GoRetro — pros
- + Flat per-team pricing ($29/team/mo annual) with unlimited members per team, plus a genuinely free plan for one team
- + Polished, real-time facilitation UX with per-board anonymity toggles (hide author, hide cards, hide votes) and drag-to-merge grouping
- + Bundles planning poker, capacity calculator and a Jira sprint monitor with retros
- + Real engagement extras — Giphy picker on cards, an optional kudos column, icebreakers, polls and a happiness index
- + Tight Jira Cloud integration; action items push through to Slack
GoRetro — cons
- − <strong>Effectively in maintenance mode</strong> — the production app was last built 9 Feb 2025, the changelog stopped 23 May 2023 and the blog 28 Jul 2023, and two features are still badged "coming soon" from that era
- − <em>No AI anywhere in the shipped app</em> — no clustering, summarisation or sentiment analysis; the .ai is a domain, not a capability
- − Integration breadth is narrow — Jira and Slack only, with no native MS Teams, Azure DevOps, GitHub, Linear, Confluence or Trello
- − No public API or webhooks; exports capped at PDF/CSV/PNG; US-only hosting with no EU residency option
- − The security page contradicts its own hero: SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 are billed as certified up top and "pending audit" in the detail row
Retrium — pros
- + Battle-tested five-phase guided facilitation flow — think, group, vote, discuss, wrap-up
- + Anonymous brainstorming and grouping by design, with a documented Fishbone root-cause format
- + Persistent team-room action plan that carries forward between retros
- + Team Radar health check — ten prebuilt radars plus a custom-spoke template, anonymous 1–5 scoring
- + Per-team-room pricing at <strong>$39/mo</strong> with unlimited users on every plan
Retrium — cons
- − No free plan — 30-day trial only, and the Fishbone technique and SSO are excluded from it
- − Integrations stop at Jira Cloud and a <em>still-beta</em> Slack app — no Microsoft Teams, Azure DevOps, GitHub, Linear or Confluence
- − AI exists only in <strong>Retrium Next</strong>, a separate free open beta with no data migration, no uptime commitment and no pricing yet — the product you actually pay for has none
- − The only API is an Enterprise-gated SCIM 2.0 user-provisioning endpoint; no webhooks, and export stops at CSV, TXT and send-to-Jira
- − The shipping product has published no release notes since <strong>August 2024</strong>, and the Continuous Improvement Journey beta closed in December 2023
