Agile meetings made easy — retros, standups and planning poker

Kollabe is a focused agile-meetings platform bundling sprint retrospectives, daily standups, planning poker and 600+ icebreakers in a single lightweight workspace. Anonymous voting, async contributions, AI-generated summaries and sync-back to Jira, GitHub, Linear and Azure DevOps come standard, on a flat <strong>per-space</strong> rather than per-seat price.

RetroTool

4.4

Anonymous online retrospectives, no login required

RetroTool is a low-friction online retrospective board built by NY/Poland software agency u2i as a side project. Free anonymous retros run from a unique URL with no signup; paid tiers add private boards, team management and longer retention.
