EasyRetro — pros

  • + Extremely easy to use with minimal setup friction and a clean drag-and-drop board
  • + Library of 100+ retrospective templates spanning multiple categories and languages
  • + Clean export options including Confluence, Jira (now bulk), PDF, CSV, PNG, Excel and DOCX
  • + Flat per-team pricing with unlimited members — $60/mo covers three teams of any size
  • + Still actively maintained — hide-column and on-the-fly timer controls shipped in 2026, and the web app was rebuilt from AngularJS onto Vue mid-2026

EasyRetro — cons

  • No native health checks, mood tracking or longitudinal trend reporting
  • AI is limited to a single board-summary feature — no auto-grouping, AI action items, sentiment, or template generation
  • Integration set is narrow and mostly export-only — no GitHub, Linear or Azure DevOps; the Teams integration embeds boards as tabs rather than pushing action items
  • Vendor itself isn't SOC 2 / ISO 27001 certified (relies on GCP); data sits in US Central with no EU residency option, SAML SSO starts at the $90/mo tier, and there's no SCIM
  • Free plan allows 2 public boards per month, keeps only 2 boards on the dashboard (archived ones included), and excludes teams and team boards entirely

RetroTool — pros

  • + Genuinely free anonymous retros with no account required
  • + Three-click setup — unique URL, share, run
  • + Zero-knowledge encryption with custom passwords on Company plan
  • + Per-team flat pricing ($10 or $20/team/mo, 15%+ off annually) with <em>unlimited members per team</em>, not per-seat

RetroTool — cons

  • <strong>Apparently dormant</strong>: blog stopped in March 2022, no changelog or release notes, legal docs unchanged since August 2020
  • No native integrations with Jira, Slack, Teams or any agile-stack tool
  • No AI features (clustering, summary, action extraction, sentiment)
  • No health checks, recurring retros, or cross-team reporting
  • Most templates, image cards, named participants, private invite-only boards and zero-knowledge encryption are all behind paid tiers
  • Not SOC 2; no SSO/SCIM/audit logs for enterprise buyers
