Reetro
6.1Fun, easy and AI-powered online retrospectives
Reetro is a lightweight retrospective tool with a genuinely free tier and a shipped app that runs well ahead of its own marketing site. Three board types — standard, phased (Reflect/Group/Vote/Discuss) and RoundUp, an async video, voice or text interview with AI-generated questions — sit alongside health checks, polls, a happiness calendar and an action tracker. AI meeting summaries, sentiment and emotion trends, auto-grouping and AI action items are quota-limited rather than paid-only, so Free gets a taste. SSO, the Scheduler and anonymous retros start on the $10/team Pro plan; data retention needs Pro Unlimited, billed at $49/month per organisation. ISO 27001 is claimed at vendor level; SOC 2 is listed as compliant, not certified.

ScatterSpoke
5.6AI copilot for team feedback
ScatterSpoke was rebuilt from scratch as v3 in August 2026: guided retro boards, static surveys and AI-run interview surveys, and Ask, which answers questions across closed retros and surveys with cited evidence. An official OAuth MCP server is included on every tier, including Free.
Full review →Summary
Reetro scores 6.1 overall and is best for small to mid-sized agile teams who want a cheap, AI-assisted retro board — SSO, health checks, the Scheduler and anonymous retros at $10/team/mo, or $49/mo flat for the whole org — and who don't need an API or ClickUp/GitHub/Linear. It offers a free tier.
ScatterSpoke scores 5.6 overall and is best for engineering orgs that want AI to synthesise feedback across many teams and surveys — and agent builders who need a survey backend over MCP. It offers a free tier.

Reetro — pros
- + Genuinely free tier, no credit card — 3 teams, 9 members, 6 columns and 50 guests, plus quota-limited AI (1 meeting summary, 3 auto-groupings, 3 AI action items a month)
- + <strong>SSO, the Scheduler and anonymous retros all start on the $10/team Pro plan</strong>, confirmed by the app's own upgrade copy
- + Pro Unlimited is genuinely org-wide — the app bills it at <em>$49/month per organisation</em>, not per team
- + RoundUp collects async video, voice or text feedback with AI-generated, editable interview questions — a real async mode, not just a board left open
- + AI meeting summaries carry sentiment, emotion trends (joy/trust/fear/sadness) and participation metrics, and roll up into cross-team comparison views
Reetro — cons
- − The marketing site understates the product: PDF and XLSX export, @mentions, link cards and comparative reporting are all live in the app yet tagged <em>coming soon</em> on the pricing page
- − No public API, no webhooks and no MCP server — nothing can drive Reetro programmatically
- − Slack and Teams notifications are sold, but the shipped app has no way to connect either; Confluence and Trello are export-only, a Word or CSV file plus a link to the other vendor's import instructions
- − No playable icebreakers: the in-app 'Icebreakers & Games' tiles link to four game subdomains, none of which resolves any more
- − No published Reetro-level SOC 2 Type 2 audit (the trust portal lists SOC 2 as 'compliant', ISO 27001 as 'certified'), and no SCIM
- − Anonymity is paid-only, and the Pro Unlimited plan card still reads PER TEAM while the FAQ and the app both say per organisation
ScatterSpoke — pros
- + Official MCP server on every tier including Free — OAuth sign-in, 33 tools spanning surveys and retro boards; reading results is where the paid line sits
- + Only facilitators need seats — team members and email-verified guests join boards free, so 3 teams of 8 fit Business's $149/mo base
- + Private-until-reveal writing and blind voting are on by default, and Group with AI leaves hand-made groups alone
- + Ask cites the retro or survey behind its answers, and closed-retro summaries track which themes repeat across runs (paid plans)
- + AI-run interview surveys follow up on each answer — a real option for async health checks between retros
ScatterSpoke — cons
- − <strong>No action items</strong> — the v3 board has no action object, so decisions go into card comments
- − No integrations in v3: nothing pushes to Jira, GitHub or Azure DevOps or posts to Slack or Teams, whatever the homepage badges say
- − One CSV export from a closed retro; audit logs are Enterprise-only
- − Retro AI is paid and Ask is metered — a shared monthly pool of 250 queries on Pro, 2,000 on Business
- − The docs describe Signals and Automations pages that the shipped web app doesn't include as of October 2026
