Compare · AgileHero vs TeamRetro

TeamRetro alternative for agile teamsRetros where the work lives.

TeamRetro is a specialist: retrospectives, health checks, and estimation sessions, priced per team and built to publish action items out to your tracker. AgileHero builds the retro and the health check into the delivery suite itself — the board, backlog, roadmap, and metrics share one product, and last retro's open actions open the next one.

TeamRetro prices and features from teamretro.com, captured July 29, 2026. The flat per-team price covers up to 25 members — at 25 people in one team it stays $25/mo while AgileHero Pro would be $219/mo. TeamRetro's price buys the meeting layer alone; the tracker beside it is a separate bill. Tiers compared: AgileHero Pro vs TeamRetro Single Team.

The short answer

TeamRetro's product is three areas — Retrospectives, Health Checks, and Estimations (teamretro.com, captured July 29, 2026). It is a meeting layer that runs beside a tracker: its integrations publish action items outward to tools like Jira and Trello, and its estimation sessions sync story points back into external trackers. AgileHero starts from the other end. Retrospectives and team health checks are a module inside the delivery suite — the same product as the kanban board, backlog, epics, roadmap, whiteboards, wiki, and delivery metrics — and last retro's open actions are reviewed at the start of the next retro.

The price comparison is honest in both directions. At five people, TeamRetro costs less: a flat $25 a month per team (up to 25 members; $20.83 a month billed yearly, captured July 29, 2026) against $39 a month for AgileHero Pro — but the $39 buys the entire suite, retrospectives included. At 25 people in one team, TeamRetro still costs $25 a month while AgileHero Pro would be $219. If retros and health checks are the whole shopping list, TeamRetro is the cheaper specialist; if the shopping list is the delivery loop, one AgileHero bill covers it.

AgileHero vs TeamRetro, feature by feature

Tiers compared: AgileHero Pro vs TeamRetro Single Team ($25/mo billed monthly; $20.83/mo billed at $250/yr). TeamRetro's published plans table lists the same feature set for every non-Enterprise tier — Enterprise adds governance and cross-team scope, not different modules — so the entry tier is the closest like-for-like. Every TeamRetro fact below comes from TeamRetro's own published pages, captured July 29, 2026.

Where AgileHero is the better fit

The retro lives where the work lives

The retro is a module in the same product as your board, backlog, roadmap, and metrics: one login, one bill, no second tool to keep in sync. The next retro opens by reviewing last retro's open actions, so follow-up is part of the ritual — and any action can become a card on the board when the team decides so.

The rest of the delivery loop

Kanban board, backlog, epics, a drag-and-drop roadmap, infinite whiteboards that turn stickies into cards and frames into epics, a built-in wiki, and delivery metrics — none of which appear on the pages we track (checked July 29, 2026).

Delivery metrics, not meeting analytics

Velocity and cumulative-flow charts build themselves from real board movement, and three attention lists — overdue, blocking, stuck — turn them into a to-do queue. TeamRetro's published analytics measure meetings and team health — sentiment, themes, radar charts, trends (captured July 29, 2026).

One agent across the whole product

Both products ship an MCP server — TeamRetro's is real and included on all its paid plans (captured July 29, 2026). Ours simply has more product to drive: 49 tools spanning boards, whiteboards, retros, the roadmap, the wiki, and metrics — 500 calls/day on Free, 5,000 on Pro, always bounded by your own permissions.

Where TeamRetro is the better fit

Health-check history and custom models

TeamRetro's health checks track trends over time and ship agile maturity templates alongside the Spotify squad model — on all plans (captured July 29, 2026). AgileHero's health checks compare a check with the previous one of the same model and offer three built-in models; there is no multi-check timeline and no custom model yet, and this page will not pretend otherwise.

Per-team pricing that wins at scale

One Single Team plan is a flat $25/mo for up to 25 members ($20.83/mo billed yearly, captured July 29, 2026). At 25 people in one team that is $25 against $219 on AgileHero Pro. For one large team buying the meeting layer, TeamRetro is clearly the cheaper line — just remember it is one line of the total: the tracker it runs beside has its own bill.

