FigJam
6.9Figma's whiteboard with AI-assisted clustering, voting and a free tier that includes meaningful AI credits
FigJam is the whiteboard product inside Figma — sticky notes, voting, timer, audio, music, expressive cursor stamps, an AI co-pilot that clusters and summarises sticky notes, and dozens of community retro templates. Sits inside the Figma platform so design and product teams already living there get retros without buying a second tool, with Figma's strong SSO/SCIM and SOC 2 enterprise posture on Org+/Enterprise plans.

FigJam — pros
- + Cheap $3/user/mo Collab seat unlocks unlimited boards without a full Figma editor seat
- + Free tier includes real AI credits (150/day, 500/month) and the full retro toolkit
- + Same login and platform as Figma — zero friction for design-led teams
- + Playful, engaging UX (audio, music, stamps, expressive cursors) lifts retro fun factor
- + Strong enterprise posture inherited from Figma: SAML, SCIM, SOC 2, ISO 27001
FigJam — cons
- − No native action-item tracking, recurring retros or health checks
- − Anonymous mode is weak — no built-in 'private until reveal' equivalent
- − No Microsoft Teams or Azure DevOps integration
- − Free Starter caps teams at 3 FigJam boards — a recurring retro practice outgrows it fast
- − Built primarily for designers; agile coaches sometimes find the canvas paradigm fiddly for structured retros
RetroTeam — pros
- + Strong AI grouping and action-item generation
- + Flat per-team pricing scales well for small squads
- + Tight, opinionated retro flow (capture, group, vote, act)
- + Direct Jira sync for action items
- + Active product — weekly blog cadence through late March 2026
- + Custom template builder for teams that outgrow the four presets
RetroTeam — cons
- − Integration set is Jira-only; Slack, Teams, GitHub, Linear, Azure DevOps not advertised
- − No health checks, kudos, or longitudinal team-pulse tracking
- − Light on enterprise controls (SSO, SCIM, SOC 2, audit logs not mentioned publicly)
- − AI is credit-gated — Premium ships 50 credits/mo, Pro 150; heavy use forces an upgrade
- − Only 4 built-in templates (custom builder fills the gap, but no template library)
