Kollabe

Agile meetings made easy — retros, standups and planning poker

Overall score
5.6

Overview

Kollabe began life as a planning poker tool and has more recently extended into retrospectives — the estimation side remains the centre of gravity, with retros and standups added as adjacent rituals rather than the headline product. It now bundles 600+ icebreakers, anonymous voting, AI-generated summaries and sync-back to Jira, GitHub, Linear and Azure DevOps in a flat per-space workspace, though the retro experience is younger and less battle-tested than its estimation roots.

Best for: Small to mid-size agile teams that want retros, standups and planning poker in one clean tool — without per-seat pricing.

How Kollabe describes itself

Kollabe pitches itself as "Agile Meetings, Made Easy" — a purpose-built workspace for the three rituals most scrum teams actually run: sprint retrospectives, daily standups and planning poker, with 600+ icebreakers bundled in.

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

The vendor leans on speed and simplicity (no signup required, instant join links) and on flat per-space pricing that deliberately contrasts with per-seat incumbents. Logos on the homepage include Air Canada, Adobe, IBM, Mastercard and Atlassian, and the founder voice is plainly visible — Sydney-based solo developer Matt Lewandowski states "every feature, every pixel, every line of code is crafted by me." AI-powered standup summaries (daily/weekly/fortnightly) and retro summaries, plus direct sync-back to Jira, GitHub, Linear and Azure DevOps, are positioned as core value rather than upsell.

Our take

Kollabe is a tightly-scoped, well-executed agile-meetings tool with a clear founder voice. The retro module covers the essentials competently — 50+ templates, an AI template generator, anonymous input, a phase timer, async participation, action items, presentation mode, polling, sentiment tracking and AI summaries — and the bundled planning poker and standup modules genuinely save teams from running three subscriptions. Flat per-space pricing is refreshingly buyer-friendly: $29/month gets unlimited members on Premium, with a $12/month planning-poker-only tier as a reasonable on-ramp.

The lens-relevant gaps are real. There's no Slack, Microsoft Teams or Confluence integration, no advertised SOC 2, GDPR or ISO 27001 posture, and no dedicated health-check, team-radar or longitudinal pulse feature — cross-team rollups and trend analysis aren't its game. SSO/SAML and SLA both live behind Enterprise contact-sales, and the solo-founder model will give procurement teams pause. Best fit: a small or mid-sized agile team that wants a clean, focused tool for the rituals they actually run, and is happy to forgo deep enterprise reporting and compliance.
