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 If you are searching for Metro Retro, the product you want is Ludi; the original Metro Retro brand and domain are no longer maintained.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
Trune.io — pros
- + EU/Frankfurt data residency and GDPR-first posture
- + Free tier covers 5 full-featured sessions, no card required
- + Per-team (not per-seat) pricing keeps costs predictable
- + Agility Health Radar gives a basic longitudinal view
- + Native iOS/Android apps for hybrid retros
Trune.io — cons
- − No SSO, SCIM, SOC 2, or audit logs — not enterprise-ready
- − No AI features (clustering, summaries, action extraction, sentiment)
- − Integrations (Jira, Azure DevOps, Slack, Teams, Trello) run through Zapier, not native; integrations also require the higher Professional tier
- − Light on facilitation extras: no parking lot, agenda planner, async mode, or drag-and-drop grouping
- − Reporting is limited to per-team stats; no cross-team or org rollups
