Metro Retro
3.0Rebranded twice — Metro Retro became Ludi, now Spreo; the playful retro whiteboard lives on
Metro Retro was a fun, freeform online whiteboard built for sprint retrospectives, known for its playful templates, timer and engagement features. The product has since been renamed twice by its maker, Deqo Software Limited: to Ludi on 4 August 2025, then to Spreo on 1 July 2026 after a trademark cease-and-desist. The metroretro.io domain now 301-redirects straight to spreo.io. If you are searching for Metro Retro, the product you want is Spreo; the original Metro Retro brand and domain are no longer maintained.

EasyRetro — pros
- + Fastest setup of any tool we run: pick a template, share a link, participants join with no account
- + AI now does real work on the board — card grouping with reviewable merge suggestions, a meeting summary, and board columns generated from a theme prompt
- + Survey engine got serious in June 2026: single-choice, multiple-choice and numeric-scale polls with Team Health Check, Team Safety, mood and meeting-value templates
- + Flat per-team pricing with unlimited members — $60/mo covers three teams of any size — and PNG/CSV export went free in July 2026
- + Plainly still shipping: five changelog entries in 2026, most recently organisation audit logs in July
EasyRetro — cons
- − The health surveys are one question on one board — no health model, no cadence, no trend line across sprints
- − Integrations are export-shaped: Jira, Confluence and Trello take cards out, Slack only announces new boards, and there's no GitHub, Linear, Azure DevOps or calendar
- − No public API, no webhooks and no MCP server — automation stops at the export button
- − Vendor holds no SOC 2 or ISO 27001 (it leans on Google Cloud's), data sits in US Central with no EU option, SAML SSO starts at $90/mo, audit logs at $150/mo, and SCIM doesn't exist
- − Free plan is now 1 public board per month and 1 board total on the dashboard (archived included), with AI features excluded
Metro Retro — pros
- + The product you remember still exists — it now ships as Spreo (Metro Retro → Ludi, 4 Aug 2025 → Spreo, 1 Jul 2026)
- + The vendor says accounts, boards, data and workflows carried through both renames, and old links redirect
- + Carried its playful templates, session timer and icebreakers into the rebrand
- + Freeform whiteboard canvas that's friendly for engagement-first retros
Metro Retro — cons
- − The Metro Retro brand and metroretro.io domain are retired — the domain 301-redirects straight to spreo.io
- − Two name changes in under a year (Metro Retro → Ludi → Spreo) leave stranded searchers chasing a moving target; bookmarks, runbooks and SSO configs all need updating
- − No standalone free tier under the new brand — a 30-day trial, then paid
- − Neither old domain is a clean redirect everywhere: metroretro.io/pricing and ludi.co/pricing both return HTTP 200 with a stale Spreo <em>Non-prod environment</em> stub instead of forwarding (checked 1 Sep 2026)
