EasyRetro — pros
- + Fastest setup of any tool we run: pick a template, share a link, participants join with no account
- + AI now does real work on the board — card grouping with reviewable merge suggestions, a meeting summary, and board columns generated from a theme prompt
- + Survey engine got serious in June 2026: single-choice, multiple-choice and numeric-scale polls with Team Health Check, Team Safety, mood and meeting-value templates
- + Flat per-team pricing with unlimited members — $60/mo covers three teams of any size — and PNG/CSV export went free in July 2026
- + Plainly still shipping: five changelog entries in 2026, most recently organisation audit logs in July
EasyRetro — cons
- − The health surveys are one question on one board — no health model, no cadence, no trend line across sprints
- − Integrations are export-shaped: Jira, Confluence and Trello take cards out, Slack only announces new boards, and there's no GitHub, Linear, Azure DevOps or calendar
- − No public API, no webhooks and no MCP server — automation stops at the export button
- − Vendor holds no SOC 2 or ISO 27001 (it leans on Google Cloud's), data sits in US Central with no EU option, SAML SSO starts at $90/mo, audit logs at $150/mo, and SCIM doesn't exist
- − Free plan is now 1 public board per month and 1 board total on the dashboard (archived included), with AI features excluded
Echometer — pros
- + 200+ research-grounded health-check items, custom models and auto-scheduled pulse surveys
- + Longitudinal team radars, heatmaps and a cross-team workspace dashboard tied to retros
- + German-only hosting (Open Telekom Cloud, Magdeburg/Biere) with a GDPR data processing agreement
- + Open actions resurface automatically in the next retro, with owner email reminders and one-click push to Jira
- + Per-team, not per-seat, pricing — €87/mo covers three teams of eight, billed annually
Echometer — cons
- − Integrations stop at Jira — no Slack, Teams, Confluence or Linear
- − No public API or webhooks; export is PDF, Markdown and an emailed recap
- − No SOC 2 — the ISO 27001 certificate covers the datacenter, not Echometer itself
- − Retro-side AI is one function: suggested measures. No clustering, no AI session summary
- − No scheduled or recurring retros — you copy a past format and start each session manually
