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 If you are searching for Metro Retro, the product you want is Spreo; the original Metro Retro brand and domain are no longer maintained.

Trune.io
4.1Structured online retrospectives with team radar
Trune (formerly Fraankly) is an EU-built retrospective and team-feedback tool that runs a fixed four-phase session — silent writing, presenting, voting, actions — with 14 pre-built templates plus custom ones, anonymous cards, drag-to-group clustering, dot voting, action items with reminder emails, and team radars including the Spotify Squad Health Check. Hosted in Frankfurt with EU-only application data, available in five UI languages, and exports results to Excel, CSV or an emailed PDF.
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.
Trune.io scores 4.1 overall and is best for small EU-based agile teams that want a simple, <strong>GDPR-aligned</strong> retro tool with templates, grouping, voting, and team radars — and can live with a vendor whose app has not shipped an update since September 2025. It offers a free tier.
Metro Retro leads on fun factor. Trune.io leads on ease of use, retro toolkit, value, integrations and open platform.
Across our eight scoring dimensions, Trune.io edges ahead with an overall score of 4.1. 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
Trune.io — pros
- + EU/Frankfurt data residency and a GDPR-first posture — the FAQ states no application data is stored outside Europe
- + Per-team (not per-seat) pricing: $19/mo covers unlimited members, and the free tier gives 5 sessions
- + Native two-way Azure DevOps sync on the Enterprise plan — action items out as work items, Done status back in
- + Team radars include the Spotify Squad Health Check plus fully custom radars
- + Ships in five UI languages (English, German, Dutch, French, Italian) and exports to Excel, CSV or an emailed PDF
Trune.io — cons
- − <strong>The product has stood still</strong>: the web app was last deployed in September 2025, the blog stopped in July 2024, there is no changelog, and the Android app is gone from Google Play
- − No SCIM, SOC 2 or audit logs, and SSO only as a bespoke per-customer SAML setup — not enterprise-ready
- − No AI: the code carries a truneGPT chat window, but nothing in the interface opens it
- − Azure DevOps is the only native connector and is Enterprise-only (quote-based); everything else is a single one-way Zapier trigger
