Lucidspark
6.4Lucid Software's whiteboard with the Lucid AI assistant, breakout boards and tight Lucidchart integration
Lucidspark is the whiteboard product from Lucid Software (makers of Lucidchart) — an infinite canvas with sticky notes, voting, timer, breakout boards, the Lucid AI conversational assistant (prompt-to-board, clustering, summaries), and bidirectional sync with Lucidchart for diagrams. Strong enterprise posture inherited from Lucid: SSO/SAML, SCIM, SOC 2 Type 2, ISO 27001/27701, FedRAMP, GDPR, and US/EU/AU data residency.

Full review →Summary
Lucidspark scores 6.4 overall and is best for engineering and PM teams already on Lucidchart who want sticky-note retros and brainstorming on the same platform — and whose security review favours a SOC 2 / ISO 27001 vendor. It offers a free tier.
Trune.io scores 3.9 overall and is best for small EU-based agile teams that want a simple, <strong>GDPR-aligned</strong> retro tool with templates, voting, and a lightweight team radar — and don't need SSO, AI, or cross-team rollups. It offers a free tier.
Lucidspark leads on ease of use, fun factor, AI & insights, integrations and enterprise-grade. Trune.io leads on retro toolkit and value.
Across our seven scoring dimensions, Lucidspark edges ahead with an overall score of 6.4. That said, the right pick depends on your team — see the dimension-by-dimension breakdown below.

Lucidspark — pros
- + Tight integration with Lucidchart — switch between diagram and whiteboard on the same canvas
- + Breakout Boards let you split a workshop or retro into parallel rooms
- + Strong enterprise posture: SOC 2 Type 2, ISO 27001/27701, FedRAMP, GDPR, SSO/SAML, SCIM, US/EU/AU data residency
- + Generous integration set: Jira, Slack, Teams, Confluence, Azure DevOps, Asana
- + Free tier exists and is enough to evaluate the tool
Lucidspark — cons
- − No native anonymous voting — names always visible on stickies
- − No health checks, recurring retros, action carryover or cross-team rollup
- − AI is general brainstorming/clustering, not retro-aware — no sentiment, action-item extraction or trend insight across retros
- − Free tier is restrictive: 3 boards and 100 shapes/board limits real use beyond evaluation
- − Brand is best known for diagramming; retro template depth trails Miro and Mural
Trune.io — pros
- + EU/Frankfurt data residency and GDPR-first posture
- + Free tier covers 5 full-featured sessions, no card required
- + Per-team (not per-seat) pricing keeps costs predictable
- + Agility Health Radar gives a basic longitudinal view
- + Native iOS/Android apps for hybrid retros
Trune.io — cons
- − No SSO, SCIM, SOC 2, or audit logs — not enterprise-ready
- − No AI features (clustering, summaries, action extraction, sentiment)
- − Integrations (Jira, Azure DevOps, Slack, Teams, Trello) run through Zapier, not native; integrations also require the higher Professional tier
- − Light on facilitation extras: no parking lot, agenda planner, async mode, or drag-and-drop grouping
- − Reporting is limited to per-team stats; no cross-team or org rollups
