Sprintlio
2.7Slack/Jira retro accountability — app no longer responds
Sprintlio was a retrospective tool built around action follow-through — Slack and Jira flows so action items didn't die on a board once the meeting ended. As of 3 August 2026 the product looks gone: the app host returns a Cloudflare 520 error, the marketing site was last built in May 2023 and now tells search engines not to index it, and there is no sign-up, log-in or pricing link anywhere on it.
Full review →Summary
Mural scores 6.6 overall and is best for workshop-heavy teams (design, product, agile coaching) that want a polished facilitation canvas with strong retro templates and enterprise-grade controls. It offers a free tier.
Sprintlio scores 2.7 overall and is best for nobody today — the app doesn't load. This entry exists for people who find the name in an old comparison, a stale directory listing or a procurement spreadsheet and need to know what happened to it. It offers paid plans from $50/user/mo.
Mural leads on ease of use, retro toolkit, value, fun factor, AI & insights, integrations, open platform and enterprise-grade.
Across our eight scoring dimensions, Mural edges ahead with an overall score of 6.6. That said, the right pick depends on your team — see the dimension-by-dimension breakdown below.

Mural — pros
- + Mature facilitation toolkit — Outline, Timer, Voting, Private Mode — refined over 10+ years
- + Anonymous where it counts: votes hide who voted, and Private Mode can keep sticky authors hidden even after reveal
- + Best-in-class enterprise posture: SOC 2 Type 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, SSO/SAML, SCIM, NA/EU/APAC residency
- + Two-way Jira and Azure DevOps sync via interactive work-item cards turns sticky notes into tracked issues
- + Polished UX, especially for facilitators running synchronous workshops
Mural — cons
- − Per-seat pricing: a 24-person org pays ~$240/mo on the Team+ tier (annual), well above retro-native tools at that headcount
- − No native health checks, mood tracking or longitudinal team-pulse
- − No recurring retros, action carryover or cross-team rollup — facilitators rebuild structure each sprint
- − AI (clustering, summary, tone Classify) helps inside a session but doesn't track trends across retros
- − SSO/SAML needs the $17.99/user/mo Business tier; SCIM, audit logs and data residency are Enterprise-only
Sprintlio — pros
- + Action items pushed into the Jira backlog with owners and due dates, then chased in Slack — follow-through <em>was</em> the product's reason for being
- + Slack-native flows: recaps, due-date reminders and notifications delivered into the channel
- + Narrow and focused — a retro tool, not a retro module bolted onto an all-in-one suite
Sprintlio — cons
- − The app host (retro.sprintlio.com) returns a Cloudflare 520 — the product did not load on any path, from either vantage point, when checked 2026-08-03
- − Marketing site last built 2 May 2023, newest blog post September 2020, and it now carries a <em>noindex, nofollow</em> tag — the vendor has de-indexed its own site
- − No sign-up, log-in, pricing or contact link anywhere on the site: there is no way to become a customer, or to reach the vendor and ask
- − Capterra and other directories still present it as available at $50/user/mo with a free trial — none of that is obtainable
- − Even as it stood in 2023 the surface was thin: no AI, no structured health-check model, no cross-team reporting, and Jira and Slack were the only integrations
