Estimioo
4.8AI-powered planning poker, retrospectives and standups for agile teams
Estimioo is a lightweight, browser-based agile-ceremony tool that bundles AI-assisted planning poker and a 42-format sprint retrospective board into one shared workspace. Estimation is still the centre of gravity, but the retro board caught up in September 2026: optional Writing → Voting → Discuss phases with a shared timer, anonymous sessions or single anonymous cards, host-led card grouping, a 3–10 vote budget, action-item owners, and a carry-over banner fed by the host's personal action tracker. A Claude-powered summary returns team mood, key themes and ranked action items. What it still lacks is blind brainstorming, recurring retros, health-check trends and any retro export beyond a clipboard recap.

Metro Retro
3.0Rebranded 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 If you are searching for Metro Retro, the product you want is Spreo; the original Metro Retro brand and domain are no longer maintained.

Estimioo — pros
- + Genuinely cheap — flat <strong>$7/workspace/mo</strong> with unlimited participants, plus a usable free tier; guests join by link or QR with no signup, in five UI languages
- + A real facilitation flow: optional Writing → Voting → Discuss phases with a done-writing signal, host-led card grouping, a 3–10 vote budget and owners on action items
- + Anonymous sessions (or a single anonymous card on a named board), and open actions from earlier retros resurface as a banner when the host starts the next one
- + Unusually fun for the price: 340+ synced icebreakers, twelve ambient and music tracks, emoji reactions on cards and an in-session chat with GIFs
- + One-click Claude retro summary returns team mood, key themes and ranked action items with <em>Add all to board</em>
Estimioo — cons
- − No blind brainstorm — cards appear to everyone as they're written, so the retro page's <em>write first, discuss second</em> pitch rests on the facilitator, not the tool
- − Follow-through belongs to the host, not the team: carry-over runs through a personal action tracker, nothing recurs or can be scheduled, and Team Radar scores don't trend across retros
- − Thin integrations: Slack and Teams are copy-to-clipboard buttons, Jira is planning-poker only, Linear is still "on the way", and a retro exports nothing but a pasted recap — no API, webhooks or MCP
- − No SOC 2, ISO 27001, DPA or data-residency option, and while Enterprise lists SSO, the shipped sign-in offers only Google and email
- − Social proof is entirely unattributed — <em>450+ teams</em>, a <em>4.8</em> rating and a logo wall naming Accenture, Deloitte, Thoughtworks and Xero, with no G2, Capterra or Product Hunt listing to corroborate any of it
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
