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.

ScatterSpoke
5.6AI copilot for team feedback
ScatterSpoke was rebuilt from scratch as v3 in August 2026: guided retro boards, static surveys and AI-run interview surveys, and Ask, which answers questions across closed retros and surveys with cited evidence. An official OAuth MCP server is included on every tier, including Free.

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
ScatterSpoke — pros
- + Official MCP server on every tier including Free — OAuth sign-in, 33 tools spanning surveys and retro boards; reading results is where the paid line sits
- + Only facilitators need seats — team members and email-verified guests join boards free, so 3 teams of 8 fit Business's $149/mo base
- + Private-until-reveal writing and blind voting are on by default, and Group with AI leaves hand-made groups alone
- + Ask cites the retro or survey behind its answers, and closed-retro summaries track which themes repeat across runs (paid plans)
- + AI-run interview surveys follow up on each answer — a real option for async health checks between retros
ScatterSpoke — cons
- − <strong>No action items</strong> — the v3 board has no action object, so decisions go into card comments
- − No integrations in v3: nothing pushes to Jira, GitHub or Azure DevOps or posts to Slack or Teams, whatever the homepage badges say
- − One CSV export from a closed retro; audit logs are Enterprise-only
- − Retro AI is paid and Ask is metered — a shared monthly pool of 250 queries on Pro, 2,000 on Business
- − The docs describe Signals and Automations pages that the shipped web app doesn't include as of October 2026
