RetroPlatform vs RetroStack

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.

RetroStack is a collaborative board app for agile retrospectives, brainstorming, planning, and group decision-making. Participants edit the same board live across phones, tablets, laptops, and desktops, using six ready-made formats or custom boards. Voting limits can be set per section to 1, 2, 3, 5, or 10 votes, or left unlimited. Users can join anonymously with the full feature set, and no account is required to start a board. AI analysis can provide team sentiment insights and key themes, and generate action items and meeting recaps. Boards can be shared through private links or exported as PDF or JSON. The free plan is free and lists web, iOS, Android, and Mac access without sign-up. RetroStack says data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and user content is not used to train AI models; requested analysis is processed through OpenAI. The service may limit board creation, notes per section, votes per session, and AI analysis requests per day. Email support has a stated response time within 24 hours.
