Retrium Alternative
Retrium Alternative: All Three Scrum Ceremonies in One Tool
Retrium charges $29+ per team for retrospectives alone. ScrumTool gives you retros, planning poker, and async standups — with AI built in — starting free.
What Retrium does well
Retrium is a polished, purpose-built retrospective tool with thoughtful facilitation workflows, a variety of formats, and a clean interface. Teams that run regular retros will find it well-designed and reliable. It has been around long enough to have earned genuine trust.
Where teams hit limits
- cancelRetro-only — no planning poker or async standup, so teams still pay for additional tools to run their full sprint cycle
- cancelExpensive — $29 per team per month for a single ceremony type is hard to justify when alternatives include more for less
- cancelNo AI summaries — themes, sentiment, and action items require manual facilitation and documentation after every session
