Frequently asked questions

What is Metro Retro and how does it work?
Metro Retro is a collaborative online whiteboard designed for retrospectives and team workshops. It offers features like sticky notes, voting, and a playful visual environment to make sessions engaging and interactive. While it's great for free-form collaboration, Metro Retro does not include Health Check surveys, action tracking, screen-share mode, or customizable team radars. It also lacks structured workflows, AI-powered insights, or mood analysis, all of which are built into TeamRetro. TeamRetro is designed specifically for facilitators and teams who want to move from conversation to clarity, with structured stages, guided templates, AI supported grouping and action suggestions and customizable models that support deeper team reflection and meaningful follow-through.
Is Metro Retro free? What are the pricing plans?
Metro Retro no longer offers a free plan but provides a 30-day free trial. After the trial, pricing begins with the Starter Plan at $5/user/month (or $4/user/month when billed annually), which includes one team space, unlimited boards, and essential features. The Business Plan is priced at $8/user/month (or $6/user/month annually) and includes multiple team spaces, Jira integration, SSO, and priority support. For larger organizations, a custom-priced Enterprise Plan is available. TeamRetro also offers a 30-day free trial with full access to all features. After that, pricing starts at $20/month (billed annually) for the Single Team Plan, which supports up to 25 users. Plans scale by team, not user count—offering a Small Org Plan at $50/month for 3 teams, and a Large Org Plan at $75/month for 6 teams, all with unlimited users. In summary, Metro Retro charges per user, while TeamRetro uses a flat, team-based pricing model, making it a more predictable option for growing teams.
Is my data secured and protected with Metro Retro?
Metro Retro uses standard security practices like encryption and optional SSO on select plans. However, it is not SOC 2 Type II certified and not GDPR compliant, which may be a consideration for teams handling sensitive or regulated data. TeamRetro on the other hand, is built with enterprise-grade security from the ground up. It is SOC 2 Type 2 and GDPR compliant and can be hosted in either the US or the EU. Detailed information can be found on the TeamRetro security page.
How do I run a voting round or collect feedback?
In Metro Retro, voting is limited to standard rounds where participants can anonymously vote on items during a session. In contrast, TeamRetro offers a far more flexible and customizable voting experience. Facilitators can run dot voting, set the number of votes per person or per idea, allow unlimited facilitator votes, and enable independent voting to reduce bias. Votes are tallied and can be presented in order of most voted.
Can Metro Retro integrate with Jira, Slack, or other tools?
Yes, Metro Retro offers integrations with tools like Jira, Slack, and SSO providers. It supports basic automation and access control. TeamRetro offers deep integrations with Jira, Trello, Confluence, MS Teams, and more.
