Kollabe

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 pitches itself as "Agile Meetings, Made Easy" — one workspace for the four rituals most scrum teams actually run: planning poker, sprint retrospectives, async standups and icebreakers. The wedge is friction and price, not depth.

"One flat rate for your whole team. No per-user fees, no surprises."

Billing is per team space, not per seat: $29/month for unlimited members, or $12/month for a poker-only tier that excludes retros entirely. Everything else leans on speed — no signup, instant join links — and on scale claims, which the site cannot keep straight: the homepage says "Over 40,000 teams" while its own retrospectives meta description says "179K+ agile teams". Sydney-based founder Matt Lewandowski is still the whole brand: "every feature, every pixel, every line of code is crafted by me."

Kollabe's own marketing has been unreliable for years, so we read the shipped app instead — and this time it cut in the vendor's favour. Drag-to-group with AI clustering, dot voting configurable per board or per column, a real phase timer with audio alerts, AI action-item and discussion suggestions, and action items that link back to the feedback card are all in the product and were all previously recorded as absent here. Add synchronised meeting music, AI-generated backgrounds and a 1,100-template library, and $29/month per space with unlimited members buys a lot of retro.

The gaps are structural. No recurring or scheduled retros. No health-check instrument beyond a Spotify-style board template and six 1–5 pulse polls. The vendor sells a weekly Team Insights email with a 1–10 team health score and recurring-theme tracking; it ships a report viewer for it, but the report is built server-side and none of the score, its inputs or its sub-scores can be checked from outside — treat it as a vendor claim, not a verified capability. Slack is standup-only, there is no Teams integration, everything is hosted in Australia, and there is no SOC 2, ISO 27001 or GDPR statement behind it. Nothing has shipped since 31 May 2026.

Best fit: a small team that runs poker, retros and standups and wants all three cheap. Not a regulated org, and not one that lives on longitudinal health data.
