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 If you are searching for Metro Retro, the product you want is Ludi; the original Metro Retro brand and domain are no longer maintained.

GoRetro — pros
- + Generous free tier with unlimited public boards and team members
- + Polished, real-time facilitation UX with strong template library
- + Bundles planning poker, capacity calculator and sprint monitor with retros
- + Tight Jira Cloud integration for sprint-data-driven discussions
- + SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001 and SAML SSO available on Organization tier
GoRetro — cons
- − Slack integration sits behind paid tiers; SAML SSO requires Organization tier
- − Integration breadth is narrow: no native MS Teams, Azure DevOps, GitHub, Linear, Confluence or Trello
- − AI story is thin: 'Joker cards' and meeting recap export rather than real AI clustering, summaries or sentiment
- − Async is just a multi-day feedback deadline, not a structured async flow; no whiteboard, no scheduling/recurring retros
- − Per-team pricing scales unevenly across many squads, and cross-team rollups are thin
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
