A tool your team can count on
TeamRetro is made by GroupMap, an independent company building collaboration tools since 2012: privately held, profitable, and with no outside investors pushing for an exit. Kollabe is a newer entrant: it launched in 2023 as a planning-poker tool and added retrospectives later. When you standardize on a tool your team uses every sprint, maturity and staying power matter as much as the feature list.

Frequently asked questions
Why do teams switch from Kollabe to TeamRetro?
Usually once retros become a regular habit rather than a one-off. Kollabe handles a single session well, but it can't schedule recurring retros and has no health-check model or cross-team view of how a team is trending between sprints. TeamRetro is built for that cadence: recurring schedules, health checks with heat maps and trend lines, sentiment word clouds, and an action dashboard that tracks whether last retro's actions happened.
How difficult is it to switch from Kollabe to TeamRetro?
It's straightforward, and there's nothing you have to migrate first: start your next retro from a ready-made template you can customize, invite the team with a link, and carry open actions forward so nothing is dropped between tools. If you want the history, your team and retrospective data, including all action items, can be migrated with TeamRetro's guides and customer support, or TeamRetro can manage the migration entirely for you.
How does TeamRetro's pricing compare to Kollabe? Is TeamRetro's pricing scalable?
Both TeamRetro and Kollabe use per-team pricing models. However, Kollabe's fixed pricing per team space makes it challenging to scale. You begin paying as soon as you exceed 10 team members in a room, meeting history is limited to seven days, and the free plan carries a single survey. Kollabe ships AI-generated summaries, AI grouping and suggested actions, but no health-check model. For example, managing three teams with Kollabe costs $87 USD per month, whereas with TeamRetro, it is $60 USD per month, without any limits on the number of teams. TeamRetro's pricing is built for scale, offering volume-based, multi-year, and discounted options that help you maximize your return on investment (ROI).
Is Kollabe safe and secure for team use, GDPR or SOC 2 compliant?
Kollabe provides basic security such as encrypted data transfer, but it does not publish a SOC 2 report or a GDPR posture, and it relies on third-party providers like Digital Ocean and OpenAI. In contrast, TeamRetro places a strong emphasis on security. It is SOC 2 Type 2 certified, SOC 3 certified, and GDPR compliant. Data is encrypted during storage and transmission and hosted on secure AWS infrastructure with support for SSO. Teams can also request a Data Processing Agreement, Enterprise Agreement, and other security documents. TeamRetro is independently audited each year, including external penetration testing, making it a solid choice for startups and enterprises that have rigorous security and compliance requirements. These comprehensive security credentials, including SAML SSO, SOC certifications, and GDPR compliance, make TeamRetro a safer option without the additional costs often required to meet compliance standards.
Does TeamRetro have all the features I'm used to in Kollabe?
TeamRetro includes all the core retrospective features you would expect, along with unique additions such as AI-powered insights, built-in icebreakers, check-in and check-out questions, and a presentation mode. These features are developed with feedback from Scrum Masters and teams to focus on running efficient and meaningful retrospectives. TeamRetro also offers health checks that allow you to easily survey your team on psychological safety, happiness, agile maturity, and overall satisfaction. It provides unlimited templates and a broad range of integration options to publish action items and meeting summaries, delivering more flexibility and depth than Kollabe.
What kind of support does TeamRetro offer?
TeamRetro provides comprehensive support through email assistance, detailed documentation, video tutorials, and for enterprise customers, dedicated onboarding services. The average response time is under two hours during business hours, ensuring that your team always has the help it needs.
Can I try TeamRetro before committing?
Yes! TeamRetro offers a free trial (usually 30 days) with full functionality, so you can run several retros and health checks before deciding. No credit card is required upfront.
What is Kollabe vs TeamRetro?
Kollabe started as a poker planning tool and later expanded into the retrospective space, offering strong features for estimation. TeamRetro, on the other hand, is a specialized platform built specifically for agile retrospectives and team health checks. It provides deeper support for structured retrospectives, anonymous brainstorming, action tracking, and generating insights to help teams continuously improve.
Is Kollabe really a free retrospective tool? What are the limitations?
Kollabe does offer a free tier, but it comes with several limitations. You are limited to 10 team members per room, four meetings a month and seven days of meeting history, and you cannot export your data. Kollabe does run a 28-day trial of its Premium plan. TeamRetro provides a free 30-day trial with no restrictions on the number of teams, members, or features, allowing you to experience the full benefits immediately without any installs, setup, or downloads.
What makes TeamRetro a better alternative to Kollabe?
TeamRetro is built specifically for agile retrospectives and team health checks. Kollabe has no health-check model; TeamRetro has an extensive library of health checks and retrospectives, with trend reporting. Retros come with customizable formats, private brainstorming, dot voting, AI-assisted grouping and summaries, action tracking, built-in icebreakers and music check-ins. TeamRetro integrates with Jira, Trello and Slack, and is SOC 2 Type 2 and SOC 3 certified and GDPR compliant.
What TeamRetro users say
The interface is clean and super intuitive and the flow was easy to navigate. I love the different options for retro types and the sticky note and dot voting experience was great. And finally, the ability to create actions was a fantastic finish. Your team should be SO PROUD.
In software development and consultancy, human factors can be the difference between ‘okay’ and ‘awesome.’ That’s why we hold weekly check-ins, and TeamRetro lets team members share their thoughts before meetings.
TeamRetro is a product where every detail is considered – simple usage, and good design. different flows for different needs, highly customizable, real-time features. It allows you to enter a retrospective or health check meeting comfortably and be ready for the meeting as a team leader.
It is intuitive, easy to use, and helps the team tremendously to perform a constructive retrospective. Also, the health check fully meets our requirements.
I love TeamRetro because it allows my team and me to focus on our topics without worrying about security or the tools we use, thanks to its amazing UI/UX. I started using it for retrospectives and health checks at my previous company, and now I also use it for planning poker.
TeamRetro’s Team Health Check feature allowed us to run quick surveys, providing a pulse on how our teams felt about aspects like communication and workload.
Probably one of the best applications we’ve used to conduct a retrospective. Seeing everyone interact with the board and share their opinions was awesome! The integrations with our Jira board is great. Allows us to track our goals and ensure they’re owned. Thank You, thumbs up from me👍
TeamRetro helped our teams effectively manage retrospective meetings, even in a remote setup, saving time and increasing productivity.
With the step-by-step framework TeamRetro provides, it enables small teams to hold regular retrospectives with alternating team members in the facilitating role.
Excellent, it’s exactly what we expected and even more, we liked very much the idea of incorporating in the report not only the current retro actions but also the pending ones from earlier retros.
