SprintRetro
5.9Jira-native retros with real sprint data
SprintRetro is an Atlassian Forge app from Agile Pulse that runs sprint retrospectives inside Jira Cloud. It pulls live sprint metrics (velocity and predictability, scope change, carryover, cycle time, second-by-second burndown) into the retro board itself. A major June 2026 release widened it into a continuous-improvement workspace: an infinite whiteboard with visual templates, anonymous team-health pulse checks with cross-sprint trends, an on-demand AI facilitator, and an action dashboard that quality-scores every action. Both Marketplace listings are Cloud Fortified. The free app still covers unlimited users, but a paid Pro app now carries custom templates, unlimited grouping and AI sprint summaries.
Full review →Summary
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.
SprintRetro scores 5.9 overall and is best for scrum teams already living in Jira Cloud who want retros, a whiteboard and real sprint metrics on one board — and are happy for everything to stay inside Jira's walls. It offers a free tier.
RetroTeam leads on ease of use. SprintRetro leads on retro toolkit, fun factor, AI & insights, integrations, open platform and enterprise-grade.
Across our eight scoring dimensions, SprintRetro edges ahead with an overall score of 5.9. That said, the right pick depends on your team — see the dimension-by-dimension breakdown below.

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
SprintRetro — pros
- + <strong>Real Jira sprint data inside the retro</strong> — velocity and predictability over five sprints, scope change, carryover tagged with how many sprints an issue has slipped, cycle time per status, and a burndown that records every individual point change
- + The action loop is the best part: actions link back to the idea that triggered them, carry forward with duplicate protection, get an AI SMART quality score with a one-tap rewrite, and can be pushed into Jira as issues
- + June 2026 added a genuine infinite whiteboard — stickies, shapes, frames, tables, connectors, live cursors, follow-a-teammate, Tenor GIFs, private mode, a synced board timer, PNG/print-PDF export, and <em>board import from Miro or Mural</em>
- + Anonymous Team Health pulses across seven dimensions, with cross-sprint trends overlaid against committed-vs-delivered and carryover — the health-vs-delivery view is rare at this price
- + <strong>Cloud Fortified</strong> and Bugcrowd bug-bounty on both listings, and the free app still covers unlimited users on a Jira site
SprintRetro — cons
- − Jira Cloud only — every participant needs a Jira licence, and there is no Slack, Teams, Confluence or standalone web app, nor any public API, webhooks or MCP server
- − <em>The free tier is narrowing.</em> Today: 3 basic templates, no custom template creation, limited polls and grouping, no AI sprint summary. Published as planned: ~3–5 sessions/month and under 8 participants per session
- − No SOC 2 or ISO 27001 of its own — the trust centre's own entries attribute both to AWS, Atlassian Cloud and Render, not to an Agile Pulse audit. No SCIM, audit logs or data residency, and the app is not "Runs on Atlassian" certified
- − No async mode, no recurring or scheduled retros, and no cross-team or org-level health rollup — the Pro usage report covers adoption, not outcomes
- − Export is whiteboard-only (PNG or print-to-PDF); column-mode retros still have no board export beyond pushing an action into Jira
