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.

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
TeamRetro — pros
- + Health checks and maturity models as a first-class module — custom dimensions, radar charts, trends across sprints
- + Three modules on one subscription: retrospectives, health checks, planning-poker estimation
- + SAML SSO, RBAC and US-or-EU hosting on <em>every</em> plan, not just Enterprise
- + GA MCP server plus team-level API keys and HMAC-signed webhooks, included on all plans
- + 15 native integrations: Jira, Azure DevOps, GitHub, GitLab, Linear, Confluence, Slack, Teams and more
TeamRetro — cons
- − No free tier — 30-day trial, then a paid plan
- − Audit logs, SCIM, IP allowlisting and guest/observer roles are Enterprise-only
- − Cross-team insights, reports and programs (team-of-teams) require Enterprise
- − ISO 27001 is inherited from AWS, not held by TeamRetro
- − Hosting is US or EU only — no APAC region despite the Australian HQ
