Kollabe
6.9Agile meetings made easy — retros, standups and planning poker
Kollabe began life as a planning poker tool and now runs estimation, sprint retrospectives and icebreakers from one workspace. The retro board is deeper than its marketing suggests — drag-to-group with optional AI clustering, dot voting configurable per board or per column, a phase timer with audio alerts, a guided workflow with auto-advance, and action items carrying owner, due date, priority and a link back to the feedback card. Exports run to PDF, CSV, JSON, Markdown, HTML, JPEG and Confluence, with action items pushed to Jira, GitHub or Linear. Billing is flat per team space rather than per seat. There are no recurring retros, no health-check instrument and no compliance certifications.

Retro Rabbit
4.4Slack-first retrospectives with async note capture
Retro Rabbit is a Slack-native retrospective tool: the team drops notes into a Slack channel or the web app all sprint long, then runs the retro on a live synced board with drag-to-group, dot voting, a shared timer and assignable action items that carry over to the next retro. The CarrotIQ AI layer is gated to the $40/team/month Pro AI plan. Four-person vendor, Slack is the only integration, and there is still no public changelog.

Kollabe — pros
- + Flat per-space pricing — $29/mo buys unlimited members, so three teams of eight cost $87/mo total
- + Deeper retro board than the marketing implies: drag-to-group plus AI clustering, dot voting per board or per column, a phase timer with audio alerts, and a guided workflow that auto-advances when everyone marks ready
- + Action items carry owner, due date, priority, comments and a link back to the feedback card — and push one-click to Jira, GitHub or Linear
- + Official OAuth MCP server (vendor states 46 tools) and a documented REST API on every paid plan; exports to PDF, CSV, JSON, Markdown, HTML, JPEG and Confluence
- + Unusually playful: synchronised meeting music, AI-generated backgrounds, kudos with confetti, drawings and stickers, and a 1,100-strong themed template library
Kollabe — cons
- − No recurring or scheduled retros — every session is created by hand — and no Slack or Microsoft Teams integration for retros
- − No survey-based health check: a Spotify-style board template, a handful of 1–5 pulse polls, and a Team Health score in the paid weekly Insights report that is computed from activity (engagement, action follow-through, blockers, kudos) rather than from asking the team
- − Both paid tiers cap a space at <strong>5 facilitators/admins</strong> however many members it has; lifting it means an Enterprise contract
- − No SOC 2, ISO 27001 or published GDPR posture; core data is hosted in Australia with no EU or US option, and AI features send content to OpenAI and Groq. SSO and SLAs are Enterprise contact-sales
- − A one-person company whose founder is also building a second product, and no product update has shipped since 31 May 2026
Retro Rabbit — pros
- + Genuine Slack-first capture — notes land in the channel throughout the sprint, so the board opens full instead of starting with silent writing
- + Board covers the basics properly: drag-to-group with editable group names, dot voting with a configurable 1–50 vote budget, a shared pause/resume timer, and a per-user anonymity toggle
- + Action items carry forward — a dedicated <em>Old / Unresolved Items</em> tab plus per-room and per-person trackers, with Slack reminders to assignees
- + A GIPHY picker on notes that the marketing site never mentions — the one bit of levity on an otherwise plain board
- + Flat $30/team/month with unlimited users (3 teams of 8 = $90/mo), and CSV/XLSX/PDF export on every tier including Starter
Retro Rabbit — cons
- − Slack is the only integration — no Jira, Teams, Confluence, GitHub, Linear or Azure DevOps, and no public API, webhooks or MCP
- − No health checks, team radars or sentiment tracking; the only longitudinal view is a notes-per-day bar chart per room
- − AI is two calls — a per-retro summary and one action-item suggestion. The site's <em>intelligent note grouping</em> claim has no counterpart in the shipped web app
- − Enterprise controls are thin: SSO/SAML is Enterprise-tier only, no SCIM, no audit logs and no SOC 2 of its own. The privacy policy carries no GDPR or CCPA commitments and says retro feedback is not shared with third parties, the Slack Marketplace listing answers <em>uses large language models: no</em> and <em>has a dedicated security team: no</em>, and neither says where CarrotIQ processes notes
- − No free tier and no public changelog, from a four-person vendor whose marketing site has not changed since early 2025
