Retro Rabbit
5.6Slack-first retrospectives with async note capture
Retro Rabbit is a Slack-native retrospective tool that lets teams capture notes throughout the sprint with a /retro command, then runs the retro on a synced web board with voting, action items and an optional CarrotIQ AI assistant. <em>Public update cadence appears slow — verify the product is still actively maintained before committing.</em>
Full review →Summary
Miro scores 8.1 overall and is best for large product, design and engineering orgs that already run discovery, planning and retros on one canvas and want AI clustering plus deep Jira/Azure DevOps/Asana sync. It offers a free tier.
Retro Rabbit scores 5.6 overall and is best for slack-centric agile teams that want to capture retro notes continuously through the sprint and run lightweight live or async retros without leaving chat. It offers paid plans from $30/mo.
Miro leads on retro toolkit, fun factor, AI & insights, integrations and enterprise-grade.

Miro — Pros
- + Enormous template library (5,000+) and Miroverse community for retro formats
- + AI clustering groups sticky notes by sentiment, tag, author and keyword; Sidekicks and Flows extend AI deeper into the canvas
- + Best-in-class integration catalog (Jira, Azure DevOps, Asana, Confluence, Slack, Teams) with two-way sync
- + Enterprise-grade SSO, SCIM, audit logs, ISO 27001, ISO 42001 (AI governance) and EU/US/AU data residency
- + Same canvas works for discovery, planning and retros — no context switching
Miro — Cons
- − Per-seat pricing scales painfully if retros are the primary use case
- − No native health checks, mood tracking or longitudinal team-pulse
- − No recurring retros, scheduling, action carryover or cross-team rollup — facilitators rebuild structure each sprint
- − Jira/Azure DevOps/Asana sync and SSO sit behind the $20/user/mo Business tier; SCIM and audit logs only on Enterprise (30-seat min)
- − No built-in retro report or action-tracker dashboard
Retro Rabbit — Pros
- + Genuine Slack-first workflow — capture notes via /retro during the sprint, not just at retro time
- + Reduces recency bias by collecting feedback continuously, not in a 5-minute silent write
- + Simple, opinionated UX with drag/drop grouping and dot voting
- + CarrotIQ AI handles grouping, action items and summaries on the Pro AI plan
- + Per-team flat pricing scales cleanly for small squads
Retro Rabbit — Cons
- − Slack is the only chat/issue-tracker integration — no Jira, Teams, Confluence, GitHub, Linear or Azure DevOps
- − No health checks, team radars or longitudinal trend reporting
- − No org-level dashboards, cross-team rollups or action kanban
- − Enterprise controls are thin: SSO is Enterprise-tier only, no SCIM, no audit logs, no documented GDPR posture
- − Per-team (not per-user) pricing can get expensive at scale across many small teams
