INSIDE RETRO
From everyone’s perspective
to a shared next step.
Write independently, group related ideas and choose what to discuss. Capture an owner and due date for agreed actions, then publish selected work to Linear when you are ready.
Invited participants can join as guests. Private reflection hides writing until reveal; shared notes retain their authors’ names.

BEFORE YOU CHOOSE
A few practical questions.
Can I import a Retrium board?
Retro does not currently import competitor boards. Keep your existing history in Retrium or export it there, then start a fresh Retro board for your next meeting. You can download Retro outcomes as PDF or JSON.
How should we compare the cost?
Compare your team size, meeting frequency and required features against each tool’s current plan. Retro’s pricing page explains its workspace allowance and participant limits. Check Retrium’s plans on its official website.
How was this comparison put together?
Bit Zesty, the team behind Retro, compared Retro’s implemented features with the official pages linked below. The recommendations are our assessment of fit, not a hands-on competitor benchmark. An unlisted feature should not be read as unavailable.
