Metro Retro

3.1

Now rebranded as Ludi — the playful retro whiteboard lives on under a new name

Metro Retro was a fun, freeform online whiteboard built for sprint retrospectives, known for its playful templates, timer and engagement features. In 2024 the product was rebranded: metroretro.io now redirects to ludi.co, and the maker (Deqo Software Limited) positions Ludi as the continuation — 'Metro Retro is now Ludi.' If you are searching for Metro Retro, the product you want is Ludi; the original Metro Retro brand and domain are no longer maintained.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 — timer refresh, drawing on cards and hide-column shipped through 2025-2026

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 capped at 3 public boards per month and excludes private team boards

Metro Retro — pros

  • + The product you remember still exists — it's now called Ludi
  • + 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 to ludi.co)
  • No standalone free tier under the new brand — Ludi is a 30-day trial then paid
  • Light on the agile stack: no Jira/Slack/Teams integrations, no SSO, no SOC 2, no AI
  • Not a dedicated retro platform — it's a general whiteboard you adapt for retros
