RetroTool review
A focused web tool for structured retros, anonymous input, voting, and action tracking.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
RetroTool is web-based retrospective software for remote and hybrid teams. It combines reusable templates, private and public card sections, anonymous participation, dot voting, secret voting, action points, meeting timers, archives, and team management. Teams can invite participants through shared links, and anonymous retrospectives do not require a login. Its scope suits groups that want a focused way to run live retrospectives without a broader project-management system.
The plan structure is straightforward. The Anonymous plan includes unlimited cards, columns, action points, and participants, plus basic facilitation tools, Markdown export, and retrospective storage for up to 12 months. The Individual plan costs $10 per team per month when billed monthly and adds management for up to 3 teams, an infinite archive, configurable data retention, private invite-only retrospectives, and high priority support. The Company plan costs $20 per team per month and adds unlimited teams, team assignment to Scrum Masters and Team Leads, zero-knowledge encryption with custom passwords, and top priority support. Paid plans can also be selected yearly, while the displayed prices are monthly.
RetroTool’s strongest fit is teams that value repeatable facilitation and clear follow-through: templates organize sessions, voting helps prioritize input, and assigned action points connect discussion to ownership. The pricing is also team-based rather than per user, which can suit groups with many participants. Its focus is narrower than a full work-management or collaboration suite, and delivery is limited to the web. Teams needing broader platform coverage or capabilities beyond retrospective facilitation should consider an alternative. For teams primarily seeking simple, structured retros with anonymous feedback and practical action tracking, RetroTool is a focused option.
