EasyRetro — pros
- + Extremely easy to use with minimal setup friction and a clean drag-and-drop board
- + Library of 100+ retrospective templates spanning multiple categories and languages
- + Free tier covers basic public boards for small teams or one-off retros
- + Clean export options including Confluence, Jira (now bulk), PDF, CSV, PNG, Excel and DOCX
- + Still actively maintained — drawing on cards, hide-column and on-the-fly timer controls shipped through 2026
EasyRetro — cons
- − No native health checks, mood tracking or longitudinal trend reporting
- − AI is limited to a single board-summary feature — no auto-grouping, AI action items, sentiment, or template generation
- − Integration set is narrow and mostly export-only — no GitHub, Linear or Azure DevOps; the Teams integration embeds boards as tabs rather than pushing action items
- − Vendor itself isn't SOC 2 / ISO 27001 certified (relies on GCP); SAML SSO is gated to enterprise accounts and there's no SCIM or audit logs
- − Free plan is now capped at 1 public board per month (down from 3), keeps only 1 board on the dashboard, and excludes team boards
Spreo — pros
- + Genuinely delightful, illustrated UI that energises in-person and remote retros
- + Broad template library (100+) covering retros, icebreakers, planning poker, futurespectives, planning and estimation
- + Solid two-way Jira integration: backlog refinement, estimation and issue creation in-board
- + Facilitator controls, private writing mode and shareable team spaces
- + First AI feature shipped Feb 2026 — Sort into Topics auto-groups stickies into labelled topics
- + EU-hosted (Amsterdam) and GDPR-aligned (SOC 2 / ISO 27001 sit at the Digital Ocean infrastructure layer, not Spreo)
Spreo — cons
- − No async retro mode, no recurring or scheduled retros
- − No team health check or longitudinal pulse product; mood/radar work via whiteboard templates only
- − Integrations limited to Jira — no Slack, Teams, Confluence, GitHub, Linear or Azure DevOps
- − AI limited to one clustering feature — no summaries, action-item extraction, sentiment or coaching
- − No ongoing free plan; expired trials become read-only
- − SSO gated to a paid/Enterprise plan; no SCIM or audit logs advertised
