Retrium

5.0

Guided retrospectives and Team Radars for scrum and agile teams

Retrium is a long-running, retrospectives-only tool built around a guided five-phase facilitation flow, anonymous brainstorming, dot voting, a persistent action plan, and Team Radar health checks. Since August 2026 the vendor has also run Retrium Next, a separate free open beta that rebuilds the retro around an AI co-facilitator.

Trune.io

4.3

Structured online retrospectives with team radar

Trune (formerly Fraankly) is an EU-built retrospective and team-feedback tool that runs a fixed four-phase session — silent writing, presenting, voting, actions — with 14 pre-built templates plus custom ones, anonymous cards, drag-to-group clustering, dot voting, action items with reminder emails, and team radars including the Spotify Squad Health Check. Hosted in Frankfurt with EU-only application data, available in five UI languages, and exports results to Excel, CSV or an emailed PDF.

Summary

Retrium scores 5.0 overall and is best for scrum masters and agile coaches who want a focused, retro-only tool with strong facilitation guardrails and a built-in Team Radar. It offers paid plans from $39/mo.

Trune.io scores 4.3 overall and is best for small EU-based agile teams that want a simple, <strong>GDPR-aligned</strong> retro tool with templates, grouping, voting, and team radars — and can live with a vendor whose public site is currently offline and whose app has not shipped a release in a year. It offers a free tier.

Retrium leads on ease of use, retro toolkit, fun factor, AI & insights and enterprise-grade. Trune.io leads on value, integrations and open platform.

Across our eight scoring dimensions, Retrium edges ahead with an overall score of 5.0. That said, the right pick depends on your team — see the dimension-by-dimension breakdown below.

Retrium — pros

  • + Battle-tested five-phase guided facilitation flow — think, group, vote, discuss, wrap-up
  • + Anonymous brainstorming and grouping by design, with a documented Fishbone root-cause format
  • + Persistent team-room action plan that carries forward between retros
  • + Team Radar health check — ten prebuilt radars plus a custom-spoke template, anonymous 1–5 scoring
  • + Per-team-room pricing at <strong>$39/mo</strong> with unlimited users on every plan

Retrium — cons

  • No free plan — 30-day trial only, and the Fishbone technique and SSO are excluded from it
  • Integrations stop at Jira Cloud and a <em>still-beta</em> Slack app — no Microsoft Teams, Azure DevOps, GitHub, Linear or Confluence
  • AI exists only in <strong>Retrium Next</strong>, a separate free open beta with no data migration, no uptime commitment and no pricing yet — the product you actually pay for has none
  • The only API is an Enterprise-gated SCIM 2.0 user-provisioning endpoint; no webhooks, and export stops at CSV, TXT and send-to-Jira
  • The shipping product has published no release notes since <strong>August 2024</strong>, and the Continuous Improvement Journey beta closed in December 2023

Trune.io — pros

  • + EU/Frankfurt data residency and GDPR-first posture — even the truneGPT assistant runs on an EU-hosted function
  • + Per-team (not per-seat) pricing: $19/mo covers unlimited members, and the free tier gives 5 full sessions
  • + Native two-way Azure DevOps sync — action items out as work items, Done status back in
  • + Team radars include the Spotify Squad Health Check plus fully custom radars
  • + Ships in five UI languages (English, German, Dutch, French, Italian) and exports to Excel, CSV or an emailed PDF

Trune.io — cons

  • <strong>trune.io has been returning a WordPress fatal error on every page since late July 2026</strong> — pricing, sign-up and support included. Only the app at app.trune.io still loads
  • No SSO, SCIM, SOC 2, or audit logs — not enterprise-ready
  • Both native mobile apps are 404 on the App Store and Google Play, and the web app has not been redeployed since September 2025
  • AI stops at truneGPT, a ChatGPT-4 chat assistant — no clustering, summaries or action extraction
  • Azure DevOps is the only native connector and needs the pricier Professional tier; everything else is a single one-way Zapier trigger
