Lucidspark

6.2

Lucid 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.

Reetro

6.4

Fun, easy and AI-powered online retrospectives

Reetro is a lightweight retrospective tool with a generous free tier and an AI-powered Pro tier covering meeting summaries, sentiment analysis, monthly reports, customizable health checks and an action tracker. ISO 27001 is held at the vendor level; SOC 2 references on the marketing site are at the infrastructure layer rather than a Reetro-level audit.

Summary

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.

Reetro scores 6.4 overall and is best for small to mid-sized agile teams who want a low-cost, easy retro board with AI summaries, customizable health checks and Jira/Azure DevOps export. It offers a free tier.

Lucidspark leads on fun factor, integrations and enterprise-grade. Reetro leads on ease of use, retro toolkit, value and AI & insights.

Across our seven scoring dimensions, Reetro edges ahead with an overall score of 6.4. That said, the right pick depends on your team — see the dimension-by-dimension breakdown below.

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

Reetro — pros

  • + Generous free tier with no credit card required
  • + Per-team Pro pricing ($29/team/mo) keeps costs predictable for small squads
  • + AI summaries, sentiment analysis and monthly reports included on paid
  • + Customizable team health checks, polls and a happiness index
  • + ISO 27001 certified at the vendor level, plus audit logs (SOC 2 is infra-only, not a Reetro audit)

Reetro — cons

  • Free plan capped at 3 teams, 9 members, 10 boards/month and 4 columns, with anonymity now paid-only
  • Voting is essentially upvote/downvote — no vote-on-ideas-in-groups
  • Reporting & analytics screens (team reporting, comparative reporting, monthly reporting, PDF export) still listed as <em>coming soon</em>
  • Several quality-of-life features flagged 'coming soon' — link cards, @mentions, scheduler, icebreakers, on-premises, in-app notifications
  • No public changelog or release notes — hard to verify what's shipped recently from the outside
  • No planning poker, whiteboard, presentation mode, mobile app, or GitHub/Linear integrations
