Data driven insights

Boost team performance and support ongoing improvement with meaningful insights.

TeamRetro is a purpose-built Miro alternative for agile retrospectives and team health checks. Instead of a general whiteboard, it gives you structured, guided retros with automated grouping, health-check models, scheduled retros and SOC 2 Type 2 security.

Teams usually switch when the whiteboard becomes the work: every Miro retrospective starts with rebuilding a board, copying sticky notes and corralling votes. Dot voting needs at least the Starter plan, and per-member pricing grows with every participant. TeamRetro flips that. Pick one of 275+ retrospective templates and guided facilitation walks the team from private brainstorming through grouping, independent voting and agreed actions. No setup, no lasso tool.

Moving is light 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 Miro’s per-member pricing, and you keep SOC 2 Type 2 and GDPR compliance when you switch.

TeamRetro is a purpose-built retrospective tool, not a canvas, and there is no free-forever plan to fall back on. If open-ended visual collaboration is the main job and retros happen occasionally, this is the wrong shape of purchase for you. It earns its keep when retrospectives are a recurring ritual you want structured, measured and actioned.

Frequently asked questions

What is Miro?
Miro is an online collaborative whiteboard platform that allows teams to work together and visualize ideas, concepts, and workflows. It provides a huge number of features that allow people to collaboratively ideate, add ideas and sticky notes onto a single digital whiteboard at the same time. On the other hand, TeamRetro is an enterprise-ready tool specifically built for agile retrospectives and health checks that improves meeting value, safety, and actionable outcomes. It provides insights for improvement and has an easy-to-use and reliable interface that allows retrospectives to run smoothly. Beyond simple brainstorming, TeamRetro also captures data such as team sentiment, action item tracking, team health as well as other common agile metrics. The best thing about TeamRetro is that it is simple for people to use.
What are Miro's Pricing plans?
Miro offers both free and paid plans. The free plan provides basic functionality with some limitations compared to the paid plans. A Starter plan is $8 per member per month billed annually ($10 billed monthly) and includes facilitation tools like a timer, voting and private mode. To access private and secure workspaces, collaborate outside of the team, and access advanced shapes, you'll need the business plan, which is $20 per member per month billed annually ($25 billed monthly). Additional features such as license management, 2FA, enterprise grade security and or other features are quoted for enterprise plans. Meanwhile, Miro's alternative – TeamRetro starts at $25 per month ($250 billed yearly) for a single team of up to 25 members, with multi-team plans that include unlimited members and additional teams from $15 per team per month. Enterprise grade security applies at all level plans and moving to an enterprise plan also provides insights into team sentiment, key agile metrics and overall team health tracked over a period of time.
Is Miro open source?
No, Miro is not open source.
Can I vote on ideas in Miro?
Dot voting on ideas is available from the Starter plan up; it is not available on the Free plan. Alternatively, voting functionality as well as its flexible settings are a standard feature of all TeamRetro's plans, including its free trial.
How do I create a retrospective in Miro - Is Miro a Retrospective tool?
Miro is predominantly a fully featured online whiteboard tool which means it can also be used for running a retrospective. To do so you have to create a new board and either build or choose a template from Miroverse where there are over 7,000 templates you can choose from. Once a board is created, there will be sticky notes under each heading category that people can type their ideas into. People can move ideas around and add comments to a sticky note. To add more ideas, copy and paste a new sticky note into the relevant section to allow new ideas to be added. You can also change idea colors to match a topic. If you want to group ideas into themes, you can drag and drop common ideas into the same area, then use the select or Lasso tool to create a new group to match the group. If you are on at least the Starter plan, you can then enable votes which allow users to then add votes to ideas which you can then use for discussion. TeamRetro does not have a whiteboarding feature. Instead it allows users to simply type in their ideas into a retrospective very quickly under topic headers. You can also make this process anonymous. People can comment and react on ideas easily. Automated grouping means that ideas can be clustered quickly into common themes. Independent dot voting is then used to focus the discussion onto key areas which are automatically ordered, and available in presentation mode. This syncs everyone's devices onto the same idea. Actions can then be captured against ideas and integrated with your workflow tool. Overall, the learning curve of TeamRetro is very low because of its facilitated and designed workflow.
Is Miro safe to use?
Miro is generally considered safe to use. The platform takes security and privacy measures to protect user data and ensure a secure collaborative environment. Miro is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant and takes measures to adhere to GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) requirements. 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 about TeamRetro's security and GDPR statement.
Who created Miro?
Miro was founded by Andrey Khusid and Oleg Shardin in 2011 and is co-headquartered in San Francisco and Amsterdam. TeamRetro on the other hand, is created by GroupMap Technology Pty Ltd whose key focus is on collaboration and group decision making software application platforms.
