Echometer vs ScatterSpoke

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.

ScatterSpoke helps teams collect feedback and decide what to improve through surveys, retrospectives and Ask. Its AI-assisted retrospectives produce summaries, takeaways and action items in a format teams can share. Teams can choose from a library of more than 20 classic retrospective formats or make custom ones. Asynchronous retrospectives automate feedback collection, and integrations with Jira, Slack and Microsoft Teams connect it with team workflows. In Microsoft Teams, users can create or pin retrospectives in a team space. ScatterSpoke says its AI is built and hosted in-house, and customer data is not shared with major AI providers or used to train other large language models. The free plan includes one seat, unlimited static surveys and responses, 10 one-time Agent Surveys, 50 one-time Ask credits, basic signal detection and MCP access. Pro costs $29 a month per seat for up to five seats; Business costs $149 a month and includes five seats. ScatterSpoke offers 45-day trials and can discuss custom trials through a 30-minute call.
