Kollabe
6.8Agile meetings made easy — retros, standups and planning poker
Kollabe began life as a planning poker tool and now runs four rituals from one workspace: estimation, sprint retrospectives, async standups and icebreakers. The retro board is deeper than its marketing suggests — drag-to-group with optional AI clustering, dot voting configurable per board or per column, a phase timer with audio alerts, a guided workflow with auto-advance, and action items carrying owner, due date, priority and a link back to the feedback card. Exports run to PDF, CSV, JSON, Markdown, HTML, JPEG and Confluence, with action items pushed to Jira, GitHub or Linear. Billing is flat per team space rather than per seat. There are no recurring retros, no health-check instrument and no compliance certifications.

SprintRetro
5.9Jira-native retros with real sprint data
SprintRetro is an Atlassian Forge app from Agile Pulse that runs sprint retrospectives inside Jira Cloud. It pulls live sprint metrics (velocity and predictability, scope change, carryover, cycle time, second-by-second burndown) into the retro board itself. A major June 2026 release widened it into a continuous-improvement workspace: an infinite whiteboard with visual templates, anonymous team-health pulse checks with cross-sprint trends, an on-demand AI facilitator, and an action dashboard that quality-scores every action. Both Marketplace listings are Cloud Fortified. The free app still covers unlimited users, but a paid Pro app now carries custom templates, unlimited grouping and AI sprint summaries.
Full review →Summary
Kollabe scores 6.8 overall and is best for small to mid-size agile teams running poker, retros and standups who want one cheap, playful tool — and don't need health checks, recurring retros or a compliance story. It offers a free tier.
SprintRetro scores 5.9 overall and is best for scrum teams already living in Jira Cloud who want retros, a whiteboard and real sprint metrics on one board — and are happy for everything to stay inside Jira's walls. It offers a free tier.
Kollabe leads on ease of use, fun factor, integrations and open platform. SprintRetro leads on value and enterprise-grade.

Kollabe — pros
- + Flat per-space pricing — $29/mo buys unlimited members, so three teams of eight cost $87/mo total
- + Deeper retro board than the marketing implies: drag-to-group plus AI clustering, dot voting per board or per column, a phase timer with audio alerts, and a guided workflow that auto-advances when everyone marks ready
- + Action items carry owner, due date, priority, comments and a link back to the feedback card — and push one-click to Jira, GitHub or Linear
- + Official OAuth MCP server (vendor states 46 tools) and a documented REST API on every paid plan; exports to PDF, CSV, JSON, Markdown, HTML, JPEG and Confluence
- + Unusually playful: synchronised meeting music, AI-generated backgrounds, kudos with confetti, drawings and stickers, and a 1,100-strong themed template library
Kollabe — cons
- − No recurring or scheduled retros — every session is created by hand
- − No health-check instrument: a Spotify-style board template and a handful of 1–5 pulse polls, but no radar, custom model or trend chart. The vendor advertises a 1–10 Team Health Score inside its weekly Team Insights email; the report is generated server-side and we could not verify it
- − Both paid tiers cap a space at <strong>5 facilitators/admins</strong> however many members it has; lifting it means an Enterprise contract
- − Slack is standup-only (no retro summaries or actions to a channel); no Microsoft Teams
- − No SOC 2, ISO 27001 or published GDPR posture, and all data sits in Australia with no EU or US option; SSO and SLAs are Enterprise contact-sales
- − Effectively a one-person company, and the changelog has been silent since 31 May 2026
SprintRetro — pros
- + <strong>Real Jira sprint data inside the retro</strong> — velocity and predictability over five sprints, scope change, carryover tagged with how many sprints an issue has slipped, cycle time per status, and a burndown that records every individual point change
- + The action loop is the best part: actions link back to the idea that triggered them, carry forward with duplicate protection, get an AI SMART quality score with a one-tap rewrite, and can be pushed into Jira as issues
- + June 2026 added a genuine infinite whiteboard — stickies, shapes, frames, tables, connectors, live cursors, follow-a-teammate, Tenor GIFs, private mode, a synced board timer, PNG/print-PDF export, and <em>board import from Miro or Mural</em>
- + Anonymous Team Health pulses across seven dimensions, with cross-sprint trends overlaid against committed-vs-delivered and carryover — the health-vs-delivery view is rare at this price
- + <strong>Cloud Fortified</strong> and Bugcrowd bug-bounty on both listings, and the free app still covers unlimited users on a Jira site
SprintRetro — cons
- − Jira Cloud only — every participant needs a Jira licence, and there is no Slack, Teams, Confluence or standalone web app, nor any public API, webhooks or MCP server
- − <em>The free tier is narrowing.</em> Today: 3 basic templates, no custom template creation, limited polls and grouping, no AI sprint summary. Published as planned: ~3–5 sessions/month and under 8 participants per session
- − No SOC 2 or ISO 27001 of its own — the trust centre's own entries attribute both to AWS, Atlassian Cloud and Render, not to an Agile Pulse audit. No SCIM, audit logs or data residency, and the app is not "Runs on Atlassian" certified
- − No async mode, no recurring or scheduled retros, and no cross-team or org-level health rollup — the Pro usage report covers adoption, not outcomes
- − Export is whiteboard-only (PNG or print-to-PDF); column-mode retros still have no board export beyond pushing an action into Jira
