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
TeleRetro — pros
- + The deepest <strong>retro-native engagement set</strong> of any tool here — GIF and emoji reactions on notes, background music during brainstorming, an AI icebreaker bot, and 50+ themed formats with their own backgrounds
- + Participants join by link with <em>no account required</em> — the fastest path from invite to first note
- + Clean facilitation flow: brainstorming mode, drag-and-drop grouping, facilitator-gated voting with a configurable vote count, and mood polls at both ends of the session
- + Pulse Surveys track team health between retros, with 20+ ready templates and a cross-team dashboard on the Business plan
- + Genuinely cheap for a small org — £72/mo covers 3 teams with unlimited retros
TeleRetro — cons
- − Only Slack is documented as a native integration; Jira is claimed on the vendor's comparison pages but absent from its own integrations page, and everything else routes through Zapier
- − Actions carry owners but <em>no due dates</em>, and nothing links an action back to the idea that prompted it
- − AI never touches the board — Retro Bot generates formats and icebreakers, but there is no clustering, summary, sentiment or action extraction
- − No SOC 2 or ISO 27001 of its own (the certs cited are AWS's), no SCIM, no audit logs, and SSO is Enterprise-plan only
- − No product update shipped since August 2025 — the marketing site is actively maintained, the changelog is not
