Questions
Does GoRetro have a free plan?
Its pricing page lists a 30-day trial and 3 paid plans. A team owner who does not upgrade keeps one team.
Is Retree really free?
Yes, and nothing is held back behind a plan. Tips and sponsors pay for the server.
Do my teammates need an account?
No. Anyone with the link types a display name and joins.
Can Retree do planning poker?
No. Retree runs the retrospective alone, so estimation and sprint metrics stay with GoRetro.
