| # | Tool | Overall | Best for | Cost (3 teams of 8) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 01 | TeamRetro | 8.8 | Agile coaches and engineering managers running ongoing health-check programmes alongside sprint retros. | $50/mo billed annually ($60/mo billed monthly) — Standard plan, 3 teams, unlimited members |
| 02 | Parabol | 7.4 | Distributed agile teams that want one open-source tool for retros, poker and team health checks. | $192/mo |
| 03 | Kollabe | 6.9 | Small to mid-size agile teams running retros and planning poker who want one cheap, playful tool — and don't need health checks, recurring retros or a compliance story. | $87/mo (3 Premium spaces × $29; each space allows unlimited members) |
| 04 | QRetro | 6.3 | Small agile teams and independent squads that want a genuinely well-equipped retro — 52 templates, health checks, ROTI, timer, in-board surveys, icebreaker games and MCP access — at zero cost, and can accept a solo-maintainer vendor with no SSO, no PDF or spreadsheet export and no certifications. | Free (no paid tier) |
| 05 | EasyRetro | 6.2 | Small to mid-size agile teams, scrum masters and consultants who want a clean, fast, low-friction retro tool without enterprise overhead. | $60/mo (Business plan, 3 teams, unlimited members; $50/mo billed annually) |
| 06 | LetRetro | 6.0 | Developer-leaning agile teams and startups that want AI-assisted retros wired into Jira, GitHub and GitLab, an official MCP server their AI clients can drive, and flat pricing that doesn't grow with headcount — and that don't need anonymous input, card grouping, recurring retros or a procurement-grade security story. | $15/mo (Pro — flat plan covers unlimited teams within its 200 pooled-seat cap; 24 users fits) |
| 07 | Reetro | 6.0 | Small to mid-sized agile teams who want a cheap, AI-assisted retro board — SSO, health checks, the Scheduler and anonymous retros at $10/team/mo, or $49/mo flat for the whole org — and who don't need an API or ClickUp/GitHub/Linear. | Free (within free tier); $30/mo if all three teams need Pro |
| 08 | Spreo | 5.9 | Agile teams who want retros, planning and workshops to feel visual and fun on a Jira or Linear backlog, with a few paid facilitators and everyone else on cheap Collaborator seats or free visitor links — and who would get real value from driving boards with an AI assistant over MCP. | $102/mo billed annually (Team plan — 3 Editors x $13 + 21 Collaborators x $3); $132/mo billed monthly |
| 09 | SprintRetro | 5.8 | Scrum teams already living in Jira Cloud who want retros, a whiteboard and real sprint metrics on one board — and are happy for everything to stay inside Jira's walls. | $17.50/mo (Pro, $210/yr at the 25-user Jira tier; $20.16/mo billed monthly) — the free app also still covers 24 users |
| 10 | TeleRetro | 5.8 | Remote and hybrid agile teams who prioritise engagement and fun alongside a solid retrospective facilitation workflow. | £72/mo (~$96/mo) on the Business plan — 3 teams, unlimited members; £58/mo billed annually |
