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
- − Jira is the only integration — no Slack, Teams, GitHub, Linear or Azure DevOps, and no public API or webhooks
- − No health checks, kudos, or longitudinal team-pulse tracking
- − Four built-in templates only; the custom builder fills the gap, but there's no template library
- − No SSO, SCIM, SOC 2 or audit logs, and hosting is US-only with no EU residency option
- − AI is credit-metered — 50/mo on Premium, 150 on Pro, then an upgrade or a one-off credit top-up
RetroTool — pros
- + Genuinely free anonymous retros with no account required
- + Three-click setup — unique URL, share, run
- + Zero-knowledge encryption with custom passwords on Company plan
- + Per-team flat pricing ($10 or $20/team/mo, 15%+ off annually) with <em>unlimited members per team</em>, not per-seat
RetroTool — cons
- − <strong>Apparently dormant</strong>: blog stopped in March 2022, no changelog or release notes, legal docs unchanged since August 2020
- − No native integrations with Jira, Slack, Teams or any agile-stack tool
- − No AI features (clustering, summary, action extraction, sentiment)
- − No health checks, recurring retros, or cross-team reporting
- − Most templates, image cards, named participants, private invite-only boards and zero-knowledge encryption are all behind paid tiers
- − Not SOC 2; no SSO/SCIM/audit logs for enterprise buyers
