Retro Rabbit
4.4Slack-first retrospectives with async note capture
Retro Rabbit is a Slack-native retrospective tool: the team drops notes into a Slack channel or the web app all sprint long, then runs the retro on a live synced board with drag-to-group, dot voting, a shared timer and assignable action items that carry over to the next retro. The CarrotIQ AI layer is gated to the $40/team/month Pro AI plan. Four-person vendor, Slack is the only integration, and there is still no public changelog.

Neatro — pros
- + Guided four-step framework with optional anonymous commenting and a timer on every step
- + Team Radar is a proper recurring health check with up to 10 custom dimensions, not a repurposed template
- + AI grouping suggestions at Step 2 that the facilitator accepts or rejects one at a time — assistive, not automatic
- + Action Kanban board, an automatic ROTI survey and a prompt about last retro's open actions keep follow-through visible
- + Cheap per head — <strong>$23.20/team/mo covers unlimited members</strong>, and the free tier runs 10 members forever
Neatro — cons
- − No native Slack or Microsoft Teams integration — reminders and summaries land wherever you paste the link
- − AI stops at grouping suggestions; no summaries, sentiment analysis, or AI-extracted action items
- − Free tier has <em>no exports and no integrations</em> — both start at Premium
- − Per-team pricing gets awkward past a handful of squads — volume discounts only start at 20+ teams
- − No SOC 2 or ISO 27001 of its own (the security FAQ points at Azure's), no GDPR statement, and hosting is Quebec-only
- − No cross-team rollups, org health dashboard, SCIM, audit logs, public API or webhooks
Retro Rabbit — pros
- + Genuine Slack-first capture — notes land in the channel throughout the sprint, so the board opens full instead of starting with silent writing
- + Board covers the basics properly: drag-to-group with editable group names, dot voting with a configurable 1–50 vote budget, a shared pause/resume timer, and a per-user anonymity toggle
- + Action items carry forward — a dedicated <em>Old / Unresolved Items</em> tab plus per-room and per-person trackers, with Slack reminders to assignees
- + A GIPHY picker on notes that the marketing site never mentions — the one bit of levity on an otherwise plain board
- + Flat $30/team/month with unlimited users (3 teams of 8 = $90/mo), and CSV/XLSX/PDF export on every tier including Starter
Retro Rabbit — cons
- − Slack is the only integration — no Jira, Teams, Confluence, GitHub, Linear or Azure DevOps, and no public API, webhooks or MCP
- − No health checks, team radars or sentiment tracking; the only longitudinal view is a notes-per-day bar chart per room
- − AI is two calls — a per-retro summary and one action-item suggestion. The site's <em>intelligent note grouping</em> claim has no counterpart in the shipped web app
- − Enterprise controls are thin: SSO/SAML is Enterprise-tier only, no SCIM, no audit logs, no SOC 2 of its own, the privacy policy carries no GDPR or CCPA commitments, and the Slack Marketplace listing records <em>has a dedicated security team: no</em>
- − No free tier and no public changelog, from a four-person vendor whose marketing site has not changed since early 2025
