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.

TeleRetro
5.8Agile retros you'll love
TeleRetro is a remote-first retrospective tool built around team engagement — animated GIF reactions, emoji reactions on notes, icebreaker games, background music and a clean facilitation flow. Participants join by link with no account. It pairs retros with a Pulse Survey module for tracking team health between sessions, and prices per team rather than per user, aimed at small to mid-size agile teams who want retros that feel lively rather than mechanical.

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
TeleRetro — pros
- + The deepest <strong>retro-native engagement set</strong> of any tool here — GIF and emoji reactions on notes, background music during brainstorming, an AI icebreaker bot, and 50+ themed formats with their own backgrounds
- + Participants join by link with <em>no account required</em> — the fastest path from invite to first note
- + Clean facilitation flow: brainstorming mode, drag-and-drop grouping, Spotlight to focus the room on one note, facilitator-gated voting with a configurable vote count, and mood polls at both ends of the session
- + Pulse Surveys track team health between retros — 16 fully anonymous templates, custom models, and a cross-team dashboard on the Business plan
- + Flat per-team pricing with <em>no per-user charge</em> — £72/mo covers 3 teams, unlimited members and unlimited retros
TeleRetro — cons
- − Slack is the only native integration; the in-app integrations panel offers Slack and Zapier and nothing else, despite Jira appearing on the vendor's comparison pages
- − No way to schedule a future retro or set one to recur, and actions carry owners but <em>no due dates</em> — nothing links an action back to the idea that prompted it either
- − AI never touches the board — Retro Bot generates formats and icebreakers, but there is no clustering, summary, sentiment or action extraction
- − Export is thin: an emailed summary, a PNG of the summary screen, and an org-metrics JSON dump. No CSV, PDF or Excel
- − No SOC 2 or ISO 27001 of its own (the certs cited are AWS's), no SCIM, no audit logs, and SSO is Enterprise-plan only
