Spreo
5.9Speels whiteboard voor samenwerking binnen agile teams
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.

TeamRetro
8.8Retrospectieven, gezondheidscontroles, schattingen en stand-ups in één pakket
TeamRetro combineert gestructureerde retrospectieven met doorlopende teamgezondheidscontroles en Planning Poker-schattingen, bedoeld voor agile organisaties die meerdere teams onder leiding van een coach of binnen een programma aansturen. Een AI-assistent die tijdens vergaderingen kan worden ingezet (trAI, nog in de bètafase) en een GA MCP-server zijn bij elk betaald abonnement inbegrepen.
Full review →Summary
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.
TeamRetro scores 8.8 overall and is best for agile-coaches en engineeringmanagers die naast sprintretrospectieven ook doorlopende programma’s voor het controleren van de projectstatus uitvoeren. It offers paid plans from $20.83/team/mo billed annually ($25/mo billed monthly) — Standard plan, 1 team, unlimited members.
TeamRetro neemt de leiding op het gebied van gebruiksgemak, retro-toolkit, waarde, plezierfactor, AI en inzichten, integraties, open platform en op bedrijfsniveau.
Over onze acht beoordelingscriteria heen komt TeamRetro als beste uit de bus met een totaalcijfer van 8.8. Dat gezegd hebbende, hangt de juiste keuze af van uw team — zie hieronder de uitsplitsing per criterium.

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
TeamRetro — pros
- + Gezondheidscontroles en volwassenheidsmodellen als een volwaardige module — aangepaste dimensies, radargrafieken, trends over verschillende sprints heen
- + Retrospectieven, gezondheidscontroles en schattingen met planning poker in één abonnement
- + SAML SSO, RBAC en hosting in de VS of de EU bij <EM>elk</EM> abonnement, niet alleen bij het Enterprise-abonnement
- + GA MCP-server, API-sleutels op teamniveau en met HMAC ondertekende webhooks bij alle abonnementen; 15 native agile Stack-integraties plus Zapier en n8n
- + <EM>trAI</EM> assistent voor tijdens vergaderingen (bèta) bij proef- en betaalde abonnementen, plus 18 ijsbrekerspelletjes voor tijdens vergaderingen op elk account
TeamRetro — cons
- − No free tier — 30-day trial, then a paid plan
- − SCIM, IP allowlisting, domain capture, guest/observer roles and the SOC 2 Type 2 report need the Business plan, at 40% more per team; Standard gets the SOC 3 report
- − Cross-team insights, reports and programs (team-of-teams) also need Business, and audit logs are on request rather than self-serve
- − ISO 27001 is inherited from AWS, and hosting is US or EU only — no APAC region despite the Australian HQ
