Kollabe

6.9

Agile 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.

8.8

Retrospectives, health checks, estimations and standups in one suite

TeamRetro pairs structured retrospectives with longitudinal team health checks and planning-poker estimations, aimed at agile organisations running multiple teams under a coach or programme. An in-meeting AI assistant (trAI, still in beta) and a GA MCP server are included on every paid plan.

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

TeamRetro — pros

  • + Health checks and maturity models as a first-class module — custom dimensions, radar charts, trends across sprints
  • + Retrospectives, health checks and planning-poker estimation on one subscription
  • + SAML SSO, RBAC and US-or-EU hosting on <em>every</em> plan, not just Enterprise
  • + GA MCP server, team-level API keys and HMAC-signed webhooks on all plans; 15 native agile-stack integrations plus Zapier and n8n
  • + <em>trAI</em> in-meeting assistant (beta) on trial and paid plans, plus 18 in-meeting icebreaker games on every account

TeamRetro — cons

  • − No free tier — 30-day trial, then a paid plan
  • − The SOC 2 Type 2 report is Enterprise-only; lower tiers get the SOC 3 report instead
  • − SCIM, IP allowlisting, domain capture and guest/observer roles are Enterprise-only, and audit logs are on request rather than self-serve
  • − Cross-team insights, reports and programs (team-of-teams) require Enterprise
  • − ISO 27001 is inherited from AWS, and hosting is US or EU only — no APAC region despite the Australian HQ
