TeleRetro
5.8Agile retros you'll love
TeleRetro is a remote-first retrospective tool built around team engagement — animated GIF reactions, emoji reactions on notes, icebreaker games, background music and a clean facilitation flow. Participants join by link with no account. It pairs retros with a Pulse Survey module for tracking team health between sessions, and prices per team rather than per user, aimed at small to mid-size agile teams who want retros that feel lively rather than mechanical.

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
TeleRetro — pros
- + The deepest <strong>retro-native engagement set</strong> of any tool here — GIF and emoji reactions on notes, background music during brainstorming, an AI icebreaker bot, and 50+ themed formats with their own backgrounds
- + Participants join by link with <em>no account required</em> — the fastest path from invite to first note
- + Clean facilitation flow: brainstorming mode, drag-and-drop grouping, Spotlight to focus the room on one note, facilitator-gated voting with a configurable vote count, and mood polls at both ends of the session
- + Pulse Surveys track team health between retros — 16 fully anonymous templates, custom models, and a cross-team dashboard on the Business plan
- + Flat per-team pricing with <em>no per-user charge</em> — £72/mo covers 3 teams, unlimited members and unlimited retros
TeleRetro — cons
- − Slack is the only native integration; the in-app integrations panel offers Slack and Zapier and nothing else, despite Jira appearing on the vendor's comparison pages
- − No way to schedule a future retro or set one to recur, and actions carry owners but <em>no due dates</em> — nothing links an action back to the idea that prompted it either
- − AI never touches the board — Retro Bot generates formats and icebreakers, but there is no clustering, summary, sentiment or action extraction
- − Export is thin: an emailed summary, a PNG of the summary screen, and an org-metrics JSON dump. No CSV, PDF or Excel
- − No SOC 2 or ISO 27001 of its own (the certs cited are AWS's), no SCIM, no audit logs, and SSO is Enterprise-plan only
