SprintRetro
5.0Free 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.

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
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
