Trune.io

Structured online retrospectives with team radar

Overall score
4.3

Appears dormant — adopt with caution

Checked 1 September 2026: the product still runs, but the vendor's public presence is failing. Every page on trune.io — homepage, pricing, sign-in, even robots.txt — returns a WordPress fatal error ("Es gab einen kritischen Fehler auf deiner Website"), confirmed from two independent network paths; the last working archive capture is 25 July 2026. The web app at app.trune.io still works, but its JavaScript bundle still carries the same content hash and a 6 September 2025 Last-Modified date, the newest blog post is 9 July 2024 (~26 months), and there is no changelog. The native iOS app (id6464329345) and Android app (io.trune) both 404 on the App Store and Google Play. Confirm the vendor is still trading before committing.

Overview

Trune (formerly Fraankly) is an EU-built retrospective and team-feedback tool that runs a fixed four-phase session — silent writing, presenting, voting, actions — with 14 pre-built templates plus custom ones, anonymous cards, drag-to-group clustering, dot voting, action items with reminder emails, and team radars including the Spotify Squad Health Check. Hosted in Frankfurt with EU-only application data, available in five UI languages, and exports results to Excel, CSV or an emailed PDF.

Best for: Small EU-based agile teams that want a simple, GDPR-aligned retro tool with templates, grouping, voting, and team radars — and can live with a vendor whose public site is currently offline and whose app has not shipped a release in a year.

How Trune.io describes itself

Trune sells itself as a structured online retrospective and team-feedback tool for remote, in-office and hybrid agile teams, priced flat per team rather than per seat. The voice leans hard on EU engineering: the datacenter sits in Frankfurt, and the FAQ answers "Are you GDPR ready?" with "Yes, 100%… we don't store any application data outside of Europe."

"Truly connected with your team? You will be with Trune."

Marketing headlines 14 templates (Mad-Glad-Sad, sailboat, the L's), anonymous cards and team radars, and claims 30,000+ participants a year across 90+ countries. Read all of that in the past tense: as of 1 September 2026 every page on trune.io returns a fatal WordPress error, so the quotes above come from the last working capture, dated 25 July 2026.

Our take

Trune has always been better than its own marketing, and this month the gap is absurd: trune.io is down — homepage, pricing and sign-in all return a WordPress fatal error — while the app at app.trune.io serves normally. Read the shipped bundle and there is a real retro engine in there: a fixed Writing → Presenting → Voting → Action flow, a silent-writing timer, drag-to-group clustering, anonymous cards, configurable dot-vote counts, a Scrum Master role, action items with owners and reminder emails, and three team radars including the Spotify Squad Health Check. It also ships in five languages while the FAQ still claims two.

The gaps have not moved. No SSO, SCIM, SOC 2 or audit logs — the security page cites only Google Cloud's certifications. AI stops at truneGPT, a ChatGPT-4 chat box. Azure DevOps is the only native connector and needs the $39 Professional tier; everything else is one one-way Zapier trigger.

Cheap, GDPR-clean retros for a single EU scrum team — from a vendor that has shipped nothing in a year and cannot currently keep its own website up.

Pros

  • + EU/Frankfurt data residency and GDPR-first posture — even the truneGPT assistant runs on an EU-hosted function
  • + Per-team (not per-seat) pricing: $19/mo covers unlimited members, and the free tier gives 5 full sessions
  • + Native two-way Azure DevOps sync — action items out as work items, Done status back in
  • + Team radars include the Spotify Squad Health Check plus fully custom radars
  • + Ships in five UI languages (English, German, Dutch, French, Italian) and exports to Excel, CSV or an emailed PDF

Cons

  • trune.io has been returning a WordPress fatal error on every page since late July 2026 — pricing, sign-up and support included. Only the app at app.trune.io still loads
  • No SSO, SCIM, SOC 2, or audit logs — not enterprise-ready
  • Both native mobile apps are 404 on the App Store and Google Play, and the web app has not been redeployed since September 2025
  • AI stops at truneGPT, a ChatGPT-4 chat assistant — no clustering, summaries or action extraction
  • Azure DevOps is the only native connector and needs the pricier Professional tier; everything else is a single one-way Zapier trigger
