TeamRetro is a more complete Retrospected alternative built specifically for agile retrospectives and team health checks. It adds 275+ templates, automated grouping, health-check models, action tracking and SOC 2 Type 2 security on every plan.
Retrospected is a GPL-3.0 open-source tool for running simple retrospective boards, and for the occasional retro that can be enough. It does two things we do not: you can self-host it, and its Pro plan encrypts sessions client side so the server never sees the content. Teams tend to switch once the retro becomes a habit rather than a one-off. A free board caps you at 40 posts, you configure the columns yourself instead of picking a template, and there is little to carry a discussion through to a tracked action. TeamRetro is built for that recurring practice: 275+ ready-made templates instead of a blank board, automated grouping to cut the busywork, and actions that follow the team from one retro to the next.
The move is light. Start your next retro from one of 275+ templates, invite the team with a link, and carry any open actions forward as you go. Pricing is per team, from $15–$25 with volume discounts, rather than per individual license, so adding a teammate doesn’t change the bill. TeamRetro is SOC 2 Type 2 certified and GDPR compliant, hosted in the US or the EU, rather than something you have to configure session by session.
Which fits depends on how you work. A free, open-source board like Retrospected may be all a small team needs for the occasional retro. But if retrospectives are a recurring ritual you want structured, measured and actioned (with health checks, trends over time and follow-through you can see), TeamRetro is built for that.

What TeamRetro users say
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 helped our teams effectively manage retrospective meetings, even in a remote setup, saving time and increasing productivity.
It is intuitive, easy to use, and helps the team tremendously to perform a constructive retrospective. Also, the health check fully meets our requirements.
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.
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.
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.
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👍
