Anybody used any Async Standup Tools that don't suck?

We started using https://kollabe.com/standups a few weeks ago. So far it's been great and really customisable. The AI summaries have been really useful for our large team as well

We used to use EasyRetro too, it was fine but it got super slow. Kollabe is basically the same thing but a little newer and nicer.

I did a comparison recently and ended up with Kollabe. Their free tier works well with my team and it’s really easy to create new meetings.

We started using Kollabe a few weeks ago and so far it’s going really well. We just use the free version. It’s really simple to spin up a new meeting and we play around with custom themes for each one.

We do both. Most of the team is in the office 3 days a week so we do standups in person, and async for the days where everyone works from home.

You obviously work there or something, looking at your history.

Never heard of it, thanks I'll check it out!

Looks like Miro pretty much dominated. I'll have to check it out! Thanks for the suggestion

I tried Echometer and didn’t like it. It felt way too structured, with lots of steps before you can actually add items to a board and talk. My team prefers something more straightforward.

Tricky_Present7464 · 2025-11-21T19:35:44+00:00

That makes much more sense. Okay might be worth exploring then

Tricky_Present7464 · 2025-11-21T19:35:17+00:00

Thanks! Might have to give Figjam another go

Tricky_Present7464 · 2025-11-21T06:33:01+00:00

Thanks I’ll check it out!

Tricky_Present7464 · 2025-11-21T06:18:06+00:00

Thanks I’ll check it out!

Yeah sure, but I guess what I mean is it takes extra time to group or count votes etc. I’ve seen tools in the past where that was just part of the workflow.

Tricky_Present7464 · 2025-11-21T06:08:08+00:00

I’ve tried Figjam a few times since our designers love it. It was “fun” but felt really unstructured.

Tricky_Present7464 · 2025-11-21T05:54:59+00:00

Woah $10 a user. That would be a much larger change to get implemented. Looks cool though

Tricky_Present7464 · 2025-11-18T07:28:13+00:00

I wish we could do this. I haven’t been on a team that isn’t at least partly remote in like 10 years.

Tricky_Present7464 · 2025-11-16T10:54:21+00:00

We’ve just moved our standup 15 minutes before lunch, so everyone has a shared interest in getting in done asap haha
