- + Anonymous brainstorming and grouping by design
- + Persistent team-room action plan that carries forward between retros

Retrium — cons
- − No free tier; 30-day trial only

- − <strong>No AI features at all</strong> — no summary, clustering, action-item extraction or insights
- − No native Microsoft Teams, Azure DevOps, GitHub, Linear or Confluence integration
- − Public shipping cadence has slowed — no 2025 changelog or product blog activity visible
- − Retro-only scope; no planning poker, kudos, icebreakers or whiteboard
ScatterSpoke — pros
- + AI themes, sentiment scoring and impact analysis across retros
- + 20+ retro formats plus custom formats with real-time collaboration

ScatterSpoke — cons

- − Tier-based pricing jumps sharply ($0 to $50 to $500/mo)
- − SAML/OIDC SSO and SCIM are Enterprise tier only; Business gets social logins + MFA
