Kollabe review
A Slack-connected standup tool with rich updates, persistent rooms, and a free plan.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Kollabe brings asynchronous standups together with planning poker and retrospectives in a web-based collaboration tool for agile teams. Its persistent daily rooms give team members a place to answer customizable questions and respond to colleagues with comments and emoji reactions. Updates support rich text, links, lists, images, and video, so it suits small teams that want more context than a plain-text check-in. Slack can deliver questions by direct message and share summaries in a channel, while timezone-aware email reminders help teams coordinate across working hours.
Standups are available on the Free plan, which also includes basic planning poker and retrospectives. The pricing comparison lists standup limits of up to 10 participants per room, 30 days of history, and limited AI summaries. The $12-per-space monthly Planning Poker Only plan adds unlimited planning poker, exports, and connections to Jira, GitHub, Azure DevOps, and Linear; it is not the standup-focused paid tier. Premium costs $29 per space monthly and adds full AI summaries, unlimited planning poker and retrospectives, plus MCP server and public API access. Annual prices shown are $120 and $290 per space for those paid plans, respectively. A 28-day free trial is available without a card requirement.
The clearest fit is a small or mid-market team that values richer async updates, reminders, and summaries over a lightweight chat-only check-in. Slack is the named chat integration, and standup-specific Slack prompts and channel summaries are documented for Premium and Enterprise, so teams considering paid Slack workflows should account for that tier distinction. Exports and API access provide other ways to work with standup data, with the public REST API and MCP server listed on Premium. Teams needing broad chat-platform choice, or wanting standup-specific Slack features at the $12 tier, may prefer a more focused alternative.
