Estimioo
4.6AI-powered planning poker, retrospectives and standups for agile teams
Estimioo is a lightweight, browser-based agile-ceremony tool that bundles AI-assisted planning poker, a 41-template sprint retrospective board and async daily standups into one shared workspace. The centre of gravity is still estimation, but the retro module is now a real one: one-click templates, a 2–25 minute session timer, per-card thumbs-up voting, synced icebreakers, ambient audio, and a Claude-powered summary that returns team mood, key themes and ranked action items. What it is not is a facilitation suite — retro cards are attributed rather than anonymous, and there is no grouping, no dot-vote budget and no action-item owners or carry-over between sprints.

IdeaBoardz
2.9Free shared brainstorming boards
IdeaBoardz is a long-standing free brainstorming and retrospective board: pick 1-10 sections, name them yourself, share the URL, add ideas anonymously, upvote, and export to PDF or Excel. The app still works and is still in daily use, but development stopped years ago — the public source repository's last feature commits date to April 2020 and the Terms have not been revised since.

Estimioo — pros
- + Genuinely cheap — flat <strong>$7/workspace/mo</strong> with unlimited participants, plus a usable free tier
- + 41 one-click retro templates, a 2–25 minute session timer and per-card upvoting — all verified in a live board
- + Unusually fun for the price: 340+ synced icebreakers, six ambient soundscapes and 16 live emoji reactions
- + One-click Claude retro summary returns team mood, key themes and ranked action items with <em>Add all to board</em>
- + Jira connects by OAuth or API token with JQL backlog import; guests join by link or QR with no signup
Estimioo — cons
- − Retro cards are <strong>attributed</strong> — author name and avatar on every note, with no anonymity option anywhere in the product
- − No grouping or clustering, no dot-vote budget, no action-item owners or due dates, and no carry-over between retros
- − Slack and Teams are clipboard-copy buttons rather than integrations; Jira write-back is still on the roadmap, and there's no API, webhooks or MCP
- − No SOC 2, ISO 27001, DPA or data-residency option, and the privacy policy was last updated April 2025 — the quote-only Enterprise tier's SSO claim is unverified
- − No independent coverage (no G2, Capterra or Product Hunt listing), and the site's own social proof contradicts itself — <em>450+ teams</em>, <em>183 agile teams</em> and <em>3000+ teams</em> all appear
IdeaBoardz — pros
- + Genuinely free — no paywall, no paid tier, no trial clock
- + No signup required to participate — just share the URL
- + 1-10 free-text sections build Start/Stop/Continue, 4Ls or Six Thinking Hats by hand
- + Drag one sticky onto another to merge them; the votes are added together
- + PDF and Excel export on every board, plus a working phone view
IdeaBoardz — cons
- − No templates at all — the only format choice is how many sections you want
- − No timer, no phases, no action items, no grouping beyond merging two stickies into one
- − Unlimited anonymous upvotes with no per-person vote budget
- − Zero integrations, no SSO, no SOC 2 and no published privacy policy — the URL is the only access control
- − No product work since April 2020; support is a Gmail address and a Twitter handle
