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you are searching for Metro Retro, the product you want is Ludi/Spreo; the original Metro Retro brand and domain are no longer maintained.

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
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 Pro Unlimited tier
Reetro — cons
- − Free plan capped at 3 teams, 9 members, 10 active boards per team and 4 columns, with anonymity now paid-only
- − Pro Unlimited's own marketing is self-contradictory — the FAQ calls it a flat org-wide $49/mo while the plan card says per-team with a 180-member cap
- − 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, presentation mode, native mobile app, or GitHub/Linear integrations
