Which one is for you
Pick EasyRetro if
- Fits if you want a simple retro board at a flat team price
- Works for people who run only one retro a month
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you stay free: 1 public board a month and no teams
- Skip it if you need SAML SSO, which starts at Large Business, or an audit log, which is Enterprise only
- Watch out: limits are on boards and teams, so a busy company hits them fast
- Watch out: the page shows annual-billing rates, not monthly ones
Pick Miro if
- Fits if you run remote workshops, retrospectives and brainstorms with a whole team
- Works for product and engineering people mapping a process or a system together
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you're never paying, since only your 3 most recent boards stay editable and there are no guests
- Pricey if you need the technical diagram shapes, Jira sync or SSO, which start at $20 a member on Business
- Not for you if you lean on AI all day, as credits are metered monthly and don't roll over
- Watch out: on Free every board is open to the whole team, and Enterprise starts at 30 members
- Skip it if you're on Linux and want a desktop app, as none is listed

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
