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
TeamRetro — pros
- + Health checks and maturity models as a first-class module — custom dimensions, radar charts, trends across sprints
- + Three modules on one subscription: retrospectives, health checks, planning-poker estimation
- + SAML SSO, RBAC and US-or-EU hosting on <em>every</em> plan, not just Enterprise
- + GA MCP server, team-level API keys and HMAC-signed webhooks on all plans; 15 native agile-stack integrations plus Zapier and n8n
- + <em>trAI</em> in-meeting assistant on trial and paid plans, plus 12 native in-meeting icebreaker games on every account
TeamRetro — cons
- − No free tier — 30-day trial, then a paid plan
- − The SOC 2 Type 2 report is Enterprise-only; lower tiers get the SOC 3 report instead
- − SCIM, IP allowlisting, domain capture and guest/observer roles are Enterprise-only, and audit logs are on request rather than self-serve
- − Cross-team insights, reports and programs (team-of-teams) require Enterprise
- − ISO 27001 is inherited from AWS, and hosting is US or EU only — no APAC region despite the Australian HQ
