3D Coat is great for working on retopology. Some people say Topogun is better, and it it probably is if you're interested in retaining subdivision levels and high resolution detail for the optimized mesh. The retoplogy, UV mapping, sculpting and 3d paint features of 3d Coat provide for a wider range of capabilities for a fairly inexpensive program.
