RetroTeam — pros
- + Strong AI grouping and action-item generation
- + Flat per-team pricing scales well for small squads
- + Tight, opinionated retro flow (capture, group, vote, act)
- + Direct Jira sync for action items
- + Active product — weekly blog cadence through late March 2026
- + Custom template builder for teams that outgrow the four presets
RetroTeam — cons
- − Integration set is Jira-only; Slack, Teams, GitHub, Linear, Azure DevOps not advertised
- − No health checks, kudos, or longitudinal team-pulse tracking
- − Light on enterprise controls (SSO, SCIM, SOC 2, audit logs not mentioned publicly)
- − AI is credit-gated — Premium ships 50 credits/mo, Pro 150; heavy use forces an upgrade
- − Only 4 built-in templates (custom builder fills the gap, but no template library)
SprintRetro — pros
- + Genuinely free with unlimited users on your Jira instance
- + Pulls <strong>real sprint metrics</strong> (velocity, predictability, scope change, carryover, cycle time) into the retro context
- + Built on Atlassian Forge — runs entirely inside Jira Cloud, no external data egress
- + Action items carry over automatically into the next retro for follow-up
- + Covers the engagement basics: templates, voting, action items, GIFs, polls, kudos, icebreakers
SprintRetro — cons
- − Jira Cloud only — no Slack, Teams, GitHub, Linear, Confluence, or standalone web app
- − No AI features (no clustering, summaries, sentiment, or action extraction)
- − No timer, drag-and-drop grouping, async mode, presentation mode, or scheduling
- − No SSO, SCIM, SOC 2, audit logs, or cross-team reporting
- − Young product (launched Sept 2025) with a small install base (~640 installs) — fine for one team, less proven at scale
