2.7Slack/Jira retro accountability — app no longer responds
Sprintlio was a retrospective tool built around action follow-through — Slack and Jira flows so action items didn't die on a board once the meeting ended. As of 3 August 2026 the product looks gone: the app host returns a Cloudflare 520 error, the marketing site was last built in May 2023 and now tells search engines not to index it, and there is no sign-up, log-in or pricing link anywhere on it.
Full review →Summary
RetroFlow scores 3.4 overall and is best for small or ad-hoc teams 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 integrations, no AI and no enterprise controls. It offers a free tier.
Sprintlio scores 2.7 overall and is best for nobody today — the app doesn't load. This entry exists for people who find the name in an old comparison, a stale directory listing or a procurement spreadsheet and need to know what happened to it. It offers paid plans from $50/user/mo.
RetroFlow leads on ease of use, value and fun factor. Sprintlio leads on integrations and open platform.
Across our eight scoring dimensions, RetroFlow edges ahead with an overall score of 3.4. That said, the right pick depends on your team — see the dimension-by-dimension breakdown below.

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, up from seven — Sailboat, DAKI, Plus/Delta and Three Little Pigs are all new since the last review
- + <strong>PDF and Excel export</strong> of the finished board — new this quarter, and the only route to getting your data out
- + Light personalisation — custom column names, 2-6 columns, colour palettes and per-note emoji, with reusable saved layouts
RetroFlow — cons
- − No timer or phase controls — three separate timer requests sit unshipped on the vendor's own public roadmap, and there is no countdown anywhere in the app
- − No grouping of similar cards and no carry-over of previous action items — both still <em>Planned</em> on the roadmap
- − 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
- − No enterprise security or compliance — no SOC 2, SSO, SCIM or audit logs, no GDPR statement in the privacy policy, and boards are private only by unguessable URL since there are no accounts
- − Built and run by a solo developer (Prashant Meena) with no support team or SLA — support routes to a personal WhatsApp number and LinkedIn DMs, and the free-tier backend still shows a ~10s cold start plus first-load errors
Sprintlio — pros
- + Action items pushed into the Jira backlog with owners and due dates, then chased in Slack — follow-through <em>was</em> the product's reason for being
- + Slack-native flows: recaps, due-date reminders and notifications delivered into the channel
- + Narrow and focused — a retro tool, not a retro module bolted onto an all-in-one suite
Sprintlio — cons
- − The app host (retro.sprintlio.com) returns a Cloudflare 520 — the product did not load on any path, from either vantage point, when checked 2026-08-03
- − Marketing site last built 2 May 2023, newest blog post September 2020, and it now carries a <em>noindex, nofollow</em> tag — the vendor has de-indexed its own site
- − No sign-up, log-in, pricing or contact link anywhere on the site: there is no way to become a customer, or to reach the vendor and ask
- − Capterra and other directories still present it as available at $50/user/mo with a free trial — none of that is obtainable
- − Even as it stood in 2023 the surface was thin: no AI, no structured health-check model, no cross-team reporting, and Jira and Slack were the only integrations
