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 If you are searching for Metro Retro, the product you want is Spreo; the original Metro Retro brand and domain are no longer maintained.

Reetro
6.1Fun, easy and AI-powered online retrospectives
Reetro is a lightweight retrospective tool with a genuinely free tier and a shipped app that runs well ahead of its own marketing site. Three board types — standard, phased (Reflect/Group/Vote/Discuss) and RoundUp, an async video, voice or text interview with AI-generated questions — sit alongside health checks, polls, a happiness calendar and an action tracker. AI meeting summaries, sentiment and emotion trends, auto-grouping and AI action items are quota-limited rather than paid-only, so Free gets a taste. SSO, the Scheduler and anonymous retros start on the $10/team Pro plan; data retention needs Pro Unlimited, billed at $49/month per organisation. ISO 27001 is claimed at vendor level; SOC 2 is listed as compliant, not certified.
Full review →Summary
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.
Reetro scores 6.1 overall and is best for small to mid-sized agile teams who want a cheap, AI-assisted retro board — SSO, health checks, the Scheduler and anonymous retros at $10/team/mo, or $49/mo flat for the whole org — and who don't need an API or ClickUp/GitHub/Linear. It offers a free tier.
Reetro leads on ease of use, retro toolkit, value, AI & insights, integrations and enterprise-grade.
Across our eight scoring dimensions, Reetro edges ahead with an overall score of 6.1. That said, the right pick depends on your team — see the dimension-by-dimension breakdown below.

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
Reetro — pros
- + Genuinely free tier, no credit card — 3 teams, 9 members, 6 columns and 50 guests, plus quota-limited AI (1 meeting summary, 3 auto-groupings, 3 AI action items a month)
- + <strong>SSO, the Scheduler and anonymous retros all start on the $10/team Pro plan</strong>, confirmed by the app's own upgrade copy
- + Pro Unlimited is genuinely org-wide — the app bills it at <em>$49/month per organisation</em>, not per team
- + RoundUp collects async video, voice or text feedback with AI-generated, editable interview questions — a real async mode, not just a board left open
- + AI meeting summaries carry sentiment, emotion trends (joy/trust/fear/sadness) and participation metrics, and roll up into cross-team comparison views
Reetro — cons
- − The marketing site understates the product: PDF and XLSX export, @mentions, link cards and comparative reporting are all live in the app yet tagged <em>coming soon</em> on the pricing page
- − No public API, no webhooks and no MCP server — nothing can drive Reetro programmatically
- − Slack and Teams notifications are sold, but the shipped app has no way to connect either; Confluence and Trello are export-only, a Word or CSV file plus a link to the other vendor's import instructions
- − No playable icebreakers: the in-app 'Icebreakers & Games' tiles link to four game subdomains, none of which resolves any more
- − No published Reetro-level SOC 2 Type 2 audit (the trust portal lists SOC 2 as 'compliant', ISO 27001 as 'certified'), and no SCIM
- − Anonymity is paid-only, and the Pro Unlimited plan card still reads PER TEAM while the FAQ and the app both say per organisation
