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 If you are searching for Metro Retro, the product you want is Ludi; the original Metro Retro brand and domain are no longer maintained.

Sprintlio
2.9Retrospectives with accountability via Slack and Jira
Sprintlio is a retrospective tool built around <strong>action follow-through</strong>, with Slack and Jira flows so action items don't die in a board after the meeting ends. Development appears to have largely stalled — the homepage still carries a 2023 copyright, there is no public changelog, and the last Product Hunt launch was February 2019.

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
Sprintlio — pros
- + Action items sync to Jira and Slack — follow-through is the product's actual reason for being
- + Slack-native flows: run recaps, reminders and notifications from the channel
- + Simple, focused retro workflow without the all-in-one bloat
Sprintlio — cons
- − Vendor site shows few signs of recent development — copyright still reads 2023 and the last public launch was 2019
- − Almost no AI, no health checks, no cross-team reporting — feature surface is thin by 2026 standards
- − No published pricing page, no documented SSO/SCIM/SOC 2 — enterprise readiness is unclear at best
- − Integration surface is narrow: Jira and Slack only, no Teams, Azure DevOps, GitHub, Linear or Confluence
