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.

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
TeamRetro — pros
- + Health checks and maturity models as a first-class module — custom dimensions, radar charts, trends across sprints
- + Three modules on one subscription: retrospectives, health checks, planning-poker estimation
- + SAML SSO, RBAC and US-or-EU hosting on <em>every</em> plan, not just Enterprise
- + GA MCP server, team-level API keys and HMAC-signed webhooks on all plans; 15 native agile-stack integrations plus Zapier and n8n
- + <em>trAI</em> in-meeting assistant on trial and paid plans, plus 12 native in-meeting icebreaker games on every account
TeamRetro — cons
- − No free tier — 30-day trial, then a paid plan
- − The SOC 2 Type 2 report is Enterprise-only; lower tiers get the SOC 3 report instead
- − SCIM, IP allowlisting, domain capture and guest/observer roles are Enterprise-only, and audit logs are on request rather than self-serve
- − Cross-team insights, reports and programs (team-of-teams) require Enterprise
- − ISO 27001 is inherited from AWS, and hosting is US or EU only — no APAC region despite the Australian HQ
