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 Stormboard if
- Fits if your workshops need to end in a written report people can edit
- Works for sprint planning in Jira, Rally or Azure DevOps with changes synced back
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you're staying free, with 5 open Storms of 5 users and view-only Office and Google files
- Skip it if you want the AI on a regular plan, as StormAI on Business is a 30-day trial before an Enterprise upgrade
- Not for you if you want a desktop app on a Mac, because only a Windows one is listed
- Watch out: the 30-day trial needs a card and covers monthly plans only, and annual plans aren't refundable
- Too light for work on a phone, as the vendor calls its phone app a companion with limited features

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.
