful, illustrated UI that energises in-person and remote retros
- + Broad template library (100+) covering retros, icebreakers, planning poker, futurespectives, planning and estimation

- + Facilitator controls, private writing mode and shareable team spaces
- + First AI feature shipped Feb 2026 — Sort into Topics auto-groups stickies into labelled topics
- + EU-hosted (Amsterdam) and GDPR-aligned (SOC 2 / ISO 27001 sit at the Digital Ocean infrastructure layer, not Spreo)
Spreo — cons
- − No async retro mode, no recurring or scheduled retros
- − No team health check or longitudinal pulse product; mood/radar work via whiteboard templates only
- − Integrations limited to Jira — no Slack, Teams, Confluence, GitHub, Linear or Azure DevOps
- − AI limited to one clustering feature — no summaries, action-item extraction, sentiment or coaching
- − No ongoing free plan; expired trials become read-only
- − SSO gated to a paid/Enterprise plan; no SCIM or audit logs advertised
