Echometer
5.6Retrospectivas basadas en la psicología y evaluaciones del bienestar del equipo para equipos de ingeniería
Echometer es una plataforma alemana dedicada a las retrospectivas, las evaluaciones de estado y las reuniones individuales, basada en encuestas periódicas, retrospectivas estructuradas y el seguimiento longitudinal del desarrollo de los equipos. Se dirige a jefes de equipo con una agenda apretada —directores de ingeniería, Scrum Masters y coaches ágiles— que prefieren contar con bibliotecas de preguntas basadas en estudios de investigación en lugar de una pizarra en blanco.

Spreo
5.9Pizarra colaborativa y lúdica para equipos ágiles
Spreo (formerly Metro Retro, then Ludi — renamed Spreo on 1 July 2026 after a US trademark cease-and-desist) is a visual agile collaboration whiteboard with 150+ templates spanning retros, planning poker, icebreakers and futurespectives. Its illustrated canvas and board gadgets — a shared Jukebox music player, timers, spinners, buzzers, confetti, throwable hats — make ceremonies feel engaging. Since late October 2026 it is priced by role: $13 a month for each Editor who runs sessions, $3 for regular team members and nothing for visitors on open boards, with Jira, Linear, SSO, PDF export and a beta MCP server all on the one Team plan. In-product AI still stops at beta sticky-note clustering.
Full review →Summary
Echometer scores 5.6 overall and is best for directores de ingeniería y coaches ágiles que deseen realizar evaluaciones periódicas vinculadas a las reuniones retrospectivas, con residencia de datos en la UE y una biblioteca de preguntas de carácter investigativo. It offers a free tier.
Spreo scores 5.9 overall and is best for agile teams who want retros, planning and workshops to feel visual and fun on a Jira or Linear backlog, with a few paid facilitators and everyone else on cheap Collaborator seats or free visitor links — and who would get real value from driving boards with an AI assistant over MCP. It offers paid plans from $13/Editor/mo billed annually ($16 monthly); Collaborators $3/user/mo ($4), visitors free.
Echometer es líder en kit de herramientas retro, valor, IA y análisis de datos y de nivel empresarial. Spreo es líder en facilidad de uso, factor de diversión y plataforma abierta.

Echometer — pros
- + Más de 200 preguntas de evaluación del bienestar basadas en estudios de investigación, modelos personalizados y encuestas periódicas programadas automáticamente
- + Radares longitudinales de equipo, mapas de calor y un panel de control del espacio de trabajo interdepartamental vinculado a las reuniones retrospectivas
- + Alojamiento exclusivamente en Alemania (Open Telekom Cloud, Magdeburgo/Biere) con un acuerdo de tratamiento de datos conforme al RGPD
- + Open actions resurface automatically in the next retro, with opt-in email reminders and one-click push to Jira
- + Tarifas por equipo, no por usuario: 87 € al mes para tres equipos de ocho personas, con facturación anual
Echometer — cons
- − Aparte de Jira, Slack y Teams solo reciben notificaciones de «inicio de la retrospectiva» y «encuesta enviada»; no se envían resúmenes, ni se utiliza Confluence ni Linear.
- − No dispone de API pública; los webhooks se activan únicamente ante dos eventos, y la exportación se realiza en formato PDF, CSV, Markdown o mediante un resumen enviado por correo electrónico.
- − No se dispone de la certificación SOC 2: el certificado ISO 27001 abarca el centro de datos, pero no a Echometer en sí.
- − Retro-side AI is limited to suggested measures and a prep-chat assistant. No clustering, no AI session summary
- − No hay reuniones retrospectivas programadas: los recordatorios de periodicidad avisan al administrador del equipo, pero cada sesión se inicia manualmente.
Spreo — pros
- + Genuinely delightful, illustrated UI with a gadget shelf built for live sessions: a shared Jukebox, timers, spinners, buzzers and a Voter panel, plus confetti and throwable hats
- + Broad template library (150+) covering retros, icebreakers, planning poker, futurespectives, planning and estimation
- + Hide Identities and Private Writing make writing <em>and</em> voting anonymous, with fully configurable voting rounds
- + Actions carry owners and due dates, with daily and weekly reminder emails on by default and a cross-board Action Items dashboard
- + Role-based Team plan keeps big teams cheap ($3 Collaborators, free visitors on open boards) and includes two-way Jira, Linear cards, SSO, PDF export and the beta MCP server
Spreo — cons
- − No async retro mode, no recurring or scheduled retros, and no health-check product; mood and radar work happen on whiteboard templates only
- − Integrations stop at Jira and Linear — no Slack, Teams, Confluence or GitHub; Azure DevOps is on the pricing page but was still <em>"coming soon"</em> in the October 2026 release notes
- − In-product AI limited to beta sticky-note clustering — no summaries, action-item extraction, sentiment or coaching; MCP moves the AI into your own assistant rather than the board
- − Every facilitator needs a $13/month Editor seat, and the free Lite board holds three people and lives in one browser
- − Desktop and laptop only, and no SOC 2 or ISO 27001 of its own: the certifications on its security page are DigitalOcean's
