Miro — pros
- + Enormous template library (7,000+ board templates, 300+ retro formats) plus the Miroverse community gallery
- + AI clustering groups sticky notes by colour, tag, author, keyword and sentiment — real time saved on a 60-sticky board
- + Best-in-class integration catalog (Jira, Azure DevOps, Asana, Linear, ClickUp, Confluence, Slack, Teams) with two-way card sync
- + <strong>Engage</strong> activities — live polls, word clouds, scales, ranking — are bundled with Business; participants join by QR code with no Miro account
- + Enterprise-grade SSO, SCIM, audit logs, SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001:2022, ISO 42001 (AI governance) and US/EU/AU data residency
Miro — cons
- − Per-seat pricing: 24 people cost $192/mo on Starter (annual). The tier that actually matters for retros — Business, with two-way Jira sync, SSO and Engage — is $480/mo
- − No health checks, mood tracking or longitudinal team pulse; Engage Scales reads the room once, it doesn't draw a trend line
- − No recurring retros, scheduling, action carryover or cross-team rollup — facilitators rebuild structure each sprint
- − SCIM, audit logs, domain control and data residency are Enterprise-only (30-seat minimum)
- − No built-in retro report or action-tracker dashboard; actions only persist as Jira/Azure DevOps cards
TeamRetro — pros
- + Health checks and maturity models as a first-class module — custom dimensions, radar charts, trends across sprints
- + Three modules on one subscription: retrospectives, health checks, planning-poker estimation
- + SAML SSO, RBAC and US-or-EU hosting on <em>every</em> plan, not just Enterprise
- + GA MCP server plus team-level API keys and HMAC-signed webhooks, included on all plans
- + 15 native integrations: Jira, Azure DevOps, GitHub, GitLab, Linear, Confluence, Slack, Teams and more
TeamRetro — cons
- − No free tier — 30-day trial, then a paid plan
- − Audit logs, SCIM, IP allowlisting and guest/observer roles are Enterprise-only
- − Cross-team insights, reports and programs (team-of-teams) require Enterprise
- − ISO 27001 is inherited from AWS, not held by TeamRetro
- − Hosting is US or EU only — no APAC region despite the Australian HQ
