TeamRetro

Overview

TeamRetro targets the enterprise segment of the retro tool market, and it backs that positioning with real substance. Over 26,000 teams use it worldwide. It's one of the few agile tools with SOC 2 Type 2 certification, which makes it a viable option for organizations in finance, healthcare, and government. If your procurement team needs security compliance documentation before approving a SaaS tool, TeamRetro is built to clear that bar.

The tool has also expanded beyond pure retros. In mid-2025, they launched a free standalone planning poker tool, and by February 2026 they shipped full estimation meetings inside the main product. Still no standups, but the scope is wider than it used to be.

The other big differentiator is organizational intelligence. Most retro tools stop at the team level. TeamRetro gives engineering directors and VPs of product cross-team analytics that surface patterns across the whole org. Which themes keep coming up across multiple teams? Which action items are getting stuck? How are health metrics trending over time? That visibility turns retros from isolated team rituals into something leadership can actually learn from.

Key Features

AI-Powered Grouping and Summarization

TeamRetro's AI clusters related feedback items automatically during a retro. The grouping is semantic, not keyword-based, so it handles paraphrased feedback well. After the session, the AI generates a summary with themes and recommended action items. Quality is comparable to what Kollabe and Parabol offer. For facilitators managing multiple teams, it's a real time-saver.

Cross-Team Analytics

This is the feature that sets TeamRetro apart. The analytics dashboard aggregates retro data across all teams in an org and surfaces recurring themes, action item completion rates, and team health trends. For a head of engineering overseeing 8-10 teams, this replaces manually reading through dozens of retro summaries. You can filter by team, time period, or theme.

No other tool in our rankings does this out of the box.

Team Health Checks

This is a proper standalone feature, not just a retro add-on. TeamRetro ships four pre-built health check models — the standard Team Health Check, the Spotify-inspired Squad Health Check, Team Health Radar, and Remote Team Happiness — plus 15 maturity model templates added in January 2026. You can also build fully custom models with your own dimensions and rating scales.

Each team member anonymously rates their perception across health dimensions, and results track over time with radar charts and trend lines. You can run health checks standalone or as a warm-up before a retro. The longitudinal view is where this gets genuinely useful. Spot a dip in "communication" or "fun" across three consecutive checks and you have an early warning signal before it turns into a retention problem.

Integration Ecosystem

With 15 supported integrations, TeamRetro has the widest connectivity in our rankings. Jira, Azure DevOps, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Confluence, Trello, Asana, monday.com, GitHub, GitLab, Shortcut, Basecamp, ClickUp, Linear, and Notion. Enterprise plans also get API access for custom connections. All integrations are export-oriented — you push action items and summaries out to these tools. There's no import path for pulling sprint data or tickets into a retro, which is a gap if you want context from your backlog on screen during the session.

The Jira integration is the deepest of the bunch. As of December 2025, it supports two-way sync for action item titles and completion status, not just one-way export.

Planning Poker

A newer addition. TeamRetro launched a free standalone planning poker tool in August 2025, and followed up with full "Estimation Meetings" inside the main product in February 2026. Six voting decks are available: Scrum, Fibonacci, Sequential, Half Card, Power of Two, and T-shirt sizes. The flow follows standard planning poker conventions — private estimation, simultaneous reveal, discuss outliers, re-vote if needed.

It works, but it's clearly early. Kollabe and Parabol have had poker for years and offer deeper features like async voting, Jira ticket import directly into sessions, and automatic estimate sync back to your backlog. TeamRetro's poker is functional for basic estimation. If poker is a primary use case for your team, test it before committing.

Compliance and Security

SOC 2 Type 2 certification means TeamRetro passed an independent audit of its security controls over a sustained period. This isn't a self-assessment — it's a rigorous third-party evaluation by Assurance Lab covering Security, Confidentiality, and Privacy. The platform supports SSO/SAML on all paid plans (not gated behind Enterprise, which is rare), role-based access controls, encryption at rest and in transit, and US or EU data residency. Enterprise plans add SCIM provisioning and IP whitelisting.

For organizations where IT security review is a prerequisite for tool adoption, these certifications cut weeks off the procurement cycle.

Pricing

No free plan. You get a 30-day trial with full features, no credit card required.

Single Team ($25/month) covers one team of up to 25 members. Unlimited retros, health checks, AI grouping, all integrations, and — notably — SSO/SAML. Most competitors lock SSO behind their Enterprise tier. TeamRetro includes it on every paid plan.

Small Organization ($60/month) bumps you to 3 teams with unlimited members per team. Same feature set.

Large Organization ($90/month) gives you 6 teams with unlimited members. Need more? Additional teams cost $15/month each.

Enterprise (custom pricing) adds cross-team insights, guest invitations, observer roles, API access, SCIM provisioning, IP whitelisting, and priority support.

The per-team model is worth understanding. A team of 5 pays the same as a team of 25. That part is good. But an org running 10 squads is looking at roughly $150/month on the Large Organization plan. Kollabe covers that same org for $29/month flat. Whether the gap makes sense depends on your requirements. If you need SOC 2 and cross-team analytics, the price is justified. If those are nice-to-haves, flat-rate tools win on economics.

Ease of Use

The interface is professional and organized, though it has more depth than simpler tools like EasyRetro. Setting up a retro is straightforward: choose a template, configure anonymity and voting, share the link. Facilitation guides you through phases with clear controls. AI grouping can run automatically or be refined by hand, and the results are generally accurate.

Complexity shows up in the admin and analytics areas. Configuring cross-team analytics, setting up health check dimensions, managing integrations across multiple teams. All of that takes investment upfront. These are powerful capabilities, but they mean the tool has a higher ceiling and a steeper ramp for the person setting it up.

Day-to-day, facilitators and participants will find it clean and intuitive. The admin who configures it for the org should plan on spending some real time up front.

Who Is It Best For?

TeamRetro is built for mid-market and enterprise orgs where compliance, security, and cross-team visibility are non-negotiable. If your company operates in a regulated industry and procurement requires security questionnaires and SOC 2 audit documentation, TeamRetro is one of the few retro tools that will pass without workarounds. The cross-team analytics make it especially useful for engineering leaders managing multiple teams who need aggregated insight into organizational health.

It's less suited for small teams, startups, or budget-constrained organizations. No free plan means you can't use it long-term without paying. And while the per-team model is fair for a single squad, costs stack up once you have multiple teams.

If you don't need SOC 2 or cross-team analytics, you'll get better value from Kollabe for all-in-one ceremonies or EasyRetro for focused retros. TeamRetro now covers retros, health checks, and planning poker — but it still lacks standups, so teams running daily check-ins will need a separate tool regardless.

The Verdict

TeamRetro fills an important niche: the enterprise buyer who can't compromise on security, compliance, and organizational visibility. SOC 2 Type 2 certification, 15 integrations, and cross-team analytics are features that genuinely matter for larger organizations. AI grouping saves facilitators real time, health checks go deeper than any competitor, and the recent addition of planning poker means you're no longer limited to just retros.

The trade-offs: no free plan, per-team pricing that adds up at scale, and still no standup feature. Teams that need daily async check-ins will supplement TeamRetro with something else. Platforms like Kollabe and Parabol bundle standups in, and both cost less for most team sizes. For enterprise buyers in regulated industries, the premium is worth it. For everyone else, more versatile and cheaper options exist. See our Kollabe vs TeamRetro guide for a detailed side-by-side.
