TeamRetro: The Miro alternative that leads to real improvement

Teams switch because they want a focused tool for running meetings, not a generic whiteboard. TeamRetro has the basic whiteboard features too, but its goal is helping teams run fun, efficient and effective meetings from start to end.

Less setup: pick a ready-made template instead of rebuilding a board, copying sticky notes and corralling votes.

Easier facilitation: guided steps take your team from private brainstorming through grouping and voting to agreed actions.

Shorter meetings: built-in structure and timers keep discussions focused.

Lower licensing costs: priced per team, not per member, so costs don't grow with every person you invite.

History you can track: follow key themes, team happiness and sentiment, and see actions and blockers through to completion.

No, because there is nothing to migrate. TeamRetro comes with prebuilt templates, guided steps and an in-app AI assistant, so you can focus on the conversation, not the tool. Start your next retro from a template, invite the team with a link, and carry open actions forward from sprint to sprint.

When your team meetings are a recurring ritual you want structured, measured and actioned. Open-ended visual collaboration is a whiteboard's job; TeamRetro is built for the meetings your team runs every sprint, and remembers what happened last time:

Retrospectives: actions are captured and carried forward from one retro to the next.

Health checks: create surveys your team responds to, and track changes over time.

Standups: remember what each person said previously and link in with your work tools.

Estimations: estimate privately, with no manual adding up.

Icebreakers: a wide range of games and activities to get people talking.

Insights: see meeting cadence, topics and team sentiment, with recommended improvements.

Miro is an online collaborative whiteboard for visualizing ideas, concepts and workflows, where teams add sticky notes to one shared board at the same time. TeamRetro is a purpose-built alternative for agile retrospectives, health checks, daily standups and estimations, with built-in icebreakers to warm up any meeting: structured, guided retros with automated grouping, health-check models, async or live standups, planning poker, scheduled retros and SOC 2 Type 2 security, plus tracking of team sentiment, action items and agile metrics over time.

Free: $0, basic boards with limits.
Starter: $8 per member per month. Adds timer, voting and private mode.

Example: one team of 10 people, billed annually
Miro Starter: 10 × $8 × 12 = $960 a year (Business: $2,400 a year).
TeamRetro Standard: $250 a year, the same price however many members join.

No, Miro is not open source.

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.

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.
