ScatterSpoke — pros
- + Official MCP server on every tier, including Free — agents can create, distribute and query surveys
- + AI theme extraction, issue detection, sentiment over time and adaptive AI-moderated interviews
- + SOC 2 Type II since launch, with annual penetration testing
- + 20+ retro formats, guided phases, and cross-team/program rollups
ScatterSpoke — cons
- − $814/mo for 3 teams of 8 on Business — 5 seats included, then $35/seat
- − Free tier is a single seat, so it can no longer run a team retro
- − No dedicated health-check model, team radars or psychological-safety survey
- − Integrations stop at Jira, Slack and Teams — no GitHub, Azure DevOps or Linear
- − The 3.0 pricing tiers never mention retrospectives; help-centre release notes stop at Sept 2024
TeamRetro — pros
- + Health checks and maturity models as a first-class module — custom dimensions, radar charts, trends across sprints
- + Three modules on one subscription: retrospectives, health checks, planning-poker estimation
- + SAML SSO, RBAC and US-or-EU hosting on <em>every</em> plan, not just Enterprise
- + GA MCP server plus team-level API keys and HMAC-signed webhooks, included on all plans
- + 15 native integrations: Jira, Azure DevOps, GitHub, GitLab, Linear, Confluence, Slack, Teams and more
TeamRetro — cons
- − No free tier — 30-day trial, then a paid plan
- − Audit logs, SCIM, IP allowlisting and guest/observer roles are Enterprise-only
- − Cross-team insights, reports and programs (team-of-teams) require Enterprise
- − ISO 27001 is inherited from AWS, not held by TeamRetro
- − Hosting is US or EU only — no APAC region despite the Australian HQ
