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 If you are searching for Metro Retro, the product you want is Ludi; the original Metro Retro brand and domain are no longer maintained.

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
Reetro — pros
- + Generous free tier with no credit card required — 3 teams, 9 members covers a 24-person org
- + Flat-rate Pro Unlimited at $49/mo covers the whole org — strong value if you outgrow per-team pricing
- + AI summaries, sentiment analysis, AI card grouping and monthly reports included on paid
- + Customizable team health checks, polls and a happiness index
- + ISO 27001 certified at the vendor level, plus audit logs and a public trust center; on-premises available on the Business tier
Reetro — cons
- − Free plan capped at 3 teams, 9 members, 10 boards/month and 4 columns, with anonymity now paid-only
- − Per-team Pro pricing rose to $39/team/mo ($32 annual); the cheapest path for scale is the flat Pro Unlimited
- − Voting is essentially thumbs up/down — no vote-on-ideas-in-groups
- − No published Reetro-level SOC 2 Type 2 audit (compliance rests on SOC 2-certified infrastructure)
- − No public changelog or release notes — hard to verify what's shipped recently from the outside
- − No planning poker, whiteboard, presentation mode, native mobile app, or GitHub/Linear integrations
