Anonymous online retrospectives, no login required

RetroTool is a low-friction online retrospective board built by NY/Poland software agency u2i as a side project. Free anonymous retros run from a unique URL with no signup; paid tiers add private boards, team management and longer retention. The product still works, but the site shows no shipped activity in years.

Slack/Jira retro accountability — app no longer responds

Sprintlio was a retrospective tool built around action follow-through — Slack and Jira flows so action items didn't die on a board once the meeting ended. As of 3 August 2026 the product looks gone: the app host returns a Cloudflare 520 error, the marketing site was last built in May 2023 and now tells search engines not to index it, and there is no sign-up, log-in or pricing link anywhere on it.

Summary

RetroTool scores 3.2 overall and is best for small or ad-hoc teams who want a free, no-signup retro board with secret voting and a few standard templates — provided you're comfortable using a tool that hasn't shipped visible updates in years. It offers a free tier.

Sprintlio scores 2.7 overall and is best for nobody today — the app doesn't load. This entry exists for people who find the name in an old comparison, a stale directory listing or a procurement spreadsheet and need to know what happened to it. It offers paid plans from $50/user/mo.

RetroTool leads on ease of use and value. Sprintlio leads on integrations and open platform.

Across our eight scoring dimensions, RetroTool edges ahead with an overall score of 3.2. That said, the right pick depends on your team — see the dimension-by-dimension breakdown below.

RetroTool — pros

  • + Genuinely free anonymous retros with no account required
  • + Three-click setup — unique URL, share, run
  • + Zero-knowledge encryption with custom passwords on Company plan
  • + Per-team flat pricing ($10 or $20/team/mo, 15%+ off annually) with <em>unlimited members per team</em>, not per-seat

RetroTool — cons

  • <strong>Apparently dormant</strong>: blog stopped in March 2022, no changelog or release notes, legal docs unchanged since August 2020
  • No native integrations with Jira, Slack, Teams or any agile-stack tool
  • No AI features (clustering, summary, action extraction, sentiment)
  • No health checks, recurring retros, or cross-team reporting
  • Most templates, image cards, named participants, private invite-only boards and zero-knowledge encryption are all behind paid tiers
  • Not SOC 2; no SSO/SCIM/audit logs for enterprise buyers

Sprintlio — pros

  • + Action items pushed into the Jira backlog with owners and due dates, then chased in Slack — follow-through <em>was</em> the product's reason for being
  • + Slack-native flows: recaps, due-date reminders and notifications delivered into the channel
  • + Narrow and focused — a retro tool, not a retro module bolted onto an all-in-one suite

Sprintlio — cons

  • The app host (retro.sprintlio.com) returns a Cloudflare 520 — the product did not load on any path, from either vantage point, when checked 2026-08-03
  • Marketing site last built 2 May 2023, newest blog post September 2020, and it now carries a <em>noindex, nofollow</em> tag — the vendor has de-indexed its own site
  • No sign-up, log-in, pricing or contact link anywhere on the site: there is no way to become a customer, or to reach the vendor and ask
  • Capterra and other directories still present it as available at $50/user/mo with a free trial — none of that is obtainable
  • Even as it stood in 2023 the surface was thin: no AI, no structured health-check model, no cross-team reporting, and Jira and Slack were the only integrations
