Echometer vs RetroPlatform

Echometer combines team retrospectives, team health checks, and one-to-one meetings in browser-based software for agile leadership. Its retrospective tool includes more than 50 templates, a shared board, private brainstorming, dot voting, surveys, whiteboards, and action tracking. Jira integration lets teams track retrospective action items in Jira boards. Dashboards show health trends and activity, including health checks across teams. The 1:1 tool supports agenda and notes management and connects with Microsoft calendar. Echometer works in modern browsers on Windows, Linux, and Mac computers and tablets, but it is cloud-only; customer-hosted on-premise deployment is not offered. The free Starter plan allows one team to run one retrospective per month after the trial, with an archive of two retrospectives per team. Its free 1:1 version allows unlimited meetings with up to two employees. Pro costs €29 per team/month with an annual term, or €35 with a monthly term. Echometer says it uses TLS encryption and hosts exclusively at Deutsche Telekom in Germany.

RetroPlatform is a web-based retrospective platform for agile teams. It gathers feedback, uses voting to identify discussion priorities, and carries commitments into later retrospectives. Changes appear instantly for participants without a refresh, and anonymous feedback is optional. Teams can use Mad-Sad-Glad or Start-Stop-Continue templates, or create custom columns. After voting, the AI analyzes top-voted feedback and generates prioritized action recommendations; this is included with Pro. Teams can track commitments between sessions and export results to Word with feedback, votes, and AI-generated action items. The Free plan costs nothing and allows one session per month, up to five participants, and three votes per user. It includes Word export, real-time collaboration, and anonymous mode, but no AI action items. Pro costs $12 a year when billed Billed $144 yearly, or $15 a month when billed per month. Both Pro options include unlimited sessions, participants, and votes, all templates, AI-generated action items, and priority support. Setup is stated to take under 30 seconds.
