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. - **Value for money: C.** $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. - **Free plan and trial: C.** A 30-day trial of the retrospective formats, and the page doesn't say a card is needed to start. Nothing free after it. - **Features: C.** Guided 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. - **Ease of use: C.** No store rating on record. You set up team rooms and invite people before the first retro. - **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web only, but it connects to Jira Cloud and Slack, which is in beta.