A deeper retrospective toolkit

200+ ready-made templates, anonymity options and private voting, guided step-by-step facilitation, AI grouping and instant meeting summaries, icebreakers and team kudos (captured July 29, 2026). Ours is narrower by design: 16 templates, guided stages, anonymous notes, blind voting, and notes grouped automatically — but no icebreakers, no AI-written summaries, and no template editor yet.

Actions and estimates that flow into your existing tracker

TeamRetro publishes action items outward as issues in tools like Jira and Trello, and its estimation sessions import items from Jira, Azure, GitHub, or Linear and sync estimates back to Jira, Linear, and GitHub (captured July 29, 2026). AgileHero keeps actions on a project-wide Actions list that the next retro reviews first; an action becomes a board card only when someone chooses to create one. Its estimation poker estimates cards inside AgileHero without writing story points into other tools.

Enterprise posture from the entry tier

Single sign-on (SSO/SAML), a choice of US or EU hosting, GDPR compliance with a DPA, and a SOC 3 report are listed on all TeamRetro plans (captured July 29, 2026) — unusual for an entry tier among the tools we compare, and worth naming.

TeamRetro pricing at a glance (July 2026)

As captured from teamretro.com on July 29, 2026: Single Team is $25 per month billed monthly, or $20.83 per month billed at $250 per year — one team, up to 25 team members. Small Organization is $60 per month ($50 billed at $600/year) for three teams with unlimited members, plus $20 per month per extra team. Large Organization starts from $90 per month (from $75 billed at $900/year) for six or more teams, plus $15 per month per extra team. Enterprise is unpriced — "Get in touch". All four tiers state unlimited retros, estimations, health checks and maturity models; no free plan is published, and the trial is 30 days with no credit card. The page displays yearly prices by default — the monthly figures above come from the pricing page's own embedded pricing data.

The honest comparison cuts both ways. At five people, TeamRetro costs less: $25 a month for retrospectives, health checks and estimation sessions, against $39 a month for AgileHero Pro — but the $39 buys the whole suite, retrospectives included, with the board, backlog, roadmap, whiteboards, wiki and delivery metrics on the same bill. At 25 people in a single team, the same TeamRetro plan is still $25 a month while AgileHero Pro would be $219 — per-team pricing clearly wins on price for one large team. Yearly AgileHero billing is roughly two months cheaper, every Pro module has a 14-day trial without a card, and if you ever cancel, your data stays — premium modules are paywalled on downgrade, never erased.

A retro tool, or the retro inside the loop?

TeamRetro describes itself as "a secure agile retrospective and health check tool" (teamretro.com, captured July 29, 2026), and its product nav offers exactly three areas: Retrospectives, Health Checks, and Estimations. It is built to run beside a tracker — the dominant integration pattern on its published pages is publishing outward, actions becoming Jira issues or Trello cards, and its estimation sessions sync story points back to Jira, Linear, and GitHub. Nothing on the pages we track offers a board, a backlog, a roadmap, a wiki, or a whiteboard (checked July 29, 2026).

AgileHero starts from the other end: the board, backlog, epics, roadmap, whiteboards, wiki and delivery metrics are one product, and the retrospective is a module inside it — 16 templates, eight guided stages on a shared timer, anonymous notes, blind voting, last retro's open actions reviewed first, and team health checks on the Spotify squad model. The honest trade: TeamRetro's retro layer is still deeper — 200+ templates, icebreakers, AI summaries — and its health checks chart trends over many checks where ours compares with the previous one. Ours is the choice when the retro should live where the work lives.

Leaving TeamRetro — a short checklist

TeamRetro's published FAQ is straightforward about lapsing: if you choose not to subscribe after the trial, "your actions and retrospectives will no longer be accessible, although we retain them for a limited period" (teamretro.com/plans/, captured July 29, 2026). Its published minimum subscription term is one month. Check your renewal date before it rolls over, and export what you need first: TeamRetro's published export formats are Excel, CSV, PDF, Markdown, and Email.

Starting on AgileHero takes minutes: a working workspace, project, and board exist the moment you sign up. There is no one-click TeamRetro import today — we would rather say that plainly than surprise you. Recreate the action items you still care about as cards, or connect an AI assistant over MCP and let it create and organize them for you. Two seats are free forever, and the 14-day Pro trial — which covers retrospectives — needs no credit card.

