Frequently asked questions
Why do teams switch from Mural to TeamRetro?
Usually when running the canvas becomes its own job. Every Mural retro starts with preparing a board, then the facilitator herds sticky notes, groups themes and copies actions out to a PDF or Jira. Mural's facilitation tools are solid, but the retro process is yours to design and police. From a template you can customize, TeamRetro's guided facilitation walks the team to agreed actions, on every plan.
Is it hard to move from Mural to TeamRetro?
No, because there is nothing to migrate. Start your next retro in TeamRetro from a template, invite the team with a link, and carry open actions forward from sprint to sprint. Team-based pricing (from $25 per team per month) replaces Mural's per-member pricing, so inviting a stakeholder or a new hire to one retro does not change the bill, and you keep SOC 2 Type 2 and GDPR compliance.
When does TeamRetro make more sense than Mural?
When retrospectives are a recurring ritual you want structured, measured and actioned. TeamRetro does not replace a whiteboard, so open-ended visual collaboration stays on the canvas. The retro your team runs every sprint is where TeamRetro earns its keep.
What is Mural?
Mural is an online collaborative whiteboard where teams add sticky notes, diagrams and drawings to a shared canvas in real time, often for workshops, design sprints and visual brainstorming. Voting, a timer and private mode come on every plan. TeamRetro is a purpose-built alternative for agile retrospectives and team health checks: a guided flow from private brainstorming through automated grouping, voting and agreed actions, plus health-check models, recurring meetings, sentiment over time and SOC 2 Type 2 security.
What are Mural's pricing plans?
Mural offers a Free plan that allows 3 editable murals at a time with unlimited members. Paid plans are priced per member: Team+ is $9.99 per member per month billed annually ($12 billed monthly) and unlocks unlimited editable murals and Mural AI, while the Business plan at $17.99 per member per month billed annually adds single sign-on and advanced integrations. Enterprise pricing is by quote. TeamRetro's pricing works differently: a single team plan is $25 per month ($250 billed yearly) for up to 25 members, and the multi-team plans include unlimited members with additional teams from $15 per team per month, so inviting one more person to the retro is not what you pay for.
Can I run a retrospective in Mural?
Yes. Mural's template library includes retrospective formats such as sailboat and sprint retrospectives, and its five-step guidance covers setting the stage through closing the retro. The facilitation is manual, though: you prepare the canvas, guide the group with the outline and summon tools, group sticky notes yourself (or use Mural AI clustering on paid plans), run the vote and export the results to a PDF or CSV. TeamRetro automates that workflow. Pick a template you can customize and the meeting moves stage by stage on every participant's screen, ideas group automatically, voting is independent, and actions are captured against ideas and carried forward to the next retro.
Does Mural have AI features?
Yes. Mural AI can cluster sticky notes by topic, summarize a board, generate mind maps and classify notes by emotional tone. It is included on the paid Team+, Business and Enterprise plans, not on the Free plan. TeamRetro includes automated idea grouping on every plan, and its in-meeting assistant trAI can summarize the discussion, capture actions and answer questions about your team's past meetings.
Is Mural safe to use?
Mural is generally considered safe to use. It holds SOC 2 Type 2 and ISO 27001 certifications and states GDPR and CCPA compliance, with enterprise features such as SSO, two-factor authentication and data residency on its higher plans. TeamRetro is also SOC 2 Type II and GDPR compliant and can be hosted in either the US or the EU on Amazon Web Services. Read more in TeamRetro's security and GDPR statements.
Is Mural free?
Mural has a useful free plan: unlimited members and view-only visitors, with the core facilitation tools included, limited to 3 editable murals at a time. Because a recurring retrospective adds a new board every sprint, teams tend to hit that cap quickly and move to per-member paid plans. TeamRetro offers a 30-day free trial with every feature, then team-based pricing.
What TeamRetro users say
TeamRetro helped our teams effectively manage retrospective meetings, even in a remote setup, saving time and increasing productivity.
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.
TeamRetro fits very well because it requires minimum learning effort and delivers the expected result. I have never heard negative feedback about this tool and rather see a constantly growing interest from the individuals and departments who encounter and try the tool.
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.
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.
I’m a big fan of retrospectives and other structured brainstorming meeting formats to unlock the potential in our organization, and I found TeamRetro to be the best solution on the market.
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.
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👍
With the step-by-step framework TeamRetro provides, it enables small teams to hold regular retrospectives with alternating team members in the facilitating role.
I am a software engineer at Zocdoc and I have been looking for a great to use retrospective tool. We gave TeamRetro a trial and it was an awesome experience.
It is intuitive, easy to use, and helps the team tremendously to perform a constructive retrospective. Also, the health check fully meets our requirements.
