Reetro

6.3

Fun, easy and AI-powered online retrospectives

Reetro is a lightweight retrospective tool with a genuinely free tier and a shipped app that runs well ahead of its own marketing site. Three board types — standard, phased (Reflect/Group/Vote/Discuss) and RoundUp, an async video, voice or text interview with AI-generated questions — sit alongside health checks, polls, a happiness calendar and an action tracker. AI meeting summaries, sentiment and emotion trends, auto-grouping and AI action items are quota-limited rather than paid-only, so Free gets a taste. SSO, the Scheduler, anonymous retros and data retention start on the $10/team Pro plan; Pro Unlimited is billed at $49/month per organisation. ISO 27001 is claimed at vendor level; SOC 2 is listed as compliant, not certified.

Your team's favourite way to retro

RetroFlow is a free, no-signup retrospective board built by solo developer Prashant Meena, with colourful boards, real-time collaboration, 11 ready-made templates plus a custom board builder, anonymous feedback, unrestricted upvoting, drag-to-move between columns, action items and PDF/Excel export.

The board is desktop-only — any viewport under 768px is blocked outright.

Summary

Reetro scores 6.3 overall and is best for small to mid-sized agile teams who want a cheap, AI-assisted retro board — SSO, health checks, the Scheduler and anonymous retros at $10/team/mo, or $49/mo flat for the whole org — and who don't need an API or ClickUp/GitHub/Linear. It offers a free tier.

RetroFlow scores 3.4 overall and is best for small or ad-hoc teams on laptops who want a genuinely free, zero-friction retro board they can share with one link — no signup, no payment and no setup, accepting that there is no timer, no phone support, no integrations, no AI and no enterprise controls. It offers a free tier.

Reetro leads on retro toolkit, fun factor, AI & insights, integrations, open platform and enterprise-grade. RetroFlow leads on ease of use.

Across our eight scoring dimensions, Reetro edges ahead with an overall score of 6.3. That said, the right pick depends on your team — see the dimension-by-dimension breakdown below.

Reetro — pros

  • + Genuinely free tier, no credit card — 3 teams, 9 members, 6 columns and 50 guests, plus quota-limited AI (1 meeting summary, 3 auto-groupings, 3 AI action items a month)
  • + <strong>SSO, data retention, the Scheduler and anonymous retros all start on the $10/team Pro plan</strong>, confirmed by the app's own upgrade copy
  • + Pro Unlimited is genuinely org-wide — the app bills it at <em>$49/month per organisation</em>, not per team
  • + RoundUp collects async video, voice or text feedback with AI-generated, editable interview questions — a real async mode, not just a board left open
  • + AI meeting summaries carry sentiment, emotion trends (joy/trust/fear/sadness) and participation metrics, and roll up into cross-team comparison views

Reetro — cons

  • − The marketing site understates the product: PDF and XLSX export, @mentions, link cards and comparative reporting are all live in the app yet tagged <em>coming soon</em> on the pricing page
  • − No public API, no webhooks and no MCP server — nothing can drive Reetro programmatically
  • − Confluence and Trello are export-only; Reetro hands you a Word or CSV file and links the other vendor's import instructions
  • − Icebreakers are still unshipped — the in-app 'Icebreakers &amp; Games' tiles are badged coming soon and link to a subdomain that no longer resolves
  • − No published Reetro-level SOC 2 Type 2 audit (the trust portal lists SOC 2 as 'compliant', ISO 27001 as 'certified'), and no SCIM
  • − Anonymity is paid-only, and the Pro Unlimited plan card still reads PER TEAM while the FAQ and the app both say per organisation

RetroFlow — pros

  • + Genuinely free with no paid tiers, no paywalled features and no account required to join a board
  • + Anonymous feedback — participants contribute with no signup, email or PII collected
  • + Three-step setup — pick a template, share the link, run the retro; participants join in one click and notes sync live
  • + Eleven ready-made formats plus a Custom Board builder (2-6 columns, 7 palettes, 48 emoji) with reusable saved layouts
  • + <strong>Unrestricted voting</strong> — no vote budget, no phase gate, and you can upvote your own cards; cards also drag between columns
  • + PDF and Excel export of the finished board — the only route to getting your data out, and it works

RetroFlow — cons

  • − No timer or phase controls — <em>still</em> nothing in the shipped app, and two timer requests raised in July 2026 sit unshipped as <em>Planned</em> on the vendor's own public roadmap
  • − <strong>Desktop-only</strong> — every board route hard-blocks viewports under 768px with a 'Whoa, tiny screen detected' overlay, even though the marketing FAQ promises a fully responsive phone experience
  • − No grouping of similar cards, no in-column reordering and no carry-over of previous action items; the 'Present' button is still badged SOON
  • − No integrations at all — nothing pushes to Jira, Linear, Slack or Teams, and there is no public API, webhooks or AI
  • − No health checks, recurring retros, mood tracking or cross-team reporting
  • − Solo-developer project with no support team, SLA, SOC 2, SSO or GDPR statement — support routes to a personal WhatsApp number and LinkedIn DMs, and the free-tier backend still shows a ~10s cold start plus a first-load error
