Frequently asked questions

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

What is Scru.ms and how does it work?

Scru.ms is a basic tool for running simple retrospectives and planning poker with minimal setup. It lets teams quickly gather anonymous feedback or estimates in a lightweight session.

TeamRetro offers all of Scru.ms’ basic capabilities plus structured features like health checks, facilitation support, action tracking, flexible anonymous or named feedback, dashboards, integrations, and analytics. This makes TeamRetro better suited to teams that want more insight, accountability, and process improvement over time. While scru.ms works for quick sessions, TeamRetro scales with your team’s growth and continuous improvement needs.

What hosting options does scru.ms offer?

Scru.ms offers an enterprise self hosted solution, allowing organizations to deploy the platform on their own infrastructure, including on premises and private cloud environments. This gives teams full control over their data and hosting setup, which may suit organizations with strict internal infrastructure requirements.

On the other hand, TeamRetro is a cloud-based solution with secure hosting available in both EU and US regions. It is SOC 2 Type II certified and GDPR compliant, providing strong security and regulatory assurance without the complexity of managing your own infrastructure. In addition to secure hosting, TeamRetro delivers a more comprehensive set of agile facilitation features, making it a scalable and fully managed option for growing teams.

What tools does Scru.ms integrate with?

Scru.ms currently doesn’t offer integrations with other tools on its free plan. The enterprise plan also doesn’t list any available integrations.

Does Scru.ms allow for anonymous feedback?

Yes, Scru.ms only displays anonymous feedback from team members which reduces ownership, limit meaningful follow up conversations, and make it harder to build trust over time.

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

How much does Scru.ms cost?

Scru.ms is free to use for its basic retrospective and planning poker sessions — there’s no subscription cost for the standard tool. If you need the Enterprise self-hosted option, pricing isn’t published publicly; you must contact scru.ms for a custom quote based on your deployment and support needs.

By contrast, TeamRetro offers transparent, team based pricing, starting at around US $25 per month for a single team, with higher tier plans for growing organizations and a custom Enterprise option for larger deployments. Pricing scales based on the number of teams and features needed, with discounts available for annual billing. TeamRetro also includes a 30-day free trial of the paid features giving teams more predictable cost options and compliance assurances compared with scru.ms’s free/basic model.
