Reetro
6.3Fun, 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.

RetroTool
3.2Anonymous online retrospectives, no login required
RetroTool is a low-friction online retrospective board built by u2i, a ~60-person NY/Kraków software agency, as an internal tool it later opened up. Free anonymous retros run from a unique URL with no signup; paid tiers add private boards, team management, configurable retention and zero-knowledge encryption. The product works and is still used daily, but nothing has shipped visibly since 2024.
Full review →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.
RetroTool scores 3.2 overall and is best for small or ad-hoc teams who want a free, no-signup retro board with private drafting, secret voting and a dozen standard templates — provided you're comfortable running on a tool whose last visible build is dated May 2024. It offers a free tier.
Reetro leads on retro toolkit, fun factor, AI & insights, integrations, open platform and enterprise-grade.
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 & 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
RetroTool — pros
- + Genuinely free anonymous retros with no account required
- + Three-click setup — unique URL, share, run
- + Per-column Private Sections keep drafting unbiased until people publish
- + Zero-knowledge encryption with custom passwords on the Company plan
- + Per-team flat pricing ($10 or $20/team/mo, 15%+ off annually) with <em>unlimited members per team</em>, not per-seat
RetroTool — cons
- − <strong>Dormant</strong>: the marketing build is dated 28 May 2024, the app still runs Meteor 2.9, the blog stopped in March 2022 and the legal pages are unchanged since August 2020
- − No native integrations with Jira, Slack, Teams or any agile-stack tool
- − No AI features (clustering, summary, action extraction, sentiment)
- − No health checks, recurring retros, async mode, or cross-team reporting
- − Export is Markdown only (plain or Confluence-flavoured), copied to the clipboard
- − Most templates, image cards, named participants, private invite-only boards and zero-knowledge encryption sit behind paid tiers
- − Not SOC 2; Google sign-in only, with no SAML SSO, SCIM or audit logs
