Kollabe

Kollabe began life as a planning poker tool and has extended into retrospectives and standups — the estimation side remains the centre of gravity, with retros and standups added as adjacent rituals rather than the headline product. It bundles icebreakers, anonymous input, AI summaries and action-item sync-back to Jira, GitHub and Azure DevOps in a flat per-space workspace, and retro history exports in bulk to CSV or JSON. Recent additions include a Slack-based async standup flow, a public API and MCP server, and cross-ritual weekly reporting. Some retro mechanics the marketing asserts are not corroborated outside the vendor's own pages — verify the board before committing.

Kollabe pitches itself as "Agile Meetings, Made Easy" — one workspace for the four rituals most scrum teams actually run: planning poker, sprint retrospectives, daily standups and icebreakers. The wedge is friction and price.

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

Everything leans on speed (no signup, instant join links) and flat per-space billing aimed squarely at per-seat incumbents. The homepage claims 40,000+ teams and 339,000 active users, and parades logos from Air Canada, Adobe, IBM, Mastercard and Atlassian — usage claims, not disclosed contracts. Sydney-based solo developer Matt Lewandowski is the whole brand: "every feature, every pixel, every line of code is crafted by me." Read the feature copy closely, though — the template count is quoted as 25+, 50+ and 1000+ on three different pages of the same site.

Kollabe's real strength is getting a retro started with zero friction, and that one isn't vendor spin — 31 verified third-party reviews average 4.8/5 with ease of use at roughly 5.0, and reviewers keep naming the no-signup join links. The retro-to-ticket loop holds up independently too: one reviewer reports that retro outcomes "actually become tickets that get worked on" through Jira and GitHub. Bulk export to CSV or JSON and one-click Confluence pages make the data genuinely portable, and $29/month per space with unlimited members is cheap for three teams of eight.

The gaps are real, and so is the need to check things yourself. Independent dot voting, drag-to-group and AI grouping all appear in marketing copy but in no changelog entry, and we couldn't corroborate them anywhere else. Slack is standup-only — no retro summaries or actions to a channel — and there's no Microsoft Teams. No health checks, no recurring schedules, no cross-team rollups, so spotting trends across six sprints isn't its game. No SOC 2, ISO 27001 or GDPR statement, and it's a one-person company.

Best fit: a small team that wants poker, retros and standups in one cheap tool — and will run a trial retro before committing.
