ScatterSpoke
5.7AI copilot for team feedback
ScatterSpoke was rebuilt from scratch as v3 in August 2026: retro boards, static and agent-run surveys, a Signals engine that detects morale, burnout and psychological-safety patterns in feedback text, and an Ask layer that answers questions with cited evidence. An official OAuth MCP server is included on every tier, including Free.

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
ScatterSpoke — pros
- + Official MCP server on every tier including Free — OAuth, no API keys to mint; reading results is where the paid line sits
- + Signals engine with fifteen built-in rules and a detect-then-critique pass before anything is recorded
- + Ask names the survey or retro behind every answer, and cross-retro theme trends ship on paid plans
- + Unusually precise public docs — a per-tier entitlement table that names exactly what each plan gates
- + Guest join by verified email or open link, and guests never consume a seat
ScatterSpoke — cons
- − $814/mo for 3 teams of 8 on Business (5 seats included, then $35/seat); Free is a single seat
- − <strong>Action items are no longer part of the v3 retro flow</strong> — the Review phase records outcomes as card comments
- − Manual grouping was removed; clustering is AI-only and board columns are fixed at creation
- − The v3 integration entitlement covers only Slack, Teams and email — no Jira, GitHub or Azure DevOps setup is documented
- − One CSV export from a closed retro; audit logs, data retention and org-wide AI are Enterprise-only
