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 rebranded twice by its maker, Deqo Software Limited: to Ludi in August 2025, then to Spreo. The metroretro.io domain now 301-redirects all the way through to spreo.io. If you are searching for Metro Retro, the product you want is Ludi/Spreo; the original Metro Retro brand and domain are no longer maintained.

EasyRetro — pros
- + Extremely easy to use with minimal setup friction and a clean drag-and-drop board
- + Library of 100+ retrospective templates spanning multiple categories and languages
- + Free tier covers basic public boards for small teams or one-off retros
- + Clean export options including Confluence, Jira (now bulk), PDF, CSV, PNG, Excel and DOCX
- + Still actively maintained — drawing on cards, hide-column and on-the-fly timer controls shipped through 2026
EasyRetro — cons
- − No native health checks, mood tracking or longitudinal trend reporting
- − AI is limited to a single board-summary feature — no auto-grouping, AI action items, sentiment, or template generation
- − Integration set is narrow and mostly export-only — no GitHub, Linear or Azure DevOps; the Teams integration embeds boards as tabs rather than pushing action items
- − Vendor itself isn't SOC 2 / ISO 27001 certified (relies on GCP); SAML SSO is gated to enterprise accounts and there's no SCIM or audit logs
- − Free plan is now capped at 1 public board per month (down from 3), keeps only 1 board on the dashboard, and excludes team boards
Metro Retro — pros
- + The product you remember still exists — it's now called Spreo (renamed from Ludi on 1 July 2026)
- + Carried its playful templates, timer, GIFs 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 now redirects through to spreo.io)
- − Two brand changes in under a year (Metro Retro → Ludi → Spreo) can leave stranded searchers chasing a moving target
- − No standalone free tier under the new brand — it's a 30-day trial then paid
- − Not a dedicated retro platform — it's a general whiteboard you adapt for retros