Common questions

Is AgileHero a good TeamRetro alternative?

It depends on what you are buying. TeamRetro is a specialist meeting layer — retrospectives, health checks, and estimation sessions that run beside your tracker and publish action items outward; its integrations page lists 15 tools, from Jira to Trello (captured July 29, 2026). AgileHero is the tracker and the retro in one product: a guided retro room and team health checks live in the same app as the kanban board, backlog, and roadmap, and last retro's open actions open the next one. If you want a meeting layer that runs beside a tracker you are keeping, TeamRetro is a strong choice. If you want the whole delivery loop on one bill, that is our case.

How much does AgileHero cost compared to TeamRetro?

For five people, TeamRetro is cheaper: one Single Team plan is a flat $25 per month covering up to 25 team members ($20.83 per month billed at $250/year), as captured from teamretro.com on July 29, 2026. AgileHero Pro is $39 per month for the same five people — $12 base plus $9 for each seat beyond the two free ones — and covers the entire suite: board, backlog, epics, roadmap, whiteboards, wiki, delivery metrics, retrospectives, and health checks. The math flips with size: a 25-person single team still pays TeamRetro $25 per month, while AgileHero Pro would be $219. Per-team pricing wins on pure price for one large team; per-seat pricing buys the whole product for a small one. One more line belongs in the total, though: TeamRetro runs beside a tracker, so the project management tool underneath it is a second subscription on top of the $25 — AgileHero's $39 already includes the tracker, the board, and the retro. Tiers compared: AgileHero Pro vs TeamRetro Single Team.

Does AgileHero have health checks?

Yes. Pick the Spotify squad health check (11 dimensions), a team safety check, or the Scrum values; everyone rates 1–5 on their own time, with an optional comment; results stay hidden until the check closes, then the team gets a radar, the mean, spread and distribution per dimension, the two weakest areas, and the trend against the previous check. It is part of Pro, in the same module as retrospectives. TeamRetro's published pages describe radar charts, trend tracking over time, agile maturity templates, and a named Spotify squad model, on all plans (captured July 29, 2026). Two honest gaps on our side: AgileHero compares a check with the previous one rather than charting many over time, and ships three built-in models with no custom models or maturity templates yet.

Do both TeamRetro and AgileHero have an MCP server?

Yes. TeamRetro's MCP page states the server is included on all paid plans, connects over OAuth 2.1 with a browser sign-in, and lets an assistant work retrospectives, health checks, estimation sessions, actions, and working agreements (captured July 29, 2026). AgileHero's MCP server is on every plan including Free — 49 tools spanning boards, epics, whiteboards, retrospectives, the roadmap, the wiki, and delivery metrics, with 500 agent calls per user per day on Free workspaces and 5,000 on Pro. The difference is not access — both products grant it — it is how much product there is to drive.

Can I import my TeamRetro data into AgileHero?

There is no one-click TeamRetro import today — honestly. TeamRetro's published pages list Excel, CSV, PDF, Markdown, and Email exports (captured July 29, 2026), so take copies of the retros and action items you want to keep while your plan is active. Recreating open action items as cards takes minutes — or connect an AI assistant over MCP and let it create and organize the cards for you.

Is there a free plan?

AgileHero's free plan is two seats, free forever — boards, backlog, rich cards, estimation poker, real-time sync, and MCP agent access with 500 calls per user per day are all included. Retrospectives and health checks are part of Pro, and every Pro module has a 14-day trial with no credit card. TeamRetro's pricing page publishes no free plan — it offers a 30-day free trial with no credit card, and its cheapest published tier is $20.83 per month billed at $250 per year (captured July 29, 2026).

How this comparison was made

Tiers compared: AgileHero Pro ($12/month base + $9/month per seat beyond the first two) vs TeamRetro Single Team ($25/month billed monthly, or $20.83/month billed at $250/year — flat per team, up to 25 members). TeamRetro's published plans table lists the same feature set for every non-Enterprise tier, so the entry tier is the closest like-for-like. Every TeamRetro claim on this page comes from TeamRetro's own published pages, captured July 29, 2026 — nothing is inferred from reviews, rankings, or usage data; monthly prices are read from the pricing page's own embedded pricing data, as the page displays yearly prices by default. AgileHero claims describe the shipped product.
