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 <strong>Ludi</strong> in August 2025, then to <strong>Spreo</strong>. 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If you are searching for Metro Retro, the product you want is Ludi/Spreo; the original Metro Retro brand and domain are no longer maintained.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
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
