- + EU-hosted (Amsterdam) on SOC 2 / ISO 27001 infrastructure; GDPR-aligned
Ludi — Cons
- − No async retro mode, no recurring or scheduled retros
- − No team health check or longitudinal pulse product; mood/radar work via whiteboard templates only

- − AI limited to one clustering feature — no summaries, action-item extraction, sentiment or coaching
- − No ongoing free plan; expired trials become read-only
- − SSO gated to Enterprise tier; no SCIM, audit logs or domain restrictions advertised
Reetro — Pros

Reetro — Cons
- − Free plan capped at 3 teams, 9 members, 10 boards/month and 4 columns, with anonymity now paid-only
- − Voting is essentially upvote/downvote — no vote-on-ideas-in-groups
- − Reporting & analytics screens (team reporting, comparative reporting, monthly reporting, PDF export) still listed as <em>coming soon</em>
- − Several quality-of-life features flagged 'coming soon' — link cards, @mentions, scheduler, icebreakers, on-premises, in-app notifications
- − No public changelog or release notes — hard to verify what's shipped recently from the outside
- − No planning poker, whiteboard, presentation mode, mobile app, or GitHub/Linear integrations
