EasyRetro

6.2

Improve 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.

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

ScatterSpoke — pros

  • + Official MCP server on every tier including Free — OAuth sign-in, 33 tools spanning surveys and retro boards; reading results is where the paid line sits
  • + Only facilitators need seats — team members and email-verified guests join boards free, so 3 teams of 8 fit Business's $149/mo base
  • + Private-until-reveal writing and blind voting are on by default, and Group with AI leaves hand-made groups alone
  • + Ask cites the retro or survey behind its answers, and closed-retro summaries track which themes repeat across runs (paid plans)
  • + AI-run interview surveys follow up on each answer — a real option for async health checks between retros

ScatterSpoke — cons

  • − <strong>No action items</strong> — the v3 board has no action object, so decisions go into card comments
  • − No integrations in v3: nothing pushes to Jira, GitHub or Azure DevOps or posts to Slack or Teams, whatever the homepage badges say
  • − One CSV export from a closed retro; audit logs are Enterprise-only
  • − Retro AI is paid and Ask is metered — a shared monthly pool of 250 queries on Pro, 2,000 on Business
  • − The docs describe Signals and Automations pages that the shipped web app doesn't include as of October 2026
