SprintRetro
4.4Free sprint retros, embedded in Jira
SprintRetro is a free Atlassian Forge app from Agile Pulse that runs sprint retrospectives directly inside Jira Cloud. It pulls live sprint metrics (velocity, predictability, scope change, carryover, cycle time) into a collaborative retro board and — since a mid-2026 expansion — adds an infinite whiteboard, anonymous team-health pulse checks, timers, and an AI facilitator, alongside templates, anonymous voting, action items that carry over between retros, GIFs, kudos, polls, and icebreakers. A separate paid Pro listing exists for advanced features.

Retrium — pros
- + Battle-tested five-phase guided facilitation flow
- + Anonymous brainstorming and grouping by design
- + Persistent team-room action plan that carries forward between retros
- + Team Radar covers psychological safety and custom health checks
- + Per-team-room pricing with unlimited users on every plan
Retrium — cons
- − No free tier; 30-day trial only
- − Integrations are thin beyond Jira Cloud and a <em>still-beta</em> Slack app
- − <strong>No AI features at all</strong> — no summary, clustering, action-item extraction or insights
- − No native Microsoft Teams, Azure DevOps, GitHub, Linear or Confluence integration
- − Public shipping cadence has slowed — no 2025 changelog or product blog activity visible
- − Retro-only scope; no planning poker, kudos, icebreakers or whiteboard
SprintRetro — pros
- + Genuinely free with unlimited users on your Jira instance (free app listing)
- + Pulls <strong>real sprint metrics</strong> (velocity, predictability, scope change, carryover, cycle time) into the retro context
- + Built on Atlassian Forge — runs entirely inside Jira Cloud, no external data egress
- + Expanded fast: now adds an infinite whiteboard, timers, anonymous team-health pulse checks, and an AI facilitator
- + Action items carry over automatically into the next retro for follow-up
SprintRetro — cons
- − Jira Cloud only — no Slack, Teams, GitHub, Linear, Confluence, or standalone web app
- − AI facilitation is thin and may be gated behind the paid <strong>Pro</strong> listing (~$210/yr for 25 Jira users) — the feature split between free and Pro isn't clearly documented
- − No async mode, presentation mode, drag-and-drop grouping, or scheduled/recurring retros
- − No SSO, SCIM, SOC 2, audit logs, or cross-team reporting
- − Young product (launched Sept 2025); ~682 free-app installs — fine for one team, less proven at scale
