Estimioo
4.6AI-powered planning poker, retrospectives and standups for agile teams
Estimioo is a lightweight, browser-based agile-ceremony tool that bundles AI-assisted planning poker, a 41-template sprint retrospective board and async daily standups into one shared workspace. The centre of gravity is still estimation, but the retro module is now a real one: one-click templates, a 2–25 minute session timer, per-card thumbs-up voting, synced icebreakers, ambient audio, and a Claude-powered summary that returns team mood, key themes and ranked action items. What it is not is a facilitation suite — retro cards are attributed rather than anonymous, and there is no grouping, no dot-vote budget and no action-item owners or carry-over between sprints.

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.
Full review →Summary
Estimioo scores 4.6 overall and is best for small, distributed agile teams who want fast AI-assisted planning poker and async standups at near-zero cost, plus a genuinely usable 41-template retro board — and who don't need anonymity, grouping, or action-item follow-through across sprints. It offers a free tier.
Spreo scores 5.3 overall and is best for agile teams who want retros, planning and workshops to feel visual and fun, with a solid Jira-backed delivery loop — budget for the Business plan, which is where Jira and SSO actually live. It offers paid plans from $4/user/mo billed annually ($5 monthly).
Estimioo leads on value and AI & insights. Spreo leads on ease of use, retro toolkit, fun factor, integrations, open platform and enterprise-grade.
Across our eight scoring dimensions, Spreo edges ahead with an overall score of 5.3. That said, the right pick depends on your team — see the dimension-by-dimension breakdown below.

Estimioo — pros
- + Genuinely cheap — flat <strong>$7/workspace/mo</strong> with unlimited participants, plus a usable free tier
- + 41 one-click retro templates, a 2–25 minute session timer and per-card upvoting — all verified in a live board
- + Unusually fun for the price: 340+ synced icebreakers, six ambient soundscapes and 16 live emoji reactions
- + One-click Claude retro summary returns team mood, key themes and ranked action items with <em>Add all to board</em>
- + Jira connects by OAuth or API token with JQL backlog import; guests join by link or QR with no signup
Estimioo — cons
- − Retro cards are <strong>attributed</strong> — author name and avatar on every note, with no anonymity option anywhere in the product
- − No grouping or clustering, no dot-vote budget, no action-item owners or due dates, and no carry-over between retros
- − Slack and Teams are clipboard-copy buttons rather than integrations; Jira write-back is still on the roadmap, and there's no API, webhooks or MCP
- − No SOC 2, ISO 27001, DPA or data-residency option, and the privacy policy was last updated April 2025 — the quote-only Enterprise tier's SSO claim is unverified
- − No independent coverage (no G2, Capterra or Product Hunt listing), and the site's own social proof contradicts itself — <em>450+ teams</em>, <em>183 agile teams</em> and <em>3000+ teams</em> all appear
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>
