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.

- + Direct sync-back to Jira, GitHub, Linear and Azure DevOps

Kollabe — cons
- − No Slack or Microsoft Teams integration

- − Free tier capped at ~4 meetings/month with 7-day history
SprintRetro — pros
- + Genuinely free with unlimited users on your Jira instance
- + Pulls <strong>real sprint metrics</strong> (velocity, predictability, scope change, carryover, cycle time) into the retro context
- + Built on Atlassian Forge — runs entirely inside Jira Cloud, no external data egress
- + Action items carry over automatically into the next retro for follow-up
- + Covers the engagement basics: templates, voting, action items, GIFs, polls, kudos, icebreakers
SprintRetro — cons
- − Jira Cloud only — no Slack, Teams, GitHub, Linear, Confluence, or standalone web app
- − No AI features (no clustering, summaries, sentiment, or action extraction)
- − No timer, drag-and-drop grouping, async mode, presentation mode, or scheduling
- − No SSO, SCIM, SOC 2, audit logs, or cross-team reporting
- − Young product (launched Sept 2025) with a small install base (~640 installs) — fine for one team, less proven at scale
