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

ScatterSpoke — pros

  • + Official MCP server on every tier, including Free — agents can create, distribute and query surveys
  • + AI theme extraction, issue detection, sentiment over time and adaptive AI-moderated interviews
  • + SOC 2 Type II since launch, with annual penetration testing
  • + 20+ retro formats, guided phases, and cross-team/program rollups

ScatterSpoke — cons

  • $814/mo for 3 teams of 8 on Business — 5 seats included, then $35/seat
  • Free tier is a single seat, so it can no longer run a team retro
  • No dedicated health-check model, team radars or psychological-safety survey
  • Integrations stop at Jira, Slack and Teams — no GitHub, Azure DevOps or Linear
  • The 3.0 pricing tiers never mention retrospectives; help-centre release notes stop at Sept 2024
