FigJam

7.3

Figma'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.

Trune.io

4.1

Structured online retrospectives with team radar

Trune (formerly Fraankly) is an EU-built retrospective and team-feedback tool that runs a fixed four-phase session — silent writing, presenting, voting, actions — with 14 pre-built templates plus custom ones, anonymous cards, drag-to-group clustering, dot voting, action items with reminder emails, and team radars including the Spotify Squad Health Check. Hosted in Frankfurt with EU-only application data, available in five UI languages, and exports results to Excel, CSV or an emailed PDF.

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.

Trune.io scores 4.1 overall and is best for small EU-based agile teams that want a simple, <strong>GDPR-aligned</strong> retro tool with templates, grouping, voting, and team radars — and can live with a vendor whose app has not shipped an update since September 2025. It offers a free tier.

FigJam leads on ease of use, fun factor, AI & insights, integrations, open platform and enterprise-grade. Trune.io leads on retro toolkit.

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

Trune.io — pros

  • + EU/Frankfurt data residency and a GDPR-first posture — the FAQ states no application data is stored outside Europe
  • + Per-team (not per-seat) pricing: $19/mo covers unlimited members, and the free tier gives 5 sessions
  • + Native two-way Azure DevOps sync on the Enterprise plan — action items out as work items, Done status back in
  • + Team radars include the Spotify Squad Health Check plus fully custom radars
  • + Ships in five UI languages (English, German, Dutch, French, Italian) and exports to Excel, CSV or an emailed PDF

Trune.io — cons

  • − <strong>The product has stood still</strong>: the web app was last deployed in September 2025, the blog stopped in July 2024, there is no changelog, and the Android app is gone from Google Play
  • − No SCIM, SOC 2 or audit logs, and SSO only as a bespoke per-customer SAML setup — not enterprise-ready
  • − No AI: the code carries a truneGPT chat window, but nothing in the interface opens it
  • − Azure DevOps is the only native connector and is Enterprise-only (quote-based); everything else is a single one-way Zapier trigger
