EasyRetro
5.3Improve your team with fun sprint retrospectives
EasyRetro (rebranded from FunRetro in November 2020) is a long-running indie retro tool with 100+ templates, drag-and-drop boards, an AI board summary feature added in early 2024, drawing-on-cards (August 2025), and 2026 updates including hide-column controls and on-the-fly timer controls (pause/resume, +1 minute).

Simyl Flow
5.4Measure what ships and sticks
Simyl Flow is an outcomes measurement platform for engineering teams in which the retrospective is one of five linked ceremonies (planning poker, standups, demo prep, retros, coaching). Retro boards are pre-populated with six sprint metrics pulled from Jira, Linear, GitHub and CI, AI generates candidate cards from the data, and unfinished action items carry forward — all feeding a six-dimension team health score tracked sprint over sprint.
Full review →Summary
EasyRetro scores 5.3 overall and is best for small to mid-size agile teams, scrum masters and consultants who want a clean, fast, low-friction retro tool without enterprise overhead. It offers a free tier.
Simyl Flow scores 5.4 overall and is best for engineering orgs that already run retros and want them wired into delivery data — teams asking whether last sprint's improvement actually moved cycle time, review latency or change-failure rate, rather than teams shopping for a better sticky-note board. It offers a free tier.
EasyRetro leads on ease of use, retro toolkit and fun factor. Simyl Flow leads on AI & insights, integrations and open platform.
Across our eight scoring dimensions, Simyl Flow edges ahead with an overall score of 5.4. That said, the right pick depends on your team — see the dimension-by-dimension breakdown below.

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
- + Clean export options including Confluence, Jira (now bulk), PDF, CSV, PNG, Excel and DOCX
- + Flat per-team pricing with unlimited members — $60/mo covers three teams of any size
- + Still actively maintained — hide-column and on-the-fly timer controls shipped in 2026, and the web app was rebuilt from AngularJS onto Vue mid-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); data sits in US Central with no EU residency option, SAML SSO starts at the $90/mo tier, and there's no SCIM
- − Free plan allows 2 public boards per month, keeps only 2 boards on the dashboard (archived ones included), and excludes teams and team boards entirely
Simyl Flow — pros
- + Retro boards arrive pre-populated with six sprint metrics (velocity, cycle time, PRs merged, commits, bug rate, unplanned work) pulled from the tools the team already uses — the discussion starts from evidence rather than recall
- + Unusually broad delivery-data integration set for a tool that runs retros: Jira, Linear, Shortcut, ClickUp, Notion, GitHub/GitLab Issues, plus GitHub, GitLab and Bitbucket repos and their CI pipelines for DORA metrics
- + Official MCP server with 17 read-only tools, generally available and not tier-gated, so Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or Windsurf can query sprint metrics, health scores and blocker summaries directly
- + Action items carry forward across sprints with completion-rate tracking, and the six-dimension health score answers whether last sprint's change actually landed
- + Flat per-team pricing ($29–49/team/mo) rather than per-seat, so a 24-person org on three teams pays $87/mo regardless of headcount inside each team
- + Deliberate privacy architecture — scores are team-level not individual, coaching notes are visible only to the developer and their manager, source code is never stored, and AI runs on Amazon Bedrock with no data retention
Simyl Flow — cons
- − Retro toolkit is thin on facilitator staples: no documented timer or timeboxed phases, no anonymous submission, no drag-and-drop grouping, no presentation mode, no recurring or scheduled retros, and only 5 built-in templates against 50+ at retro-native tools
- − Almost no engagement layer — no icebreakers, GIFs, reactions, music or kudos wall; the product is deliberately metrics-serious, which makes it a poor fit for teams whose retro problem is participation rather than measurement
- − The health score is computed from delivery signals, not from the team — there is no survey-based health check, mood tracking, sentiment analysis or ROTI, so how the team <em>feels</em> is never captured
- − Enterprise claims are self-attested: 'SOC 2 aligned, not certified' and 'ISO 27001 aligned, not certified', inheriting AWS's certifications rather than holding its own; SSO/SAML sits behind a quote-only tier, and there is no SCIM or audit log
- − Export is CSV only, and there is no public REST API or webhooks — the MCP server is read-only, so nothing can push data back in programmatically
- − Young vendor (Simyl AI, Inc., founded 2024) that self-describes as 'a small team of engineers', with no published HQ, named founders, third-party reviews or G2/Capterra presence — a real durability question for procurement
- − Free tier is genuinely small (1 team, 10 stakeholders, 2 retros/month, 1 integration, 90-day retention), and Azure DevOps is still 'coming soon' rather than shipped
