Retrium report card
Fair · out of 4.0 · graded Nov 13, 2026
Best for guided agile retrospectives
Retrium walks a team through a retro step by step: private brainstorming, grouping, voting and action items. It costs $39 a month per team room, with a 30-day trial and nothing free after, and the only task tracker it links to is Jira Cloud.
Who Retrium is for
- Fits if you're a scrum master running regular sprint retros
- Works for remote teams that follow up actions in Jira
Who Retrium is not for
- Pricey if you run many teams, as each team room costs separately
- Skip it if you want a free plan, because there's only a 30-day trial
- Watch out: the Business card shows $715 a year per room while the table shows $59 a month
- Watch out: the Slack app is labelled beta and Jira Cloud is the only tracker listed
Why Retrium gets a 2.2
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for money$39 a month per team room, about $8 a head for a team of five, which is the category's middle. Business is $59 per room.
- CFree plan and trialA 30-day trial of the retrospective formats, and the page doesn't say a card is needed to start. Nothing free after it.
- CFeaturesGuided steps, anonymous input, many formats, action plans and room history. It does the retro job fully, but it's a smaller job, and pricing is per room.
- CEase of useNo store rating on record. You set up team rooms and invite people before the first retro.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb only, but it connects to Jira Cloud and Slack, which is in beta.

Keep Retrium, or make your own?
Your call
A whiteboard at its plainest is boxes and arrows on a canvas.
You could make the core of Retrium for yourself: templates and tasks. What you would give up is listed below. Whether that is worth the price is your call. It costs $468 a year.
What you could make
- Templates and tasks: an app builder makes these well.
- It runs in a browser, which is where something home-made would run too.
What you could not
- Several people working in it at the same moment.
What this rests on. Retrium’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
What is Retrium?
Retrium is a web app for running agile retrospectives. It walks a team through a guided process of private brainstorming, grouping, voting and action items, and ships with a library of retrospective formats such as Start, Stop, Continue and Mad Sad Glad. Teams are organized into team rooms that keep past retros together.
Worth knowing
- Pricing is per team room, so a company running many teams pays for each room separately.
- There is no free plan; access beyond the 30-day trial needs a paid Team plan.
- The Business card shows $715 per team room per year while the comparison table shows $59 per month; confirm with the vendor.
- The Slack app is labeled beta and the only task-tracker integration listed is Jira Cloud.
Key features
- Guided facilitation
- The app moves a team through gathering feedback, grouping it into themes, voting and deciding what to do, so everyone follows the same stage together.
- Retrospective formats
- A library of formats including Start, Stop, Continue, What Went Well, Mad Sad Glad and Lean Coffee, plus the option to create your own format.
- Private, anonymous input
- Team members brainstorm privately first, and comments are anonymous, which the vendor presents as a way to encourage open feedback.
- Action plans
- Action items come out of each retrospective and can be tracked, with a Jira Cloud connection to assign users and due dates in Jira.
- Team rooms and history
- Each team has a room that stores its retrospective history, with private rooms available for teams that want to keep discussions to themselves.
