Sprintlio
2.7Retrospectives with accountability via Slack and Jira
Sprintlio is a retrospective tool built around action follow-through, with Slack and Jira flows so action items don't die in a board after the meeting ends. Development appears to have largely stalled — the homepage still carries a 2023 copyright, there is no public changelog, and the last Product Hunt launch was February 2019.

SprintRetro
4.4Free sprint retros, embedded in Jira
SprintRetro is a free Atlassian Forge app from Agile Pulse that runs sprint retrospectives directly inside Jira Cloud. It pulls live sprint metrics (velocity, predictability, scope change, carryover, cycle time) into a collaborative retro board and — since a mid-2026 expansion — adds an infinite whiteboard, anonymous team-health pulse checks, timers, and an AI facilitator, alongside templates, anonymous voting, action items that carry over between retros, GIFs, kudos, polls, and icebreakers. A separate paid Pro listing exists for advanced features.

Sprintlio — pros
- + Action items sync to Jira and Slack — follow-through is the product's actual reason for being
- + Slack-native flows: run recaps, reminders and notifications from the channel
- + Simple, focused retro workflow without the all-in-one bloat
Sprintlio — cons
- − Vendor site shows few signs of recent development — copyright still reads 2023 and the last public launch was 2019
- − Almost no AI, no health checks, no cross-team reporting — feature surface is thin by 2026 standards
- − No published pricing page, no documented SSO/SCIM/SOC 2 — enterprise readiness is unclear at best
- − Integration surface is narrow: Jira and Slack only, no Teams, Azure DevOps, GitHub, Linear or Confluence
SprintRetro — pros
- + Genuinely free with unlimited users on your Jira instance (free app listing)
- + Pulls <strong>real sprint metrics</strong> (velocity, predictability, scope change, carryover, cycle time) into the retro context
- + Built on Atlassian Forge — runs entirely inside Jira Cloud, no external data egress
- + Expanded fast: now adds an infinite whiteboard, timers, anonymous team-health pulse checks, and an AI facilitator
- + Action items carry over automatically into the next retro for follow-up
SprintRetro — cons
- − Jira Cloud only — no Slack, Teams, GitHub, Linear, Confluence, or standalone web app
- − AI facilitation is thin and may be gated behind the paid <strong>Pro</strong> listing (~$210/yr for 25 Jira users) — the feature split between free and Pro isn't clearly documented
- − No async mode, presentation mode, drag-and-drop grouping, or scheduled/recurring retros
- − No SSO, SCIM, SOC 2, audit logs, or cross-team reporting
- − Young product (launched Sept 2025); ~682 free-app installs — fine for one team, less proven at scale
