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
TeamRetro — pros
- + Health checks with custom models, longitudinal tracking and cross-team reporting
- + Three modules in one suite (retros, health checks, planning poker)
- + Complete enterprise stack: SAML SSO, SCIM and audit logs, SOC 2 Type 2 held directly, US/EU data residency
- + AI grouping, template suggestions, action items and sentiment built in
- + Broad agile-tool integrations including Jira, Azure DevOps, GitHub, Linear, Confluence
TeamRetro — cons
- − No free tier — 30-day trial only, then a paid plan is required
- − SCIM provisioning and the public API are gated to the Enterprise tier
- − ISO 27001 is inherited via AWS, not held directly
- − Data residency limited to US and EU (no APAC region)
