Frequently asked questions
What happened to Metro Retro?
Metro Retro shipped under that name from 2019, was renamed Ludi in August 2025, then renamed again to Spreo in July 2026. It is the same product from the same company, Deqo Software Ltd in London, with the same customer accounts, and the old metroretro.io address now redirects to spreo.io. So if you are looking for Metro Retro, the tool you want is Spreo. This page compares TeamRetro with the product as it ships today under the Spreo name.
Why do teams switch from Spreo (formerly Metro Retro) to TeamRetro?
Spreo is now marketed as online whiteboard software for agile teams, with retrospectives one use case on the canvas alongside sprint planning, refinement and workshops. When retros are a standing team habit, that gap shows: a canvas gives you space, but it doesn't run the session or show whether the team is getting better, and last time's actions only come back if someone imports them.
Is it hard to move from Spreo (formerly Metro Retro) to TeamRetro?
No. Switching is a clean start with nothing to export or migrate. You open your next retrospective from a ready-made template you can customize, the team joins with a single link, ideas group automatically, and open actions carry forward from where the last discussion ended. Health check radars then trend the same questions sprint after sprint, so improvement is something you can see rather than assume.
What is Spreo and how does it work?
Spreo describes itself as online whiteboard software for agile teams: an infinite canvas with sticky notes, live cursors, voting, timers and host controls, and a template library of 150+ boards covering retrospectives, sprint planning, refinement, planning poker and workshops. Retrospectives are one use case on that canvas rather than the whole product. TeamRetro is built the other way around. Retrospectives and team health checks are the product, so you get guided stages, automated grouping, action carry-over between sessions and health check radars that trend over time. If you want a blank canvas for occasional workshops, Spreo fits. If retrospectives are a recurring ritual you want structured and measured, TeamRetro fits.
Is Spreo free? What are the pricing plans?
Spreo has a free Lite version with no login: one board, up to three people working live, stored in your browser. The full product is the Team plan, with a 15-day free trial, after which the account pauses to a read-only state until you pick a plan. The Team plan prices each person by role: Editors are $13 a month and Collaborators $3 a month billed annually ($16 and $4 billed monthly), every team needs at least one Editor, and visitors on open boards are free. Enterprise, for 100+ users, is custom priced, and customers on the older Starter and Business plans keep them. TeamRetro also offers a 30-day free trial with full access. After that, the Single Team plan is $25 a month, or about $20.83 a month billed annually, for up to 25 users. Plans scale by team, not by user count: the Small Organization plan is $50 a month for 3 teams and the Large Organization plan $75 a month for 6 teams, both billed annually, with unlimited users. In short, Spreo charges per member while TeamRetro charges per team, which stays more predictable as a team grows.
Is my data secured and protected with Spreo?
Spreo hosts entirely in the EU (Amsterdam), encrypts data in transit with TLS and at rest with AES-256, and offers SAML SSO on paid plans. It is GDPR compliant. It is not SOC 2 certified itself: its published security page cites the SOC 2, ISO 27001 and PCI-DSS certifications of its data centre provider, which is a different thing from an audit of the vendor. TeamRetro holds its own SOC 2 Type 2 certification, is GDPR compliant, and can be hosted in either the US or the EU. Details are on the TeamRetro security page.
How do I run a voting round or collect feedback?
Spreo runs voting rounds on the board, with configurable votes per person and voting on grouped topics, plus a private writing mode so people write before anyone sees. TeamRetro builds voting into the facilitated flow: dot voting, votes set per person or per idea, unlimited facilitator votes, and independent voting to reduce bias. Votes are tallied and the discussion is presented in order of most voted, so the room moves straight to what matters.
Can Spreo integrate with Jira, Slack, or other tools?
Spreo integrates with Jira with a two-way sync, and its pricing page also lists Linear and Azure DevOps. All three are on the Team plan. Slack, Google, GitHub and LinkedIn appear as sign-in providers rather than integrations. TeamRetro integrates with Jira, Trello, Confluence, Microsoft Teams, Slack, Linear, Azure DevOps and more, so actions land where the work already lives.
What TeamRetro users say
The interface is clean and super intuitive and the flow was easy to navigate. I love the different options for retro types and the sticky note and dot voting experience was great. And finally, the ability to create actions was a fantastic finish. Your team should be SO PROUD.
In software development and consultancy, human factors can be the difference between ‘okay’ and ‘awesome.’ That’s why we hold weekly check-ins, and TeamRetro lets team members share their thoughts before meetings.
TeamRetro is a product where every detail is considered – simple usage, and good design. different flows for different needs, highly customizable, real-time features. It allows you to enter a retrospective or health check meeting comfortably and be ready for the meeting as a team leader.
It is intuitive, easy to use, and helps the team tremendously to perform a constructive retrospective. Also, the health check fully meets our requirements.
I love TeamRetro because it allows my team and me to focus on our topics without worrying about security or the tools we use, thanks to its amazing UI/UX. I started using it for retrospectives and health checks at my previous company, and now I also use it for planning poker.
TeamRetro’s Team Health Check feature allowed us to run quick surveys, providing a pulse on how our teams felt about aspects like communication and workload.
Probably one of the best applications we’ve used to conduct a retrospective. Seeing everyone interact with the board and share their opinions was awesome! The integrations with our Jira board is great. Allows us to track our goals and ensure they’re owned. Thank You, thumbs up from me👍
TeamRetro helped our teams effectively manage retrospective meetings, even in a remote setup, saving time and increasing productivity.
With the step-by-step framework TeamRetro provides, it enables small teams to hold regular retrospectives with alternating team members in the facilitating role.
Excellent, it’s exactly what we expected and even more, we liked very much the idea of incorporating in the report not only the current retro actions but also the pending ones from earlier retros.
