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 sync-back to Jira, GitHub, Linear and Azure DevOps in a flat per-space workspace. Recent additions include a Slack-based async standup flow, a public API and MCP server, and cross-ritual weekly reporting — though the retro module is still younger and less battle-tested than its estimation roots.

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

"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. The homepage claims 40,000+ teams and displays enterprise logos including Air Canada, Adobe, IBM, Mastercard and Atlassian — social proof, not necessarily paid contracts. 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 standup summaries, a Slack-based async standup flow, and direct sync-back to Jira, GitHub, Linear and Azure DevOps are positioned as core value rather than upsell.

Kollabe is a tightly-scoped, well-executed agile-meetings tool with a clear founder voice, and it ships steadily — recent months added a public API, an MCP server, @mention notifications, and a Slack-based async standup flow. The retro module covers the essentials competently — templates, anonymous input, a phase timer, async participation, action items, presentation mode, polling 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.

Judge it against what serious agile teams pay for and the gaps are real. That new Slack integration is standup-only — it won't push retro summaries or action items to a channel — and there's no Microsoft Teams. There's 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 one clean tool for the rituals they actually run, and is happy to forgo deep enterprise reporting and compliance.
