Run Smarter, Better Retrospectives and Health Checks That Make a Difference

Retrium is an online tool that can be used for conducting agile team workshops aka retrospectives online. It is primarily used by virtual or remote teams, who often work (according to the Scrum Framework) in sprints and prefer to use varying retro templates at the end of their iteration.

TeamRetro, a powerful alternative to Retrium, is a cloud-based platform purpose-built for retrospectives and team health checks. It not only supports a wide variety of retrospective templates but also includes built-in team health assessments, AI-generated summaries, and trend insights that help you track team sentiment and progress over time.

With its intuitive interface, moderator controls, and seamless integration with tools like Jira, Trello, MS Teams, and Slack, TeamRetro makes it easy for teams to run effective, insightful retros and continuously improve.

Retrium does not offer a free plan for ongoing use. You can test Retrium for 30 days free of charge. After that you have to pay for the Retrium tool based on the number of teams (team rooms). Prices start from $39USD per team per month or $715USD per team per year.

Meanwhile, TeamRetro, is also free for 30 days. There are no limits on the number of teams and you have access to all features. Pricing for a single team is $25USD  per month or $600USD for 3 teams per year without compromising on features or user experience. TeamRetro also has volume based pricing options.

To cancel your subscription you will have to deactivate your team by logging into your account and navigate to their “danger zone”. A separate request has to be made to delete your account.

Switching is easy. TeamRetro is designed to be intuitive and user-friendly, making the transition seamless for teams familiar with Retrium. You don’t need to install anything, and TeamRetro offers a wide range of retrospective templates (many overlapping with Retrium’s), so your workflow doesn’t have to change.
