GoRetro — pros
- + Flat per-team pricing ($29/team/mo) with unlimited members per team, plus a free plan for one team
- + Polished, real-time facilitation UX with per-board anonymity toggles (hide author, hide cards, hide votes)
- + Bundles planning poker, capacity calculator and sprint monitor with retros
- + Tight Jira Cloud integration for sprint-data-driven discussions
- + SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001 and SAML SSO available on Organization tier
GoRetro — cons
- − <strong>No published product updates since 2023</strong> — changelog last moved 23 May 2023, blog 28 Jul 2023
- − Free plan is thin: exports, retro analytics, Jira sync, happiness index, polls and icebreakers are all Premium-gated
- − Integration breadth is narrow — Jira and Slack only, with no native MS Teams, Azure DevOps, GitHub, Linear, Confluence or Trello
- − AI story is thin: 'Joker cards' and a meeting recap export rather than real AI clustering, summaries or sentiment
- − No public API or webhooks; async is a multi-day feedback deadline, not a structured async flow, and there is no scheduling or recurring retros
TeleRetro — pros
- + The deepest <strong>retro-native engagement set</strong> of any tool here — GIF and emoji reactions on notes, background music during brainstorming, an AI icebreaker bot, and 50+ themed formats with their own backgrounds
- + Participants join by link with <em>no account required</em> — the fastest path from invite to first note
- + Clean facilitation flow: brainstorming mode, drag-and-drop grouping, facilitator-gated voting with a configurable vote count, and mood polls at both ends of the session
- + Pulse Surveys track team health between retros, with 20+ ready templates and a cross-team dashboard on the Business plan
- + Genuinely cheap for a small org — £72/mo covers 3 teams with unlimited retros
TeleRetro — cons
- − Only Slack is documented as a native integration; Jira is claimed on the vendor's comparison pages but absent from its own integrations page, and everything else routes through Zapier
- − Actions carry owners but <em>no due dates</em>, and nothing links an action back to the idea that prompted it
- − AI never touches the board — Retro Bot generates formats and icebreakers, but there is no clustering, summary, sentiment or action extraction
- − No SOC 2 or ISO 27001 of its own (the certs cited are AWS's), no SCIM, no audit logs, and SSO is Enterprise-plan only
- − No product update shipped since August 2025 — the marketing site is actively maintained, the changelog is not
