What TeamRetro users say

60,000+ teams across 100+ countries since 2018

  • Kim Hansen, User Experience Design Manager, Appfolio: “I just need to tell you that using TeamRetro for the first time was AMAZING. 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.”
  • Kamol Mavlonov, Group Engineering Manager | Appier: “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. The initial setup was a seamless experience, which I really appreciate.”
  • Jan Nowak, VP Projects and Technology, Appsfactory: “We are pursuing the goal of making retrospectives in all teams more efficient by using the TeamRetro tool.”
  • Clávison Zapelini, Development Coordinator at Attus Procuradoria Digital: “Using TeamRetro, we’re able to surface insights and turn them into clear, actionable agreements with real accountability. Leadership noted that both engagement and team relationships improved. What was once a challenge became a strength.”
  • Dominique Standring, Chief Operating Officer | Big Give: “As a charity ourselves, we need to keep costs as low as possible, but the free retro tools available were not fit for purpose. We ran a few retros through TeamRetro with the trial version and were really pleased with the functionality, user interface and integration with Jira.”
  • Marion Bernard, Agile Coach at BlaBlaCar: “We save a lot of time as agile coaches! In parallel, our Agile Catalysts inside our teams now have a central tool with all improvements and action items they can easily manage. It has been adopted very quickly!”
  • Ibrahim Abram, Procurement Specialist | Culture Amp: “TeamRetro is one of the key tools that enables us to live our value of "Learn faster through feedback" within our engineering organisation. It provides us a way to run retros and health checks effectively and track actions that come out of these sessions in Jira.”

  • Beth Archer, Registered Scrum Master (RSM) and Grant Professional Certified (GPC) strategist, DH Leonard Consulting: “It’s the exact kind of tool we need.

It was straightforward to transition from our previous system.”
  • Dr. Sie, Senior Lecturer in AI and Software Engineering, University of Wollongong: “TeamRetro helped students reflect on their group processes early, enabling them to solve challenges quickly and work more effectively as a team. Using TeamRetro meant that I had to spend less time resolving group challenges myself.”

  • Martijn Groeneveldt, Software Developer at Infi: “We believe that in the software development and consultancy business, human factors can make the difference between ‘okay’ and ‘awesome’.

  • Heinrich Rauh, COO and Co-Founder of Planted: “TeamRetro has been a real game-changer for us. Our retros are not only more productive but also enjoyable. Most importantly, we can see how feedback translates directly into product improvements and better processes.”
  • Leonardo Mena, Head of Product Development, Pyxis: “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.”
  • Alex Kreilein, Vice President of Product Security, Qualys: “@TeamRetroHQ thank you - so much - for your exceptional product! You've totally changed my company.”

Frequently asked questions

What does TeamRetro offer that GoRetro doesn't?
TeamRetro offers more than GoRetro's retro boards:

More meeting types: retrospectives, health checks, async or live standups, and planning poker estimations, all on one plan.

AI at every step: trAI, the in-meeting AI assistant, groups ideas, highlights themes, analyzes team sentiment, proposes actions and writes summaries you can edit and share.

Facilitator tools: guided steps you can turn on or off, timers, private brainstorming, anonymous voting, 20+ icebreakers and whiteboards.

Security: SOC 2 Type 2 and SOC 3 certified, GDPR compliant, SSO included, with hosting in the US or EU.

TeamRetro is also in continual development, with new releases every month, while GoRetro's last published changelog entry was in May 2023, with few visible improvements since.
Why do teams switch from GoRetro to TeamRetro?
Generally, teams switch for richer, more up-to-date features, advances in AI, and a meeting toolkit that better fits the way they work day to day. See how the team at Big Give made the move.
Who is GoRetro?
GoRetro is a Tel Aviv, Israel-based company, founded in 2020, that builds online retrospective and sprint-planning tools for Jira-centric workflows, with a clean interface for running retrospectives. Its changelog lists no AI features shipped, despite marketing describing the product as AI-powered. They also have capacity calculators, wild cards and planning poker features that may be useful for some teams.

TeamRetro was launched in 2018 by GroupMap, an Australian company founded in 2012, with hosting in the US and EU. It is a cloud-based tool for retrospectives, health checks, standups and estimations, and a compelling alternative to GoRetro. It offers a comprehensive suite of features including a wide array of retrospective templates, health checks with statistical information, async or live daily standups, planning poker estimations, AI-generated summaries, and trend insights to track team sentiment and progress over time. TeamRetro is also SOC 2 Type 2 and GDPR compliant.
Is GoRetro free?
No. GoRetro offers a 30-day free trial, then three paid plans:

Premium: $29 a month per team billed annually ($35 billed monthly).
Sprint Pro: $49 a month per team billed annually ($59 billed monthly), adding planning poker and the sprint capacity calculator.
Organization: custom pricing.

TeamRetro also offers a 30-day free trial with full access to all features. After that, the Standard plan starts at $25 a month for one team, or about $20.83 a month billed annually, with unlimited users. Plans scale by team, not by user count: 3 teams are $50 a month and 6 teams $75 a month, both billed annually.
Can I integrate my existing workflow to GoRetro?
GoRetro integrates with Jira Cloud, and Slack is available on its paid tiers.

TeamRetro integrates with 17 tools, including Jira, Azure DevOps, Microsoft Teams, Slack, Asana, Trello, Confluence, Linear and Notion. Its Jira integration works both ways: publish retro actions as Jira issues, and push agreed story points from estimations back to Jira. See the full list of integrations.
Is GoRetro secure and data-protected?
GoRetro's security page states that it is SOC 2 Type 2 certified, ISO-certified and GDPR compliant. It is hosted on Firebase, part of Google Cloud Platform, with data in US Central.

TeamRetro, its alternative, is also SOC 2 Type 2 certified and GDPR compliant, and can be hosted in either the US or the EU, which makes it well-suited for teams with strict IT or compliance requirements. Detailed information is on our security page.
Can I migrate my data from GoRetro to TeamRetro?
Yes, retrospective data can be migrated to TeamRetro, but there's nothing you have to migrate to get started. Begin your next retro from a ready-made template you can customize, invite the team by link, and carry any open actions forward so momentum isn't lost. Pricing is team-based, with unlimited members on every plan, so cost scales by team rather than per seat.
