TeamRetro is a capable Neatro alternative for agile retrospectives and team health checks. Where Neatro has no presentation mode, AI summaries or SOC 2 certification, TeamRetro adds scheduled retros, AI grouping and summaries, presentation mode and SOC 2 Type 2 security.
Teams usually start looking past Neatro when the ritual outgrows a single guided flow. Neatro runs each retro by hand and stops there. There is no AI to group similar cards or draft a summary, no way to schedule a recurring cadence so the next session sets itself up, and no native Slack or Microsoft Teams integration, so reminders and links sit outside the channels your team already works in. Its security also rests on the underlying cloud rather than an independent SOC 2 or GDPR attestation, which tends to stall things once IT or procurement gets involved.
Moving across is light. There is nothing to migrate: you start your next retro in TeamRetro from one of 275+ templates, invite the team by link, and carry any open actions forward so nothing gets dropped between sessions. Pricing is a flat $25 a month for a single team, with no per-seat fees. And where Neatro’s security rests on the underlying cloud, TeamRetro carries its own independent SOC 2 Type 2 and GDPR attestation, the evidence IT and procurement ask for.
TeamRetro is not for every team. There is no free-forever plan, and if a single squad runs a retro now and then with nobody asking about SOC 2 Type 2 or SSO, you would be paying for scale and assurance you do not need. It fits when retrospectives are a recurring ritual you want structured, measured and actioned across teams, with the scheduling, AI and reporting to keep it going.

Frequently asked questions
What is Neatro?
Neatro is an online retrospective and health check tool created in Canada. It offers a fun and lighthearted user interface that focuses on illustrations. It has a simple and basic set of customizable templates to allow you to run a meeting. TeamRetro, the alternative to Neatro, is also a cloud-based retrospective tool that offers a wide array of retrospective templates and health checks (along with statistical information) and insights into trends and patterns over time. It has an easy-to-use interface that allows retrospectives to run smoothly and integrates with a wide range of workflow tools. TeamRetro is also SOC 2 Type 2 and GDPR compliant.
What is Neatroverse?
Neatroverse is the community-driven gallery of retrospective templates with different themes, topic headers, and questions designed to make agile retrospectives more interesting and engaging. It showcases a creative mix of formats contributed by users, including themed retrospectives (like Star Wars, Sailboat, and Weather Report). TeamRetro also has a community section built into the app allowing you to create templates from a widely sourced range of industry-used and customer-tested retrospective formats. Additionally, you can also get AI-generated retrospective and health check templates based on a theme or problem you are trying to address. You will get topic suggestions that you can customize further to your needs. Finally, there are also specialized templates for key meeting activities, milestones and events such as project kick-off and SWOT planning that you can use in TeamRetro.
How do TeamRetro and Neatro differ in their retrospective and team health features?
Neatro offers 30+ retrospective templates (its pricing page says 70+) plus the Neatroverse community library, along with simple team health radars and icebreaker games. They offer a fun and real time retrospective experience for users and online teams. TeamRetro goes further in terms of the ability to customize your retrospective, with well thought out features that make it easier for facilitators to lead discussion and increase engagement. With features that allow you to sync screens, park items, propose actions and link actions to ideas to give your retrospectives more meaning. TeamRetro allows you to conduct Team Health Checks easily along with trend data, insights and heat maps to allow you to easily identify themes across teams. Additionally, they have incorporated AI Features to improve time and productivity with suggested grouping, templates creation, action suggestion, meeting summaries and team sentiment analysis.
How do both platforms handle action items?
Both Neatro and TeamRetro allow you to create SMART action items and track them on a board. However, TeamRetro adds ownership, due dates, automated reminders, and richer reporting on completed vs. pending actions, plus direct integration to tools like Jira, Asana, Trello, MS Teams, and Slack. TeamRetro also allows people to propose actions and to get feedback on actions before you commit them to your backlog making it easier to get buy in from the team, and hence follow through.
Is Neatro free?
Neatro offers a free plan for 1 team, up to 10 team members and limited facilitation features, with history kept for 30 days, then moves to per-team pricing tiers. Paid plans start at $29 USD per team per month (billed monthly). There are no integrations or exports on the free plan. Meanwhile, Neatro's alternative – TeamRetro, is also free for 30 days, with pricing that starts at $25 USD per team per month, regardless of the number of participants, and includes additional volume-based discounts. See the TeamRetro plans page for pricing information.
Is it safe to use Neatro?
Neatro has no SOC 2 report and no GDPR attestation of its own; its security rests on the underlying Microsoft Azure cloud. They store all information behind firewalls on their secure servers. Any payment transactions and all the information that passes between the Neatro application, the server and the database is encrypted with SSL technology. The safety and security of your information also depends on you. Alternatively, TeamRetro is SOC 2 Type 2 and GDPR compliant and can be hosted in either the US or the EU. This makes TeamRetro well-suited for teams with strict IT or compliance requirements. Detailed information can be found on the TeamRetro security page.
What integrations are available?
Neatro integrates with tools like Jira, GitHub, Asana, Monday, and Azure DevOps to export action items. TeamRetro supports an even broader set of integrations, including Jira, Asana, Trello, MS Teams, Slack, Confluence, and custom webhooks or API connections to fit into your team's workflow.
Can I migrate from Neatro to TeamRetro?
Yes, retrospective data can be migrated to TeamRetro.
What TeamRetro users say
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.
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.
It is intuitive, easy to use, and helps the team tremendously to perform a constructive retrospective. Also, the health check fully meets our requirements.
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.
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.
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👍
TeamRetro helped our teams effectively manage retrospective meetings, even in a remote setup, saving time and increasing productivity.
With the step-by-step framework TeamRetro provides, it enables small teams to hold regular retrospectives with alternating team members in the facilitating role.
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.
