Frequently Asked Questions

Explore common questions about TeamRetro and how it compares to Parabol. From retro features to team health checks, here’s what you need to know.

What is Parabol, and what kind of meetings is it for?

Parabol is designed for agile meetings like retrospectives, sprint poker (estimation), stand-ups, and check-ins. It’s useful for teams that want to structure their agile ceremonies.

TeamRetro, the alternative to Parabol, is 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 also has built in ice breakers, pulse checks and uses AI to improve productivity and insight for action planning and exploring hot topics and team sentiment.

It features an intuitive interface that enables retrospectives to run smoothly and integrates seamlessly with a wide range of workflow tools. TeamRetro is also SOC 2 Type 2 and GDPR compliant.

How easy is it to run a meeting in Parabol?

Parabol guides users through meeting phases like reflecting, grouping, voting, and discussion, depending on your meeting type.

TeamRetro also uses guided facilitation steps with the added capability of customising steps, presentation mode, and provides suggestions for grouping, actions, and instant summaries.
It has an intuitive interface and built-in mechanics to help promote psychological safety.

What tools does Parabol integrate with?

Parabol works with Jira, GitHub, Slack, and Azure DevOps.

TeamRetro offers deep integrations with Jira, Trello, Confluence, MS Teams, and more.

Does Parabol allow for anonymous feedback?

Yes, Parabol lets team members submit reflections and vote anonymously, which helps encourage open feedback.

TeamRetro allows for anonymous, named, and alias feedback, allowing flexibility and trust building for both emerging and mature agile teams.

How much does Parabol cost?

Parabol offers a free plan for up to 2 teams, but it comes with key limitations like access to only the last 2 meetings and restricted integrations. As your team grows, costs can become unpredictable due to its $8 per active user/month pricing.

In contrast, TeamRetro charges per team, not per user, allowing you to add an unlimited number of users at no extra cost. With flat-rate pricing and full access to all features—including unlimited meeting history, integrations, AI summaries, and team health tools—TeamRetro offers a clearer, more scalable solution that’s easier to manage as your team expands.

Can I migrate my data from Parabol to TeamRetro?

Yes, retrospective data can be migrated to TeamRetro.
