FigJam
7.3Figma's whiteboard with AI sticky clustering, an official MCP server that reaches FigJam boards, and a $3 Collab seat — free tier caps at 3 boards
FigJam is the whiteboard product inside Figma — sticky notes, timer, music, stamps and emotes, voting sessions, one-click AI that sorts and summarises stickies, and 300+ ready-made templates including community retro boards. Design and product teams already living in Figma get retros without buying a second tool, backed by Figma's SAML/SCIM, SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001 and Enterprise data residency in the EU, Australia, India, Brazil and Japan. Figma's official MCP server reads FigJam boards on every plan; letting an agent write to them is a beta that needs a Full seat. Voting sessions, open guest sessions, audio chat and webhooks all require a paid team; publishing custom templates requires Organization.

Reetro
6.1Fun, easy and AI-powered online retrospectives
Reetro is a lightweight retrospective tool with a genuinely free tier and a shipped app that runs well ahead of its own marketing site. Three board types — standard, phased (Reflect/Group/Vote/Discuss) and RoundUp, an async video, voice or text interview with AI-generated questions — sit alongside health checks, polls, a happiness calendar and an action tracker. AI meeting summaries, sentiment and emotion trends, auto-grouping and AI action items are quota-limited rather than paid-only, so Free gets a taste. SSO, the Scheduler and anonymous retros start on the $10/team Pro plan; data retention needs Pro Unlimited, billed at $49/month per organisation. ISO 27001 is claimed at vendor level; SOC 2 is listed as compliant, not certified.
Full review →Summary
FigJam scores 7.3 overall and is best for design and product teams already on Figma who want retros on the same platform as their design files, with playful engagement, AI sticky clustering and an agent-accessible canvas. It offers a free tier.
Reetro scores 6.1 overall and is best for small to mid-sized agile teams who want a cheap, AI-assisted retro board — SSO, health checks, the Scheduler and anonymous retros at $10/team/mo, or $49/mo flat for the whole org — and who don't need an API or ClickUp/GitHub/Linear. It offers a free tier.
FigJam leads on fun factor, integrations, open platform and enterprise-grade. Reetro leads on ease of use, retro toolkit, value and AI & insights.
Across our eight scoring dimensions, FigJam edges ahead with an overall score of 7.3. That said, the right pick depends on your team — see the dimension-by-dimension breakdown below.

FigJam — pros
- + Cheap $3/user/mo Collab seat (billed annually; $5 monthly) unlocks unlimited boards and full FigJam editing without a Full Figma seat
- + Free Starter tier includes real AI credits (150/day, 500/month), 300+ templates, the timer, music and AI Sort/Summarize
- + Playful, engaging UX — stamps, emotes, high-fives, music, cursor chat — lifts retro fun factor
- + Best open platform of any whiteboard here: REST API on every plan, webhooks on paid, and an <strong>official MCP server that reads FigJam boards</strong> on every plan
- + Strong enterprise posture inherited from Figma: SAML, SCIM, activity logs, SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, and Enterprise data residency in the EU, Australia, India, Brazil and Japan
FigJam — cons
- − No native action-item tracking, recurring retros or health checks
- − Anonymity is weak — votes reveal who voted once the session ends, and live cursors show who is writing even when a sticky's name tag is switched off
- − Action items leave the board only by hand: the Jira, GitHub and Asana widgets turn selected stickies into tickets, but Confluence, Linear and Notion are embeds only and there is no Azure DevOps
- − Free Starter caps a team at 3 FigJam files and excludes voting, audio chat, no-account guest links and webhooks; publishing custom templates needs Organization
- − Built primarily for designers — the canvas paradigm is fiddly for structured retros, and large boards get sluggish
Reetro — pros
- + Genuinely free tier, no credit card — 3 teams, 9 members, 6 columns and 50 guests, plus quota-limited AI (1 meeting summary, 3 auto-groupings, 3 AI action items a month)
- + <strong>SSO, the Scheduler and anonymous retros all start on the $10/team Pro plan</strong>, confirmed by the app's own upgrade copy
- + Pro Unlimited is genuinely org-wide — the app bills it at <em>$49/month per organisation</em>, not per team
- + RoundUp collects async video, voice or text feedback with AI-generated, editable interview questions — a real async mode, not just a board left open
- + AI meeting summaries carry sentiment, emotion trends (joy/trust/fear/sadness) and participation metrics, and roll up into cross-team comparison views
Reetro — cons
- − The marketing site understates the product: PDF and XLSX export, @mentions, link cards and comparative reporting are all live in the app yet tagged <em>coming soon</em> on the pricing page
- − No public API, no webhooks and no MCP server — nothing can drive Reetro programmatically
- − Slack and Teams notifications are sold, but the shipped app has no way to connect either; Confluence and Trello are export-only, a Word or CSV file plus a link to the other vendor's import instructions
- − No playable icebreakers: the in-app 'Icebreakers & Games' tiles link to four game subdomains, none of which resolves any more
- − No published Reetro-level SOC 2 Type 2 audit (the trust portal lists SOC 2 as 'compliant', ISO 27001 as 'certified'), and no SCIM
- − Anonymity is paid-only, and the Pro Unlimited plan card still reads PER TEAM while the FAQ and the app both say per organisation
