EasyRetro
6.2Improve your team with fun sprint retrospectives
EasyRetro (rebranded from FunRetro in November 2020) is a long-running indie retro tool built around a fast drag-and-drop board and a 300-plus template library. 2026 added working AI — card grouping, meeting summaries with a sentiment gauge and board-column generation from a theme prompt — plus richer surveys with team templates and trend charts, an open-action-items panel on team boards, free PNG/CSV export and organisation audit logs.

Spreo
5.7Playful 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. An official MCP server (beta) and a signed-in HTTP API landed during 2026, but Jira, SSO and PDF export all require the $6/user Business plan, and in-product AI stops at beta sticky-note clustering.
Full review →Summary
EasyRetro scores 6.2 overall and is best for small to mid-size agile teams, scrum masters and consultants who want a clean, fast, low-friction retro tool without enterprise overhead. It offers a free tier.
Spreo scores 5.7 overall and is best for agile teams who want retros, planning and workshops to feel visual and fun on a Jira backlog, and who would get real value from driving boards with an AI assistant over MCP — budget for the Business plan, which is where Jira, SSO and PDF export actually live. It offers paid plans from $4/user/mo billed annually ($5 monthly).
EasyRetro leads on ease of use, retro toolkit, value, AI & insights and integrations. Spreo leads on fun factor and open platform.
Across our eight scoring dimensions, EasyRetro edges ahead with an overall score of 6.2. That said, the right pick depends on your team — see the dimension-by-dimension breakdown below.

EasyRetro — pros
- + Fastest setup of any tool we run: pick a template, share a link, participants join with no account
- + AI now does real work on the board — card grouping with reviewable merge suggestions, a meeting summary with an AI-estimated sentiment gauge, and board columns generated from a theme prompt
- + Surveys became a light pulse-check loop in 2026: numeric-scale and multiple-choice polls, team survey templates that auto-attach to every new board, and trend charts on the Analytics page
- + Flat per-team pricing with unlimited members — $60/mo covers three teams of any size — and PNG/CSV export went free in July 2026
- + Plainly still shipping: nine changelog entries in 2026, including an open-action-items panel that carries unfinished actions into the team's next board
EasyRetro — cons
- − Health checking is survey-shaped — a trend chart per survey, but no multi-dimension health model, radar or org-wide health view
- − Integrations are export-shaped: Jira, Confluence and Trello take cards out, Slack only announces new boards, and there's no GitHub, Linear, Azure DevOps or calendar
- − The API is one paid-only create-board endpoint; there are no webhooks, no read or export API and no MCP server
- − Vendor holds no SOC 2 or ISO 27001 (it leans on Google Cloud's), data sits in US Central with no EU option, SAML SSO starts at $90/mo, audit logs at $150/mo, and SCIM doesn't exist
- − Free plan is now 1 public board per month and 1 board total on the dashboard (archived included), with AI features excluded
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
- + Gadget shelf built for live sessions: a shared Jukebox music player, timers, spinners, buzzers and a voter panel, with confetti and throwable hats on top
- + Official MCP server (beta) lets Claude, ChatGPT or Copilot read, build and edit boards under your own permissions, with an account-level kill switch and a connected-members list for admins
- + 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
- + Hide Identities host control makes writing <em>and</em> voting permanently anonymous, toggleable per activity
- + 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, SSO and PDF export all start at the $6/user Business plan</strong>, so the $4 Starter headline is misleading past a single team space
- − 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
- − The HTTP API has no public reference — you need a Spreo login to see what it does, which makes it hard to evaluate before buying
- − 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>
