7 EasyRetro alternatives for 2026, ranked honestly
EasyRetro — the tool many teams still search for under its old name, FunRetro — is one of the most established online retrospective boards, and most people looking for an alternative are not unhappy with the boards. They are unhappy with the quota: every tier, including the free one, meters how many public boards you can create per month, and the price steps up by tier as teams and boards grow. The second reason is facilitation — hidden writing, blind voting, and locked phases are not advertised — and the third is that retro notes keep dying in an export.
Below are seven alternatives, ranked by how well they fix those three problems for a typical team of five to fifteen. Every price was read from the vendor’s own pricing page in September 2026 (EasyRetro’s in July), and where a feature is not advertised we say so rather than guess. FocusRetro is our product and is listed first; the comparison table further down is the two-column head-to-head if that is what you came for.

6. Spreo (formerly Metro Retro)

Why teams switch to FocusRetro
One flat price instead of board math
EasyRetro’s tiers meter public boards per month — 5 on the entry paid tier — and step up as your organization adds teams. FocusRetro’s Team plan is $12/month flat with unlimited boards and unlimited members, so a retro in week two never competes with a quota.
Facilitation is the product, not a feature
Stage timers, locked phases, hidden writing, and blind voting are built into every FocusRetro board. The format assumes a real meeting with real group dynamics — the quiet person’s card carries the same weight as the loud one’s.
Action items that survive Monday
FocusRetro turns retro decisions into owned action items with due dates and status, surfaced again before the next session. Teams switch when they notice their retro notes keep dying in an export.
A calmer, quieter board
FocusRetro deliberately ships fewer features on one focused surface. If your team finds busy boards distracting mid-meeting, the difference is noticeable in the first session.
Where EasyRetro shines
An honest comparison cuts both ways. EasyRetro is a solid product, and it may be the better fit if these matter most to you:
- A very large template library (100+ pre-defined formats)
- Mature integrations: export cards and action items to Jira, Trello, and Confluence, plus Slack notifications
- Long track record — it has been around since the FunRetro days
- AI summaries and surveys on paid plans
Frequently asked questions
Is EasyRetro the same as FunRetro?+
Yes. FunRetro rebranded to EasyRetro; it is the same product and team. Many people still search for "fun retro" or "funretro" when looking for it.
Is FocusRetro cheaper than EasyRetro?+
For most growing teams, yes in practice: FocusRetro’s Team plan is a flat $12/month billed annually with unlimited boards and unlimited members, while EasyRetro’s paid tiers are metered by public boards per month and step up as you add teams. For a single small team on the entry tier, prices are comparable — the difference shows as you grow.
Does FocusRetro have a free plan like EasyRetro?+
Yes. FocusRetro’s Starter plan is free forever and includes 3 personal boards per month with core templates, voting and reactions, phase timers, and action items. EasyRetro’s free plan includes 3 public boards per month.
Can I migrate my retros from EasyRetro to FocusRetro?+
There is no one-click import, but past retro exports (CSV) can be kept for reference, and setting up your recurring format in FocusRetro takes a few minutes — pick a template, invite the team with a link, and guests join without accounts.
What is the best free EasyRetro alternative?+
It depends on what "free" needs to cover. FocusRetro’s Starter plan is free forever with 3 personal boards a month and every facilitation feature. Neatro’s free tier has no time limit but caps you at 10 members and 30 days of history. Parabol’s free plan covers 2 teams and 10 meetings a month. Retro Tool is free with no accounts at all, but offers little follow-through. None of them meter public boards the way EasyRetro does.
Which EasyRetro alternative has no board limit?+
FocusRetro’s Team plan has unlimited boards and unlimited members for a flat $12/month billed annually. Retrium, TeamRetro, and Neatro also allow unlimited retros on their paid plans, but price per team (Retrium at $39/month, TeamRetro from $20.83/month, Neatro from $23.20/month) rather than a single flat fee.
What does EasyRetro do better than FocusRetro?+
EasyRetro has a much larger template library and a broader integration list: FocusRetro ships Jira and Slack, while EasyRetro also exports to Trello and Confluence. If those two are central to your workflow today, EasyRetro may fit better; FocusRetro focuses on facilitation depth and follow-through instead.
