What flat pricing costs at your team size
Most retrospective tools charge per seat. That is a fine model for software one person uses, and a poor one for a meeting the whole team attends: every new hire raises the bill, and someone eventually starts deciding who is worth a license. Here is the same team on both models — a flat $12/month against a typical $4-per-seat plan.
| Team size | FocusRetro Team | Typical per-seat tool | You keep |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 people | $144/year | $240/year | $96 |
| 10 people | $144/year | $480/year | $336 |
| 25 people | $144/year | $1,200/year | $1,056 |
| 50 people | $144/year | $2,400/year | $2,256 |
FocusRetro Team at $12/month billed annually, against a $4-per-seat plan billed for every participant. The per-seat rate is a typical one in this category, used here for the arithmetic — for what specific tools charge today, see the EasyRetro comparison and the Metro Retro (now Spreo) comparison.
The other model worth watching for is board quotas — tiers metered by how many boards you create in a month. It looks cheap until a busy quarter, when a post-mortem competes with the sprint retro for the same allowance. The Team plan has no board limit.
How billing works
The free plan does not expire
Starter is free forever — 3 personal boards a month, with the core templates, voting, phase timers, and action items. It is not a trial that turns your boards read-only after 30 days.
Paid plans start with a 14-day trial
No credit card is required to start it. If you do nothing when it ends, you are not charged.
Annual saves 20%
$12/month billed annually is $144 charged once a year. Monthly billing is $15/month with no commitment, and the two plans are otherwise identical.
A lapsed subscription pauses, it does not delete
If a paid subscription lapses, paid features are paused and workspace boards become read-only until billing resumes. Your retro history and open action items stay where they are.
What you are paying for
Per-seat retro tools charge for every participant - a 10-person team runs about $40/month on some competitors. The FocusRetro Team plan is one flat rate with unlimited members: add 5 people or 50, the price never moves. See the honest comparisons with EasyRetro and Metro Retro.
Every plan, including the free one, gives you the parts that make a retrospective honest: private writing, anonymous cards, blind voting that reveals results only once everyone has voted, phase timers, and action items with owners and due dates that resurface before the next session. Paid plans add the shared workspace, unlimited boards, and the access controls a team needs once retros are a standing ritual — private and restricted boards, and board passwords.
Pricing questions
How much does FocusRetro cost?+
The Starter plan is free forever and includes 3 personal boards per month. The Team plan is $12 per month billed annually ($144 once a year), or $15 per month billed monthly, and covers your whole team — unlimited boards and unlimited workspace members at that one price. Business is custom annual pricing for organizations that need 5 workspaces and admin controls.
Is FocusRetro priced per user?+
No. The Team plan is one flat price for the entire workspace, with unlimited members. Adding your fifth teammate and your fiftieth both cost nothing extra, which is the point: a retrospective is a whole-team ritual, and per-seat pricing turns every invitation into a purchasing decision.
Is there a free plan?+
Yes, and it does not expire. The Starter plan gives you 3 personal boards per month with the core retro templates, voting and reactions, phase timers, and action items — enough to run a retro every sprint for a month and decide whether the habit sticks before paying anything.
Do you need a credit card to start?+
No. The Starter plan needs no card at all, and the 14-day trial on paid plans starts without one either. You only enter payment details if you decide to keep a paid plan after the trial.
What is the difference between monthly and annual billing?+
Annual billing is $12 per month, charged once a year as $144. Monthly billing is $15 per month with no commitment. The plans are otherwise identical — annual is simply a 20% discount for paying up front.
What happens if a paid subscription lapses?+
Nothing is deleted. Paid features are paused and the workspace boards become read-only until billing resumes, so your retro history and action items stay intact and readable while you sort out billing.
Do guests count toward the price?+
No, and neither do members. Guests join a board from a link without creating an account, and workspace members are unlimited on paid plans — there is no seat count anywhere in the pricing.
