SprintRetro
5.0Free sprint retros, embedded in Jira
SprintRetro is a free Atlassian Forge app from Agile Pulse that runs sprint retrospectives directly inside Jira Cloud. It pulls live sprint metrics (velocity, scope change, carryover, cycle time, committed vs delivered) into a collaborative retro board, and the free listing also carries an infinite whiteboard, anonymous team-health pulse checks, timers, and an AI facilitator, alongside templates, anonymous voting, cross-sprint action tracking that can create Jira issues, GIFs, kudos, polls, and icebreakers. Both Marketplace listings are Cloud Fortified. A separate paid Pro app sits alongside the free one.

GoRetro — pros
- + Flat per-team pricing ($29/team/mo) with unlimited members per team, plus a free plan for one team
- + Polished, real-time facilitation UX with per-board anonymity toggles (hide author, hide cards, hide votes)
- + Bundles planning poker, capacity calculator and sprint monitor with retros
- + Tight Jira Cloud integration for sprint-data-driven discussions
- + SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001 and SAML SSO available on Organization tier
GoRetro — cons
- − <strong>No published product updates since 2023</strong> — changelog last moved 23 May 2023, blog 28 Jul 2023
- − Free plan is thin: exports, retro analytics, Jira sync, happiness index, polls and icebreakers are all Premium-gated
- − Integration breadth is narrow — Jira and Slack only, with no native MS Teams, Azure DevOps, GitHub, Linear, Confluence or Trello
- − AI story is thin: 'Joker cards' and a meeting recap export rather than real AI clustering, summaries or sentiment
- − No public API or webhooks; async is a multi-day feedback deadline, not a structured async flow, and there is no scheduling or recurring retros
SprintRetro — pros
- + Genuinely free for unlimited users on your Jira instance — the paid Pro app is optional, not the entry point
- + Pulls <strong>real sprint metrics</strong> (velocity, scope change, carryover, cycle time, committed vs delivered) into the retro itself
- + Strong action loop: unfinished actions carry into the next retro, get quality-scored, and can be pushed into Jira as issues
- + <strong>Cloud Fortified</strong> on the Atlassian Marketplace — bug bounty, reliability SLOs, and a one-business-day response commitment on critical tickets
- + Built on Forge: no separate login, and the vendor states no third-party API calls or external data sharing
SprintRetro — cons
- − Jira Cloud only — every participant needs a Jira licence, and there's no Slack, Teams, Confluence, GitHub, or standalone web app
- − <em>No board export at all</em> — no PDF, CSV, or image download; the only data that leaves is a Jira issue
- − No async mode, presentation mode, drag-and-drop grouping, or scheduled/recurring retros
- − No SOC 2 or ISO 27001 of its own — the trust centre shows framework logos with no status label and no attestation report behind them; no SCIM, audit logs, or cross-team reporting either
- − Free-versus-Pro split is undocumented: both Marketplace listings advertise the same feature set, and Pro is never mentioned on sprintretro.co
