Overview

Trune (formerly Fraankly) is an EU-built retrospective and team-feedback tool that runs a fixed four-phase session — silent writing, presenting, voting, actions — with 14 pre-built templates plus custom ones, anonymous cards, drag-to-group clustering, dot voting, action items with reminder emails, and team radars including the Spotify Squad Health Check. Hosted in Frankfurt with EU-only application data, available in five UI languages, and exports results to Excel, CSV or an emailed PDF.

Best for: Small EU-based agile teams that want a simple, GDPR-aligned retro tool with templates, grouping, voting, and team radars — and can live with a vendor whose app has not shipped an update since September 2025.

How Trune.io describes itself

Trune sells itself as a structured online retrospective and team-feedback tool for remote and hybrid agile teams, priced flat per team rather than per seat. The voice leans hard on EU engineering: the datacenter sits in Frankfurt, and the FAQ answers "Are you GDPR ready?" with "Yes, 100%… we don't store any application data outside of Europe."

"Truly connected with your team? You will be with Trune."

Marketing headlines 14 templates (Mad-Glad-Sad, sailboat, the L's), anonymous cards and team radars, and claims 30,000+ participants a year across 90+ countries. The site is back after a five-week WordPress outage ending in early September 2026, but its pages date from 2024: the FAQ still lists two languages where the app ships five.

Our take

Trune's retro flow is tighter than most; its commercial fine print is worse than the pricing page suggests. The engine is opinionated in a good way: a fixed Silent Writing → Presenting → Voting → Action Items sequence, cards that stay hidden from everyone but their author until that person presents them, drag-to-group clustering, anonymous cards, configurable dot-vote counts, action items with owners and reminder emails, and three team radars including the Spotify Squad Health Check.

The fine print: the free trial caps sessions at 9 participants and three templates, and the app labels the Azure DevOps sync Enterprise-only even though the $39 Professional tier is sold with "3rd Party Integrations". Everything else is one one-way Zapier trigger. There is no AI: a truneGPT chat window sits in the code, but nothing in the interface opens it. No SCIM, SOC 2 or audit logs, and SSO only as a bespoke SAML setup.

Cheap, GDPR-clean retros for a single EU scrum team — from a vendor whose app hasn't shipped an update since September 2025.
