4.6

AI-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.

3.0

Rebranded twice — Metro Retro became Ludi, now Spreo; the playful retro whiteboard lives on

Metro Retro was a fun, freeform online whiteboard built for sprint retrospectives, known for its playful templates, timer and engagement features. The product has since been renamed twice by its maker, Deqo Software Limited: to Ludi on 4 August 2025, then to Spreo on 1 July 2026 after a trademark cease-and-desist. The metroretro.io domain now 301-redirects straight to spreo.io. If you are searching for Metro Retro, the product you want is Spreo; the original Metro Retro brand and domain are no longer maintained.

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.

Metro Retro scores 3.0 overall and is best for searchers who remember Metro Retro and need to know where it went — the product now ships as <strong>Spreo</strong>. Go there, or to a dedicated retro platform, instead. It offers custom pricing.

Estimioo leads on ease of use, retro toolkit, value, AI & insights and integrations. Metro Retro leads on open platform.

Across our eight scoring dimensions, Estimioo edges ahead with an overall score of 4.6. 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

Metro Retro — pros

  • + The product you remember still exists — it now ships as Spreo (Metro Retro → Ludi, 4 Aug 2025 → Spreo, 1 Jul 2026)
  • + The vendor says accounts, boards, data and workflows carried through both renames, and old links redirect
  • + Carried its playful templates, session timer and icebreakers into the rebrand
  • + Freeform whiteboard canvas that's friendly for engagement-first retros

Metro Retro — cons

  • The Metro Retro brand and metroretro.io domain are retired — the domain 301-redirects straight to spreo.io
  • Two name changes in under a year (Metro Retro → Ludi → Spreo) leave stranded searchers chasing a moving target; bookmarks, runbooks and SSO configs all need updating
  • No standalone free tier under the new brand — a 30-day trial, then paid
  • The old domain isn't a clean redirect everywhere: metroretro.io/pricing returns a stale Spreo <em>Non-prod environment</em> stub instead of forwarding (checked 3 Aug 2026)
