RetroTeam

AI-first retro tool, now shut down: its website and app are offline

Overall score
4.6

Likely abandoned — not recommended

Shut down. The vendor announced a wind-down and moved its team to ChannelPulse, an AI interview coach. Checked 5 November 2026: www.retroteam.ai (still pointed at Webflow) fails the TLS handshake in both curl and Chromium, and the app at main.retroteam.ai returns Vercel's DEPLOYMENT_NOT_FOUND 404 on every path, including sign-in, sign-up and its /api routes; the channelpulse.us/retroteam page cited last pass also returns 404. On 5 October 2026 the app still served sign-in and sign-up under a "RetroTeam is winding down" banner. No shutdown date, data-export path or migration guidance was ever published. Feature cells describe the product at shutdown.

Overview

RetroTeam was a focused, AI-first retrospective app — capture, group, vote, act, with Jira hand-off. Its vendor announced a wind-down and moved to ChannelPulse, an unrelated interview-coaching product, and by 5 November 2026 both the website and the app were offline.

Best for: Nobody: the app is offline. Former users need a replacement, and there is no published way to recover old boards or reports.

How RetroTeam describes itself

RetroTeam pitched itself as an AI-first four-stage retro: capture, AI group, vote, AI actions. Jira was the only named integration, and flat plan pricing at $10 or $30 a month covered the whole org rather than each seat.

By autumn 2026 it had stopped pitching anything. The homepage became a farewell notice ("We've decided to focus on interviewing"), and the app ran under this banner:

"RetroTeam is winding down. We are moving away from RetroTeam to ChannelPulse, our AI interview coach."

As of 5 November 2026 neither the site nor the app loads, and ChannelPulse's homepage no longer mentions RetroTeam.

Our take

RetroTeam is gone. Checked on 5 November 2026, www.retroteam.ai would not connect, and the app at main.retroteam.ai returned Vercel's "deployment not found" error on sign-in, sign-up and its API routes. A month earlier the app still signed people up under a wind-down banner.

What it did, it did cleanly: a four-stage board with a timer on every stage, AI grouping you accepted or rejected per suggestion, votes hidden even from the facilitator, and AI-drafted action items with an owner, status and due date. At $30/mo flat for 50 users it undercut every per-seat rival. It never had health checks, SSO, SCIM, SOC 2 or audit logs, and Jira was its only integration.

The vendor published no shutdown date, export window or migration guidance, and the only export was a PDF report. Teams that didn't pull their reports in time have no published way to get them back.

Don't look for it. If your team was on RetroTeam, pick a successor and recover open actions from Jira if you pushed them there.

Pros

  • + Fluxo retrô conciso e bem definido — capturar, agrupar por IA, votar, agir — com um cronômetro em cada etapa
  • + As sugestões de agrupamento da IA são aceitas ou rejeitadas individualmente para cada cartão, e não são aplicadas de forma generalizada
  • + Preço do plano fixo: US$ 30/mês cobre 5 equipes e 50 usuários, bem abaixo dos concorrentes que cobram por usuário
  • + Os participantes acessam o evento por meio de um link, sem necessidade de criar uma conta
  • + Painel de ações para toda a organização, com responsável, status e prazo de entrega, além de links unidirecionais para o Jira

Cons

  • − Shut down: the website and the app at main.retroteam.ai were both offline when checked on 5 November 2026; the team has moved to ChannelPulse, an unrelated interview-coaching product
  • − No shutdown date, export window or migration guidance was ever published; the only export had been a PDF report, with no API, webhooks or MCP to pull history out another way
  • − O Jira é a única integração — sem Slack, Teams, GitHub, Linear ou Azure DevOps
  • − Sem verificações de integridade, retrospetivas recorrentes, agendamento, modo assíncrono ou elogios
  • − Não há SSO, SCIM, SOC 2 nem registros de auditoria, e a hospedagem é exclusiva para os EUA, sem opção de residência na UE
