ScatterSpoke — pros
- + Official MCP server on every tier, including Free — agents can create, distribute and query surveys
- + AI theme extraction, issue detection, sentiment over time and adaptive AI-moderated interviews
- + SOC 2 Type II since launch, with annual penetration testing
- + 20+ retro formats, guided phases, and cross-team/program rollups
ScatterSpoke — cons
- − $814/mo for 3 teams of 8 on Business — 5 seats included, then $35/seat
- − Free tier is a single seat, so it can no longer run a team retro
- − No dedicated health-check model, team radars or psychological-safety survey
- − Integrations stop at Jira, Slack and Teams — no GitHub, Azure DevOps or Linear
- − The 3.0 pricing tiers never mention retrospectives; help-centre release notes stop at Sept 2024
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, facilitator-gated voting with a configurable vote count, and mood polls at both ends of the session
- + Pulse Surveys track team health between retros, with 20+ ready templates and a cross-team dashboard on the Business plan
- + Genuinely cheap for a small org — £72/mo covers 3 teams with unlimited retros
TeleRetro — cons
- − Only Slack is documented as a native integration; Jira is claimed on the vendor's comparison pages but absent from its own integrations page, and everything else routes through Zapier
- − Actions carry owners but <em>no due dates</em>, and nothing links an action back to the idea that prompted it
- − AI never touches the board — Retro Bot generates formats and icebreakers, but there is no clustering, summary, sentiment or action extraction
- − 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
- − No product update shipped since August 2025 — the marketing site is actively maintained, the changelog is not
