Kollabe
5.6Agile meetings made easy — retros, standups and planning poker
Kollabe began life as a planning poker tool and has extended into retrospectives and standups — the estimation side remains the centre of gravity, with retros and standups added as adjacent rituals rather than the headline product. It bundles icebreakers, anonymous input, AI summaries and action-item sync-back to Jira, GitHub and Azure DevOps in a flat per-space workspace, and retro history exports in bulk to CSV or JSON. Recent additions include a Slack-based async standup flow, a public API and MCP server, and cross-ritual weekly reporting. Some retro mechanics the marketing asserts are not corroborated outside the vendor's own pages — verify the board before committing.

SprintRetro
5.0Free sprint retros, embedded in Jira
SprintRetro is a free Atlassian Forge app from Agile Pulse that runs sprint retrospectives directly inside Jira Cloud. It pulls live sprint metrics (velocity, scope change, carryover, cycle time, committed vs delivered) into a collaborative retro board, and the free listing also carries an infinite whiteboard, anonymous team-health pulse checks, timers, and an AI facilitator, alongside templates, anonymous voting, cross-sprint action tracking that can create Jira issues, GIFs, kudos, polls, and icebreakers. Both Marketplace listings are Cloud Fortified. A separate paid Pro app sits alongside the free one.

Kollabe — pros
- + Flat per-space pricing — unlimited team members on Premium ($29/mo)
- + Bundles retros, standups, planning poker and icebreakers in one tool
- + No-signup join links lower friction for ad-hoc participants; ease of use rates ~5.0/5 across 31 verified third-party reviews
- + Retro action items become real Jira and GitHub tickets — confirmed in independent user reviews, not just vendor copy
- + Bulk export of retro history to CSV or JSON, plus one-click Confluence pages; public API and MCP server on Premium
Kollabe — cons
- − Slack integration is standup-only (no retro summaries or actions to a channel); no Microsoft Teams
- − Solo-founder operation with no SOC 2, ISO 27001 or published GDPR posture; SSO/SAML and SLA sit behind Enterprise contact-sales
- − No health checks, team radars or longitudinal pulse — no way to track team trends across sprints
- − Several vendor-listed retro mechanics (independent dot voting, drag-to-group, AI grouping) are absent from the changelog and could not be corroborated
- − Free tier caps meetings/month with 7-day history and no data export; carrying actions between retros is paid-only
SprintRetro — pros
- + Genuinely free for unlimited users on your Jira instance — the paid Pro app is optional, not the entry point
- + Pulls <strong>real sprint metrics</strong> (velocity, scope change, carryover, cycle time, committed vs delivered) into the retro itself
- + Strong action loop: unfinished actions carry into the next retro, get quality-scored, and can be pushed into Jira as issues
- + <strong>Cloud Fortified</strong> on the Atlassian Marketplace — bug bounty, reliability SLOs, and a one-business-day response commitment on critical tickets
- + Built on Forge: no separate login, and the vendor states no third-party API calls or external data sharing
SprintRetro — cons
- − Jira Cloud only — every participant needs a Jira licence, and there's no Slack, Teams, Confluence, GitHub, or standalone web app
- − <em>No board export at all</em> — no PDF, CSV, or image download; the only data that leaves is a Jira issue
- − No async mode, presentation mode, drag-and-drop grouping, or scheduled/recurring retros
- − No SOC 2 or ISO 27001 of its own — the trust centre shows framework logos with no status label and no attestation report behind them; no SCIM, audit logs, or cross-team reporting either
- − Free-versus-Pro split is undocumented: both Marketplace listings advertise the same feature set, and Pro is never mentioned on sprintretro.co
