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.

SprintRetro

5.0

Free sprint retros, embedded in Jira

SprintRetro is a free Atlassian Forge app from Agile Pulse that runs sprint retrospectives directly inside Jira Cloud. It pulls live sprint metrics (velocity, scope change, carryover, cycle time, committed vs delivered) into a collaborative retro board, and the free listing also carries an infinite whiteboard, anonymous team-health pulse checks, timers, and an AI facilitator, alongside templates, anonymous voting, cross-sprint action tracking that can create Jira issues, GIFs, kudos, polls, and icebreakers. Both Marketplace listings are Cloud Fortified. A separate paid Pro app sits alongside the free one.

Summary

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.

SprintRetro scores 5.0 overall and is best for scrum teams already living in Jira Cloud who want a no-cost, no-friction sprint retro tool with sprint metrics baked in. It offers a free tier.

Sprintlio leads on integrations and open platform. SprintRetro leads on ease of use, retro toolkit, value, fun factor, AI & insights and enterprise-grade.

Across our eight scoring dimensions, SprintRetro edges ahead with an overall score of 5.0. That said, the right pick depends on your team — see the dimension-by-dimension breakdown below.

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

SprintRetro — pros

  • + Genuinely free for unlimited users on your Jira instance — the paid Pro app is optional, not the entry point
  • + Pulls <strong>real sprint metrics</strong> (velocity, scope change, carryover, cycle time, committed vs delivered) into the retro itself
  • + Strong action loop: unfinished actions carry into the next retro, get quality-scored, and can be pushed into Jira as issues
  • + <strong>Cloud Fortified</strong> on the Atlassian Marketplace — bug bounty, reliability SLOs, and a one-business-day response commitment on critical tickets
  • + Built on Forge: no separate login, and the vendor states no third-party API calls or external data sharing

SprintRetro — cons

  • Jira Cloud only — every participant needs a Jira licence, and there's no Slack, Teams, Confluence, GitHub, or standalone web app
  • <em>No board export at all</em> — no PDF, CSV, or image download; the only data that leaves is a Jira issue
  • No async mode, presentation mode, drag-and-drop grouping, or scheduled/recurring retros
  • No SOC 2 or ISO 27001 of its own — the trust centre shows framework logos with no status label and no attestation report behind them; no SCIM, audit logs, or cross-team reporting either
  • Free-versus-Pro split is undocumented: both Marketplace listings advertise the same feature set, and Pro is never mentioned on sprintretro.co
