5.8

Improve your team with fun sprint retrospectives

EasyRetro (rebranded from FunRetro in November 2020) is a long-running indie retro tool built around a fast drag-and-drop board and a 200-plus template library. 2026 added working AI — card grouping, board-column generation from a theme prompt and meeting summaries — plus numeric-scale and multiple-choice surveys, dashboard bulk actions, free PNG/CSV export and organisation audit logs.

ScatterSpoke

5.7

AI copilot for team feedback

ScatterSpoke was rebuilt from scratch as v3 in August 2026: retro boards, static and agent-run surveys, a Signals engine that detects morale, burnout and psychological-safety patterns in feedback text, and an Ask layer that answers questions with cited evidence. An official OAuth MCP server is included on every tier, including Free.

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

ScatterSpoke — pros

  • + Official MCP server on every tier including Free — OAuth, no API keys to mint; reading results is where the paid line sits
  • + Signals engine with fifteen built-in rules and a detect-then-critique pass before anything is recorded
  • + Ask names the survey or retro behind every answer, and cross-retro theme trends ship on paid plans
  • + Unusually precise public docs — a per-tier entitlement table that names exactly what each plan gates
  • + Guest join by verified email or open link, and guests never consume a seat

ScatterSpoke — cons

  • $814/mo for 3 teams of 8 on Business (5 seats included, then $35/seat); Free is a single seat
  • <strong>Action items are no longer part of the v3 retro flow</strong> — the Review phase records outcomes as card comments
  • Manual grouping was removed; clustering is AI-only and board columns are fixed at creation
  • The v3 integration entitlement covers only Slack, Teams and email — no Jira, GitHub or Azure DevOps setup is documented
  • One CSV export from a closed retro; audit logs, data retention and org-wide AI are Enterprise-only
