Estimioo
3.8Free planning poker, retrospectives and standups for Scrum teams
Estimioo is a lightweight, browser-based agile-ceremony tool that bundles AI-assisted planning poker, a template-driven sprint retrospective board and async daily standups into one shared workspace. The product's centre of gravity is estimation, but the retro module has grown since launch: the vendor now lists a library of retrospective formats (Start/Stop/Continue, Sailboat, Mad/Sad/Glad, 4Ls, Starfish, Sprint Timeline and more) rather than a single fixed board. It's still a reflection-and-summary tool, not a deep facilitation suite with dot voting, grouping and owned action items.

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you are searching for Metro Retro, the product you want is Ludi/Spreo; the original Metro Retro brand and domain are no longer maintained.

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
- − Retro board is reflection-and-summary only — no dot voting, grouping, anonymity, phase timer or action items with owners and carry-over, even with the expanded template library
- − Verified AI is estimation-focused; the advertised Claude retro summaries (mood, themes, action items) couldn't be verified hands-on
- − 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 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
