Spreo
5.3Playful collaborative whiteboard for 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 100+ 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. Both the Jira integration and SSO require the $6/user Business plan, and AI stops at beta sticky-note clustering.

EasyRetro — pros
- + Extremely easy to use with minimal setup friction and a clean drag-and-drop board
- + Library of 100+ retrospective templates spanning multiple categories and languages
- + Clean export options including Confluence, Jira (now bulk), PDF, CSV, PNG, Excel and DOCX
- + Flat per-team pricing with unlimited members — $60/mo covers three teams of any size
- + Still actively maintained — hide-column and on-the-fly timer controls shipped in 2026, and the web app was rebuilt from AngularJS onto Vue mid-2026
EasyRetro — cons
- − No native health checks, mood tracking or longitudinal trend reporting
- − AI is limited to a single board-summary feature — no auto-grouping, AI action items, sentiment, or template generation
- − Integration set is narrow and mostly export-only — no GitHub, Linear or Azure DevOps; the Teams integration embeds boards as tabs rather than pushing action items
- − Vendor itself isn't SOC 2 / ISO 27001 certified (relies on GCP); data sits in US Central with no EU residency option, SAML SSO starts at the $90/mo tier, and there's no SCIM
- − Free plan allows 2 public boards per month, keeps only 2 boards on the dashboard (archived ones included), and excludes teams and team boards entirely
Spreo — pros
- + Genuinely delightful, illustrated UI that energises in-person and remote retros
- + Broad template library (100+) covering retros, icebreakers, planning poker, futurespectives, planning and estimation
- + Deep gadget shelf that actually serves the session: shared Jukebox music player, timers, spinners, buzzers, confetti, throwable hats
- + Fully configurable voting rounds — votes per person, duplicate votes, and voting on topics as well as individual stickies
- + Solid two-way Jira integration: backlog refinement, story points and issue creation in-board
- + @mentions and a notification centre across stickies, cards, text blocks and comments
- + EU-hosted (Amsterdam) and GDPR-aligned (SOC 2 / ISO 27001 sit at the Digital Ocean infrastructure layer, not Spreo)
Spreo — cons
- − No async retro mode, no recurring or scheduled retros
- − No team health check or longitudinal pulse product; mood/radar work via whiteboard templates only
- − Integrations limited to Jira — no Slack, Teams, Confluence, GitHub, Linear or Azure DevOps
- − <strong>Jira and SSO both start at the $6/user Business plan</strong>, so the $4 Starter headline is misleading past a single team space
- − AI limited to beta sticky-note clustering — no summaries, action-item extraction, sentiment or coaching
- − No ongoing free plan; expired trials pause to read-only
- − Desktop and laptop only — the vendor states Spreo runs on <em>"all desktop and laptop devices"</em>, with no mobile or tablet support
- − Two renames in under a year leave the review trail split across three names — G2 files it under <em>Ludi</em>, Capterra and Product Hunt under <em>Metro Retro</em>
