Estimioo
4.6AI-powered planning poker, retrospectives and standups for agile teams
Estimioo is a lightweight, browser-based agile-ceremony tool that bundles AI-assisted planning poker, a 41-template sprint retrospective board and async daily standups into one shared workspace. The centre of gravity is still estimation, but the retro module is now a real one: one-click templates, a 2–25 minute session timer, per-card thumbs-up voting, synced icebreakers, ambient audio, and a Claude-powered summary that returns team mood, key themes and ranked action items. What it is not is a facilitation suite — retro cards are attributed rather than anonymous, and there is no grouping, no dot-vote budget and no action-item owners or carry-over between sprints.

QRetro
5.8Manage team health, not sticky notes
QRetro is a completely free retrospective tool with no seat or team caps, built by solo developer Roman Ermilov and shipping continuously since January 2023. It runs a fixed seven-stage session — optional health check, optional icebreaker game, cards, grouping, voting, discussion, results — and closes with an auto-generated summary, ROTI score and action items. An official MCP server exposes 29 read/write tools so Claude, Cursor or VS Code can query boards, health trends and actions directly.
Full review →Summary
Estimioo scores 4.6 overall and is best for small, distributed agile teams who want fast AI-assisted planning poker and async standups at near-zero cost, plus a genuinely usable 41-template retro board — and who don't need anonymity, grouping, or action-item follow-through across sprints. It offers a free tier.
QRetro scores 5.8 overall and is best for small agile teams and independent squads that want a genuinely well-equipped retro — 52 templates, health checks, ROTI, timer, icebreaker games and MCP access — at zero cost, and can accept a solo-maintainer vendor with no SSO, no export files and no certifications. It offers a free tier.
Estimioo leads on enterprise-grade. QRetro leads on ease of use, retro toolkit, fun factor, AI & insights, integrations and open platform.
Across our eight scoring dimensions, QRetro edges ahead with an overall score of 5.8. That said, the right pick depends on your team — see the dimension-by-dimension breakdown below.

Estimioo — pros
- + Genuinely cheap — flat <strong>$7/workspace/mo</strong> with unlimited participants, plus a usable free tier
- + 41 one-click retro templates, a 2–25 minute session timer and per-card upvoting — all verified in a live board
- + Unusually fun for the price: 340+ synced icebreakers, six ambient soundscapes and 16 live emoji reactions
- + One-click Claude retro summary returns team mood, key themes and ranked action items with <em>Add all to board</em>
- + Jira connects by OAuth or API token with JQL backlog import; guests join by link or QR with no signup
Estimioo — cons
- − Retro cards are <strong>attributed</strong> — author name and avatar on every note, with no anonymity option anywhere in the product
- − No grouping or clustering, no dot-vote budget, no action-item owners or due dates, and no carry-over between retros
- − Slack and Teams are clipboard-copy buttons rather than integrations; Jira write-back is still on the roadmap, and there's no API, webhooks or MCP
- − No SOC 2, ISO 27001, DPA or data-residency option, and the privacy policy was last updated April 2025 — the quote-only Enterprise tier's SSO claim is unverified
- − No independent coverage (no G2, Capterra or Product Hunt listing), and the site's own social proof contradicts itself — <em>450+ teams</em>, <em>183 agile teams</em> and <em>3000+ teams</em> all appear
QRetro — pros
- + Genuinely free with no seat caps, team caps or paywalled features — a 24-person org across three teams pays nothing, and there is no paid tier to be upsold to
- + Retro toolkit is deep for a free product: 52 templates, private-mode submission, timer, drag-and-drop grouping with auto-named groups, action items, team agreements, ROTI and a radar-charted health check stage
- + Unusually strong engagement layer for a product that charges nothing — four built-in games (Draw & Guess, Sprint in one GIF, Hangman, Decoded) usable as a switchable icebreaker stage, plus GIF cards, emoji reactions and live cursors. TeleRetro and the whiteboard tools still go further, mainly on music and ambient audio
- + Official MCP server at a single address (mcp.qretro.com) with 29 read, write and delete tools and OAuth sign-in, so Claude, Cursor or VS Code can pull board summaries, health trends and action items with nothing to paste
- + Guest access with no account or password, and guest contributions now persist permanently rather than expiring after a day
- + Visibly active despite being a solo project — 15+ dated changelog entries across 2026, including the v4 relaunch, MCP OAuth, poker over MCP and two new games in July–August 2026
QRetro — cons
- − Built and maintained by a single developer (Roman Ermilov) with no support team, SLA or published company entity — the enterprise-grade cap for founder-only vendors applies regardless of how good the product is
- − No enterprise controls at all: no SSO or SAML, no SCIM, no audit logs, no SOC 2 or ISO 27001; a DPA and sub-processor list are published but there is no explicit GDPR compliance claim
- − No file export — results share to Slack or Telegram as a recap message, but there is no documented PDF, CSV, Excel, Markdown or email export, so the retro record cannot be filed anywhere outside those two channels
- − Integration set is narrow: Jira, Linear, Slack and Telegram only — nothing for Teams, Confluence, GitHub, GitLab, Azure DevOps or any other tracker
- − No async or distributed-team support — the seven-stage flow assumes a live session, and there are no recurring or scheduled retros
- − Vote allowance is computed automatically (cards + 3, capped at 10) rather than set by the facilitator, and the stage order itself cannot be customised
- − AI is deliberately limited — summaries, recommended next steps and health trends, but no clustering, sentiment analysis or coaching; the vendor pitches this as avoiding 'intrusive chatbots'
- − No cross-team or org-level reporting, so health and action data stays inside a single team's boards
