EasyRetro
6.2Improve your team with fun sprint retrospectives
EasyRetro (rebranded from FunRetro in November 2020) is a long-running indie retro tool built around a fast drag-and-drop board and a 300-plus template library. 2026 added working AI — card grouping, meeting summaries with a sentiment gauge and board-column generation from a theme prompt — plus richer surveys with team templates and trend charts, an open-action-items panel on team boards, free PNG/CSV export and organisation audit logs.

RetroTool
3.2Anonymous online retrospectives, no login required
RetroTool is a low-friction online retrospective board built by u2i, a ~60-person NY/Kraków software agency, as an internal tool it later opened up. Free anonymous retros run from a unique URL with no signup; paid tiers add private boards, team management, configurable retention and zero-knowledge encryption. The product works and is still used daily, but nothing has shipped visibly since 2024.

EasyRetro — pros
- + Fastest setup of any tool we run: pick a template, share a link, participants join with no account
- + AI now does real work on the board — card grouping with reviewable merge suggestions, a meeting summary with an AI-estimated sentiment gauge, and board columns generated from a theme prompt
- + Surveys became a light pulse-check loop in 2026: numeric-scale and multiple-choice polls, team survey templates that auto-attach to every new board, and trend charts on the Analytics page
- + Flat per-team pricing with unlimited members — $60/mo covers three teams of any size — and PNG/CSV export went free in July 2026
- + Plainly still shipping: nine changelog entries in 2026, including an open-action-items panel that carries unfinished actions into the team's next board
EasyRetro — cons
- − Health checking is survey-shaped — a trend chart per survey, but no multi-dimension health model, radar or org-wide health view
- − Integrations are export-shaped: Jira, Confluence and Trello take cards out, Slack only announces new boards, and there's no GitHub, Linear, Azure DevOps or calendar
- − The API is one paid-only create-board endpoint; there are no webhooks, no read or export API and no MCP server
- − Vendor holds no SOC 2 or ISO 27001 (it leans on Google Cloud's), data sits in US Central with no EU option, SAML SSO starts at $90/mo, audit logs at $150/mo, and SCIM doesn't exist
- − Free plan is now 1 public board per month and 1 board total on the dashboard (archived included), with AI features excluded
RetroTool — pros
- + Genuinely free anonymous retros with no account required
- + Three-click setup — unique URL, share, run
- + Per-column Private Sections keep drafting unbiased until people publish
- + Zero-knowledge encryption with custom passwords on the 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>Dormant</strong>: the marketing build is dated 28 May 2024, the app still runs Meteor 2.9, the blog stopped in March 2022 and the legal pages are unchanged since August 2020
- − No integrations with Jira, Slack, Teams or any other agile-stack tool, no AI of any kind, and no health checks, recurring retros, async mode or cross-team reporting
- − Export is Markdown only (plain or Confluence wiki markup), copied to the clipboard or saved as a file
- − Most templates, image cards, named participants, private invite-only boards and zero-knowledge encryption sit behind paid tiers
- − Not SOC 2; Google sign-in only, with no SAML SSO, SCIM or audit logs
