Retro Rabbit
4.4Slack-first retrospectives with async note capture
Retro Rabbit is a Slack-native retrospective tool: the team drops notes into a Slack channel or the web app all sprint long, then runs the retro on a live synced board with drag-to-group, dot voting, a shared timer and assignable action items that carry over to the next retro. The CarrotIQ AI layer is gated to the $40/team/month Pro AI plan. Four-person vendor, Slack is the only integration, and there is still no public changelog.

RetroTeam
4.6AI-first retro tool the vendor is winding down
RetroTeam is a focused, AI-first retrospective app — capture, group, vote, act, with Jira hand-off — that its vendor has announced it is winding down while the team moves to an unrelated interview-coaching product.
Full review →Summary
Retro Rabbit scores 4.4 overall and is best for slack-centric agile teams that want retro notes captured continuously through the sprint and a lightweight live or async board — and that don't need Jira, health checks or a procurement checklist. It offers paid plans from $30/team/mo.
RetroTeam scores 4.6 overall and is best for nobody adopting today — the vendor has announced it is winding down. Existing teams should export their PDF reports and pick a replacement. It offers a free tier.
Retro Rabbit leads on retro toolkit, fun factor, open platform and enterprise-grade. RetroTeam leads on ease of use, value and AI & insights.
Across our eight scoring dimensions, RetroTeam edges ahead with an overall score of 4.6. That said, the right pick depends on your team — see the dimension-by-dimension breakdown below.

Retro Rabbit — pros
- + Genuine Slack-first capture — notes land in the channel throughout the sprint, so the board opens full instead of starting with silent writing
- + Board covers the basics properly: drag-to-group with editable group names, dot voting with a configurable 1–50 vote budget, a shared pause/resume timer, and a per-user anonymity toggle
- + Action items carry forward — a dedicated <em>Old / Unresolved Items</em> tab plus per-room and per-person trackers, with Slack reminders to assignees
- + A GIPHY picker on notes that the marketing site never mentions — the one bit of levity on an otherwise plain board
- + Flat $30/team/month with unlimited users (3 teams of 8 = $90/mo), and CSV/XLSX/PDF export on every tier including Starter
Retro Rabbit — cons
- − Slack is the only integration — no Jira, Teams, Confluence, GitHub, Linear or Azure DevOps, and no public API, webhooks or MCP
- − No health checks, team radars or sentiment tracking; the only longitudinal view is a notes-per-day bar chart per room
- − AI is two calls — a per-retro summary and one action-item suggestion. The site's <em>intelligent note grouping</em> claim has no counterpart in the shipped web app
- − Enterprise controls are thin: SSO/SAML is Enterprise-tier only, no SCIM, no audit logs, no SOC 2 of its own, the privacy policy carries no GDPR or CCPA commitments, and the Slack Marketplace listing records <em>has a dedicated security team: no</em>
- − No free tier and no public changelog, from a four-person vendor whose marketing site has not changed since early 2025
RetroTeam — pros
- + Tight, opinionated retro flow — capture, AI group, vote, act — with a timer on every stage
- + AI grouping suggestions are accept/reject per card, not applied over your head
- + Flat plan pricing: $30/mo covers 5 teams and 50 users, well under per-seat rivals
- + Participants join by link with no account required
- + Org-wide action dashboard with owner, status and due date, plus one-way Jira links
RetroTeam — cons
- − <strong>The vendor has announced RetroTeam is winding down</strong> — the same team has moved to ChannelPulse, an unrelated interview-coaching product
- − No published shutdown date and no migration path; the only export is a PDF report, with no API, webhooks or MCP to pull history out another way
- − Jira is the only integration — no Slack, Teams, GitHub, Linear or Azure DevOps
- − No health checks, recurring retros, scheduling, async mode or kudos
- − No SSO, SCIM, SOC 2 or audit logs, and hosting is US-only with no EU residency option
