Estimioo
4.1Free planning poker, retrospectives and standups for Scrum teams
Estimioo is a lightweight, browser-based agile-ceremony tool that bundles AI-assisted planning poker, a basic sprint retrospective board and async daily standups into one shared workspace. The product's centre of gravity is estimation; retrospectives are a real but thin module — a single <strong>went well / didn't go well / improve</strong> reflection board with session summaries, not a deep retro toolkit.

Metro Retro
3.1Now 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 If you are searching for Metro Retro, the product you want is Ludi; the original Metro Retro brand and domain are no longer maintained.

Estimioo — pros
- + Genuinely cheap — flat $7/workspace/mo Team plan (not per-seat) and a usable free tier
- + Fast, no-friction planning poker with multiple scales and hidden-until-reveal voting
- + AI story-point suggestions and estimation-accuracy tracking, powered by Claude with zero data retention
- + Guests join without signup via link or QR code — low overhead for distributed teams
- + Three ceremonies (poker, retro, standup) in one shared workspace
Estimioo — cons
- − Retrospectives are a single fixed went-well/didn't/improve board — no template library, dot voting, grouping, anonymity, timer or action items with owners
- − AI is aimed at estimation, not retros — no theme clustering, sentiment or retro summaries
- − No Slack/Teams, Confluence, GitHub, Linear or Azure DevOps integrations; Jira is a paste-URL preview for poker only
- − No SSO, SOC 2, audit logs or published data-residency — not built for enterprise procurement
- − Free sessions expire after 1 hour and cap at 5/month; no recurring retros or persistent retro history
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
