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.

ScatterSpoke

5.7

AI 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.

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.

ScatterSpoke scores 5.7 overall and is best for engineering orgs that want AI to synthesise feedback across many teams and surveys — and agent builders who need a survey backend over MCP. It offers a free tier.

Reetro leads on retro toolkit, value, fun factor and integrations. ScatterSpoke leads on ease of use, AI & insights and open platform.

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

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
