Anonymous online retrospectives, no login required
No blog, changelog or release-notes section anywhere on the site (sitemap has only 12 URLs, all core product/auth/legal). Privacy policy and terms of use both still show 'Last update: 30th August 2020.' Parent agency u2i remains active but RetroTool is clearly a side project with no shipped updates in 5+ years.
Best for: Small or ad-hoc teams who want a free, no-signup retro board with secret voting and a few standard templates — provided you're comfortable using a tool that hasn't shipped visible updates in years.
RetroTool pitches itself as the easiest way to run an engaging online retro for remote and hybrid teams — claiming over 963,000 retros run on the platform. The hook is friction: a unique secure URL, no login to join, and never more than three clicks from idea to running session.
"The easiest to use tool for running engaging online retrospectives. You're always no more than 3 clicks away from having your retro ready."
Templates are pre-baked (Mad/Sad/Glad, Start/Stop/Continue, Liked/Learned/Lacked) or you start from a blank board. Free tier is positioned as free forever for anonymous use; paid tiers ($10/team/mo Individual, $20/team/mo Company) target scrum masters running multiple teams and add private invite-only boards, longer retention and zero-knowledge encryption.
RetroTool is a focused, no-nonsense board for the simplest possible retro: stickies, columns, voting, action points. For an ad-hoc team that just needs to run one session this week without procurement or signup, it's hard to beat. The flat per-team pricing is also refreshing in a market that defaults to per-seat.
That said, it sits well outside the lens serious agile programs care about. There are no health checks, no recurring retro cadence, no cross-team rollups, no AI clustering or summaries, and no integrations with Jira, Slack, Teams or anything else in the agile stack. Secret voting — the table-stakes anonymity feature — is a paid upgrade. Enterprise buyers will bounce off the lack of SSO, SCIM, audit logs and SOC 2.
Worth flagging: the site shows no public signs of active development — no blog, changelog or release notes, and the privacy policy and terms haven't been touched since August 2020. The product still runs and the team behind it (NY/Poland agency u2i) is still operating, but treat RetroTool as a stable utility rather than a tool that's evolving. Best fit: a small team, a one-off retro, a tight budget. Anything bigger and the gaps compound quickly.
