Miro — pros
- + Enormous template library (7,000+ board templates, 300+ retro formats) plus the Miroverse community gallery
- + AI clustering groups sticky notes by colour, tag, author, keyword and sentiment — real time saved on a 60-sticky board
- + Best-in-class integration catalog (Jira, Azure DevOps, Asana, Linear, ClickUp, Confluence, Slack, Teams) with two-way card sync
- + <strong>Engage</strong> activities — live polls, word clouds, scales, ranking — are bundled with Business; participants join by QR code with no Miro account
- + Enterprise-grade SSO, SCIM, audit logs, SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001:2022, ISO 42001 (AI governance) and US/EU/AU data residency
Miro — cons
- − Per-seat pricing: 24 people cost $192/mo on Starter (annual). The tier that actually matters for retros — Business, with two-way Jira sync, SSO and Engage — is $480/mo
- − No health checks, mood tracking or longitudinal team pulse; Engage Scales reads the room once, it doesn't draw a trend line
- − No recurring retros, scheduling, action carryover or cross-team rollup — facilitators rebuild structure each sprint
- − SCIM, audit logs, domain control and data residency are Enterprise-only (30-seat minimum)
- − No built-in retro report or action-tracker dashboard; actions only persist as Jira/Azure DevOps cards
RetroTeam — pros
- + Tight, opinionated retro flow — capture, AI group, vote, act — with a timer on every stage
- + AI grouping suggestions are accept/reject per card, not applied over your head
- + Flat plan pricing: $30/mo covers 5 teams and 50 users, well under per-seat rivals
- + Participants join by link with no account required
- + Org-wide action dashboard with owner, status and due date, plus one-way Jira links
RetroTeam — cons
- − Jira is the only integration — no Slack, Teams, GitHub, Linear or Azure DevOps, and no public API or webhooks
- − No health checks, kudos, or longitudinal team-pulse tracking
- − Four built-in templates only; the custom builder fills the gap, but there's no template library
- − No SSO, SCIM, SOC 2 or audit logs, and hosting is US-only with no EU residency option
- − AI is credit-metered — 50/mo on Premium, 150 on Pro, then an upgrade or a one-off credit top-up
