SprintRetro — pros
- + Genuinely free with unlimited users on your Jira instance
- + 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
- + Action items carry over automatically into the next retro for follow-up
- + Covers the engagement basics: templates, voting, action items, GIFs, polls, kudos, icebreakers
SprintRetro — cons
- − Jira Cloud only — no Slack, Teams, GitHub, Linear, Confluence, or standalone web app
- − No AI features (no clustering, summaries, sentiment, or action extraction)
- − No timer, drag-and-drop grouping, async mode, presentation mode, or scheduling
- − No SSO, SCIM, SOC 2, audit logs, or cross-team reporting
- − Young product (launched Sept 2025) with a small install base (~640 installs) — fine for one team, less proven at scale
TeleRetro — pros
- + Standout engagement features — GIF reactions, music and icebreaker games make retros genuinely enjoyable
- + Clean, low-friction facilitation flow with timer, voting, grouping and action items in one place
- + Pulse Surveys now track team health between retros, with a cross-team dashboard on the Business plan
- + Async mode and action carry-over keep distributed teams aligned between sprints
- + AI Retro Bot spins up a custom retro format from any topic in seconds
TeleRetro — cons
- − AI is limited to format and icebreaker generation — no board summary, clustering, action extraction or sentiment
- − Native integrations stop at Jira, Slack and Teams; Trello, GitHub and Azure DevOps run through Zapier
- − No SCIM, audit logs or SOC 2; SSO (Okta/Azure AD) is Enterprise-plan only
- − Health/pulse module is lighter than dedicated health-check tools — no team radars or psych-safety models
- − Annual-only discount and per-team pricing add up beyond a handful of teams
