Lucidspark
6.4Lucid Software's whiteboard with the Lucid AI assistant and tight Lucidchart integration — voting, timers and facilitator tools start at the Team tier
Lucidspark is the whiteboard product from Lucid Software (makers of Lucidchart) — an infinite canvas with sticky notes, private-mode brainstorming, anonymous voting sessions, timers, the Lucid AI assistant (prompt-to-board, clustering, summaries) and bidirectional sync with Lucidchart for diagrams. Voting, timers and facilitator tools start at the Team tier; Breakout Boards and the Jira/Azure DevOps card sync are Enterprise-only. Strong enterprise posture inherited from Lucid: SSO/SAML, SCIM, SOC 2 Type 2, ISO 27001/27701/42001, FedRAMP, IRAP, GDPR, and US/EU/AU data residency.

Reetro
6.0Fun, easy and AI-powered online retrospectives
Reetro is a lightweight retrospective tool with a genuinely free tier, a scheduler that auto-creates recurring boards, and AI-powered paid tiers covering meeting summaries, sentiment analysis, AI card grouping, customizable health checks and an action tracker. SSO, 2FA and audit logs start on the $10/team Pro plan rather than an enterprise tier. ISO 27001 is claimed at the vendor level; SOC 2 is described as compliance on SOC 2-certified infrastructure rather than a published Reetro-level Type 2 audit.
Full review →Summary
Lucidspark scores 6.4 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 6.0 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, SSO from the $10/team tier and Jira/Azure DevOps export — with a flat-rate org-wide tier if you outgrow per-team pricing. It offers a free tier.
Lucidspark leads on integrations, open platform and enterprise-grade. Reetro leads on ease of use, retro toolkit and value.
Across our eight scoring dimensions, Lucidspark 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
- + <em>Private mode</em> hides sticky note authors until the session ends, and a voting session can be set fully anonymous
- + Strong enterprise posture: SOC 2 Type 2, ISO 27001/27701/42001, FedRAMP, IRAP, GDPR, SSO/SAML, SCIM, US/EU/AU data residency
- + Official Lucid MCP server is GA and shipping monthly — search boards, summarise them, generate synced Jira cards from Claude or ChatGPT
- + Lucid AI is included on every tier today, free plan included
Lucidspark — cons
- − Voting, timers and facilitator tools start at the $10/user Team tier — the free plan's three boards can't run a facilitated retro
- − Breakout Boards and the Lucid Cards sync to Jira/Azure DevOps are Enterprise-only
- − No health checks, recurring retros, action carryover or cross-team rollup
- − AI is general brainstorming/clustering, not retro-aware — no sentiment, action-item extraction or trend insight across retros
- − Retro template depth trails Miro and Mural, and the REST API needs a Team or Enterprise account
Reetro — pros
- + Genuinely free tier, no credit card — 3 teams, 9 members and 50 guests covers a 24-person org
- + <strong>SSO (Google, OneLogin, Azure AD, Okta), 2FA and audit logs start on the $10/team Pro plan</strong>, not an enterprise tier
- + Scheduler auto-creates the next retro board weekly or every 2–4 weeks with layout and settings pre-applied
- + AI meeting summaries, sentiment analysis and automatic card grouping on paid, alongside customizable health checks, polls and a happiness index
- + Trust center is actively maintained — policy pack, sub-processor list and an AI governance portal all published or refreshed in 2026
Reetro — cons
- − Free plan capped at 3 teams, 9 members, 10 active boards and 4 columns, with both anonymity and multi-voting paid-only
- − Pro Unlimited's own marketing is self-contradictory — the FAQ and plan table call it flat org-wide $49/mo while the plan card badge says PER TEAM with a 180-member cap
- − Team, comparative and monthly reporting are ticked on the paid columns yet tagged <em>coming soon</em> in the same table — verify the reporting story before you buy
- − On-premises is sold as a Pro Unlimited feature but the tooltip on that plan card says 'coming soon'
- − No published Reetro-level SOC 2 Type 2 audit (their trust center lists SOC 2 as 'compliant', not certified) and no SCIM
- − No public API, webhooks or MCP server; no GitHub/Linear; help-doc footers still read 2020–2021 and there's no public changelog
