No published product updates in over three years: the changelog last moved on 23 May 2023 and the blog on 28 Jul 2023. Acumen Labs, the Tel Aviv company that built GoRetro, was acquired by Via Transportation in mid-2023, and its co-founder/CEO has listed Via as his employer since July 2023. The app, pricing and marketing site remain online and actively sold. Verify roadmap, support responsiveness and data-retention terms with the vendor before committing.
Best for: Scrum teams that live in Jira and want a polished retro plus planning-poker bundle priced per team.
GoRetro pitches itself as the #1-rated scrum meeting platform on G2 (4.7/5), aimed at scrum masters, agile coaches and engineering leaders who want every sprint ceremony in one place.
"Make every sprint impactful, efficient, and fun."
The framing is a sprint suite, not a retro app: retrospectives sit alongside planning poker, a capacity calculator, sprint review polls and a Jira-fed sprint monitor. Marketing leans on data-driven language — Joker cards and meeting recaps built from real Jira sprint data — and on scale signals, name-dropping Adobe, Netflix, IBM and Lyft alongside "thousands of scrum teams." Enterprise credibility cues (SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, SAML SSO) sit next to the fun ones: icebreakers, polls, team-name generators.
GoRetro still has one of the more polished retro UXs in this category. Real-time boards, 20+ templates, per-board anonymity toggles (hide author, hide cards, hide votes), timers, action items that carry across sprints and a happiness index all work well — and for a scrum team already standardised on Jira, the bundled planning poker and capacity calculator make $29/team/mo defensible.
The problem is momentum. The changelog stopped on 23 May 2023 and the blog on 28 Jul 2023, and Acumen Labs — the Tel Aviv company that built GoRetro — was acquired by Via Transportation in mid-2023, with its co-founder/CEO listing Via as his employer since July 2023. The product is still online and still sold, but nothing has visibly shipped in three years: no public API, no webhooks, exports capped at PDF/CSV/PNG, Jira and Slack the only integrations, and no AI clustering or sentiment analysis while the rest of the category shipped both.
Best fit: a Jira-centric scrum team that wants a cheap, fun retro today and can live without a roadmap. Verify support responsiveness before committing.
