SprintRetro
5.0Free sprint retros, embedded in Jira
SprintRetro is a free Atlassian Forge app from Agile Pulse that runs sprint retrospectives directly inside Jira Cloud. It pulls live sprint metrics (velocity, scope change, carryover, cycle time, committed vs delivered) into a collaborative retro board, and the free listing also carries an infinite whiteboard, anonymous team-health pulse checks, timers, and an AI facilitator, alongside templates, anonymous voting, cross-sprint action tracking that can create Jira issues, GIFs, kudos, polls, and icebreakers. Both Marketplace listings are Cloud Fortified. A separate paid Pro app sits alongside the free one.

Neatro — pros
- + Guided four-step framework with optional anonymous commenting and a timer on every step
- + Team Radar is a proper recurring health check with up to 10 custom dimensions, not a repurposed template
- + Automatic ROTI survey on every retro closes the feedback loop
- + Action Kanban board plus an automatic reminder of last retro's open actions keeps follow-through visible
- + Cheap per head — <strong>$23.20/team/mo covers unlimited members</strong>, and the free tier runs 10 members forever
Neatro — cons
- − No native Slack or Microsoft Teams integration — reminders and summaries land wherever you paste the link
- − AI stops at grouping suggestions; no summaries, sentiment analysis, or AI-extracted action items
- − Per-team pricing gets awkward past a handful of squads — volume discounts only start at 20+ teams
- − No SOC 2 or ISO 27001 of its own (the security FAQ points at Azure's), no GDPR statement, and hosting is Quebec-only
- − No cross-team rollups, org health dashboard, SCIM, audit logs, public API or webhooks
SprintRetro — pros
- + Genuinely free for unlimited users on your Jira instance — the paid Pro app is optional, not the entry point
- + Pulls <strong>real sprint metrics</strong> (velocity, scope change, carryover, cycle time, committed vs delivered) into the retro itself
- + Strong action loop: unfinished actions carry into the next retro, get quality-scored, and can be pushed into Jira as issues
- + <strong>Cloud Fortified</strong> on the Atlassian Marketplace — bug bounty, reliability SLOs, and a one-business-day response commitment on critical tickets
- + Built on Forge: no separate login, and the vendor states no third-party API calls or external data sharing
SprintRetro — cons
- − Jira Cloud only — every participant needs a Jira licence, and there's no Slack, Teams, Confluence, GitHub, or standalone web app
- − <em>No board export at all</em> — no PDF, CSV, or image download; the only data that leaves is a Jira issue
- − No async mode, presentation mode, drag-and-drop grouping, or scheduled/recurring retros
- − No SOC 2 or ISO 27001 of its own — the trust centre shows framework logos with no status label and no attestation report behind them; no SCIM, audit logs, or cross-team reporting either
- − Free-versus-Pro split is undocumented: both Marketplace listings advertise the same feature set, and Pro is never mentioned on sprintretro.co
