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 — fine for one team, less proven at scale
TeleRetro — Pros
- + Standout engagement features — animated GIF reactions and icebreaker games make retros genuinely enjoyable
- + Clean, low-friction facilitation flow with timer, voting, grouping and action items in one place
- + Async mode lets distributed teams contribute before the live session
- + Action carry-over keeps previous items visible so nothing gets lost between sprints
- + Generous free tier — unlimited retros for small teams with no credit card required
TeleRetro — Cons
- − No native health-check or longitudinal pulse module
- − AI limited to a beta board-summary feature — no grouping, action extraction or sentiment
- − Integration set is narrow — no Confluence, GitHub, Linear or Azure DevOps
- − No SCIM, audit logs or advanced enterprise controls; SSO gated to higher plans
- − No cross-team reporting or org-level dashboards
