IdeaBoardz
3.1Tableros de lluvia de ideas compartidos y gratuitos
IdeaBoardz es un tablero gratuito de larga trayectoria dedicado a la lluvia de ideas y a las retrospectivas: elija una de las cinco plantillas predefinidas («Retrospectiva», «Estrella de mar», «Los seis sombreros para pensar», «Pros y contras» y «Tareas pendientes») o asigne usted mismo nombres a sus secciones del 1 al 10, comparta la URL, añada ideas de forma anónima, vote a favor y exporte el contenido a PDF o Excel. La aplicación sigue funcionando y se sigue utilizando a diario, pero su desarrollo se detuvo hace años: las últimas modificaciones de funcionalidades en el repositorio de código abierto datan de abril de 2020 y las Condiciones de uso no se han revisado desde entonces.

Spreo
5.9Pizarra colaborativa y lúdica para equipos ágiles
Spreo (formerly Metro Retro, then Ludi — renamed Spreo on 1 July 2026 after a US trademark cease-and-desist) is a visual agile collaboration whiteboard with 150+ templates spanning retros, planning poker, icebreakers and futurespectives. Its illustrated canvas and board gadgets — a shared Jukebox music player, timers, spinners, buzzers, confetti, throwable hats — make ceremonies feel engaging. Since late October 2026 it is priced by role: $13 a month for each Editor who runs sessions, $3 for regular team members and nothing for visitors on open boards, with Jira, Linear, SSO, PDF export and a beta MCP server all on the one Team plan. In-product AI still stops at beta sticky-note clustering.
Full review →Summary
IdeaBoardz scores 3.1 overall and is best for retrospectivas sin compromiso y sesiones de lluvia de ideas rápidas y distribuidas cuando nadie quiere apuntarse. It offers a free tier.
Spreo scores 5.9 overall and is best for agile teams who want retros, planning and workshops to feel visual and fun on a Jira or Linear backlog, with a few paid facilitators and everyone else on cheap Collaborator seats or free visitor links — and who would get real value from driving boards with an AI assistant over MCP. It offers paid plans from $13/Editor/mo billed annually ($16 monthly); Collaborators $3/user/mo ($4), visitors free.
IdeaBoardz es líder en valor. Spreo es líder en facilidad de uso, kit de herramientas retro, factor de diversión, IA y análisis de datos, integraciones, plataforma abierta y de nivel empresarial.
En nuestras ocho dimensiones de evaluación, Spreo se sitúa a la cabeza con una puntuación global de 5.9. No obstante, la elección más adecuada dependerá de su equipo; consulte a continuación el desglose por dimensiones.

IdeaBoardz — pros
- + Totalmente gratuito: sin muro de pago, sin plan de pago ni límite de tiempo de prueba
- + No es necesario registrarse para participar; solo tiene que compartir la URL
- + Cinco plantillas predeterminadas con un solo clic («Retrospectiva», «Estrella de mar», «Los seis sombreros para pensar», «Pros y contras» y «Todos»), o bien introduzca sus propios títulos de sección del 1 al 10
- + Arrastre una nota adhesiva sobre otra para fusionarlas; los votos se suman
- + Exportación a PDF y Excel en todos los paneles, además de una vista optimizada para móviles
IdeaBoardz — cons
- − Las plantillas solo rellenan previamente los títulos de las columnas; no incluyen ningún temporizador, ni fases, ni guion para el moderador.
- − No hay seguimiento de tareas pendientes, ni responsables, ni fechas límite, ni traspaso de tareas entre tableros
- − Votos positivos anónimos ilimitados, sin límite de votos por persona
- − Sin integraciones, sin SSO, sin certificación SOC 2 y sin política de privacidad publicada: la URL es el único control de acceso
- − No se ha trabajado en el producto desde abril de 2020; el servicio de asistencia consiste en una dirección de Gmail y un nombre de usuario de Twitter
Spreo — pros
- + Genuinely delightful, illustrated UI with a gadget shelf built for live sessions: a shared Jukebox, timers, spinners, buzzers and a Voter panel, plus confetti and throwable hats
- + Broad template library (150+) covering retros, icebreakers, planning poker, futurespectives, planning and estimation
- + Hide Identities and Private Writing make writing <em>and</em> voting anonymous, with fully configurable voting rounds
- + Actions carry owners and due dates, with daily and weekly reminder emails on by default and a cross-board Action Items dashboard
- + Role-based Team plan keeps big teams cheap ($3 Collaborators, free visitors on open boards) and includes two-way Jira, Linear cards, SSO, PDF export and the beta MCP server
Spreo — cons
- − No async retro mode, no recurring or scheduled retros, and no health-check product; mood and radar work happen on whiteboard templates only
- − Integrations stop at Jira and Linear — no Slack, Teams, Confluence or GitHub; Azure DevOps is on the pricing page but was still <em>"coming soon"</em> in the October 2026 release notes
- − In-product AI limited to beta sticky-note clustering — no summaries, action-item extraction, sentiment or coaching; MCP moves the AI into your own assistant rather than the board
- − Every facilitator needs a $13/month Editor seat, and the free Lite board holds three people and lives in one browser
- − Desktop and laptop only, and no SOC 2 or ISO 27001 of its own: the certifications on its security page are DigitalOcean's
