Lucidspark
6.4Lucid Software's whiteboard with the Lucid AI assistant, 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, the Lucid AI conversational assistant (prompt-to-board, clustering, summaries), and bidirectional sync with Lucidchart for diagrams. Strong enterprise posture inherited from Lucid: SSO/SAML, SCIM, SOC 2 Type 2, ISO 27001/27701, FedRAMP, GDPR, and US/EU/AU data residency.

Reetro
6.4Fun, easy and AI-powered online retrospectives
Reetro is a lightweight retrospective tool with a generous free tier and AI-powered paid tiers covering meeting summaries, sentiment analysis, AI card grouping, monthly reports, customizable health checks and an action tracker. ISO 27001 is held 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 6.4 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 — with a flat-rate org-wide tier if you outgrow per-team pricing. It offers a free tier.
Lucidspark leads on fun factor, integrations and enterprise-grade. Reetro leads on ease of use, retro toolkit and value.
Lucidspark and Reetro are evenly matched overall. The right choice comes down to which dimensions matter most to your team.

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 27001/27701, FedRAMP, GDPR, SSO/SAML, SCIM, US/EU/AU data residency
- + 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 is general brainstorming/clustering, not retro-aware — no sentiment, action-item extraction or trend insight across retros
- − 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 — 3 teams, 9 members covers a 24-person org
- + Flat-rate Pro Unlimited at $49/mo covers the whole org — strong value if you outgrow per-team pricing
- + AI summaries, sentiment analysis, AI card grouping 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 and a public trust center; on-premises available on the Business tier
Reetro — cons
- − Free plan capped at 3 teams, 9 members, 10 boards/month and 4 columns, with anonymity now paid-only
- − Per-team Pro pricing rose to $39/team/mo ($32 annual); the cheapest path for scale is the flat Pro Unlimited
- − Voting is essentially thumbs up/down — no vote-on-ideas-in-groups
- − No published Reetro-level SOC 2 Type 2 audit (compliance rests on SOC 2-certified infrastructure)
- − No public changelog or release notes — hard to verify what's shipped recently from the outside
- − No planning poker, whiteboard, presentation mode, native mobile app, or GitHub/Linear integrations
