Which one is for you
Pick Dailybot if
- Fits if your team is spread over time zones and the live standup keeps losing people
- Works for teams already in Slack, Teams, Google Chat or Discord
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you're after a chat app, because it only runs inside someone else's
- Tight if you're staying free, with 50 reports a month, 14 days of history and no AI summaries or integrations
- Pricey if half your workspace never answers, since every active member is billed until an admin deactivates them
- Watch out: the API, CLI, AI workflows, anonymous answers and 2FA need Advanced at $5 a user
- Not for you if you want a phone or desktop app, as it's a web dashboard and a Chrome extension
Pick Standuply if
- Fits if a team wants standups without a meeting, inside Slack
- Works for teams that want retros and planning poker in the same bot
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you are over 3 people on Starter, as Starter covers 3 users
- Skip it if you don't use Slack or Teams, since it is a bot that runs inside them
- Watch out: planning poker, 360 feedback and multi-admin need Business
- Watch out: a downgrade applies at the next billing term, with no refund or credit for the current one
- Watch out: plans above 500 employees go through sales
How we grade them
| 2.4GPADailybotFair | 3.0GPAStanduplyVery good | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | BEssentials is $2.40 per active user a month billed annually, $3 monthly, the cheapest of the standup bots it lists itself against: Geekbot $2.50, Range $8, Steady $25 a month for credits. Advanced, where the API and CLI live, is $5. Every active member is billed, answering or not. | ATeam is $1.5 per user a month billed annually for up to 5 users, $2.25 for 6 to 30. That is under 60% of the $3.50 that marks the cheaper quarter, though Business runs $3.5 to $4.25. |
| Free plan and trial | CStarter is free for unlimited members in one workspace, but the caps bite early: 50 compiled reports a month for the whole organization, 14 days of history, 20 kudos a month, and no AI summaries, forms or integrations. | BStarter is free for 3 users with customisable questions, surveys and manual standups, and a 30-day trial needs no card. A tiny team could live there. |
| Features | CIt does its own job fully: scheduled check-ins across time zones, one report with blockers flagged, AI summaries, multi-step automations, forms, kudos, a CLI so coding agents report in. But that's a smaller job than running the chat, and it needs Slack, Teams, Google Chat or Discord to reach anybody. | CStandups, retros, planning poker, 360 feedback, polls and links to Jira, Trello and GitHub. Poker, 360 feedback and multiple admins need Business. |
| Ease of use | CNo rating on record. The questions land in a chat your team already has open, so there's no new app to learn. But someone has to connect the workspace first, write the check-in questions and set the schedule before any of that happens. | BNo store rating on record, but it runs inside the Slack or Teams account you already have, so there is little to set up. |
| Platforms and integrations | BA web dashboard and a Chrome extension, running inside Slack, Microsoft Teams, Google Chat and Discord, with Jira, GitHub, Linear and Zapier connected. No app of its own on desktop or phone, and the public API is on Advanced only. | BA bot for Slack and Teams with a web dashboard, plus Jira, Trello, GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket and Asana links. No desktop or phone app of its own is listed. |
| Best for | written standups inside the chat you already use | async standups and retros in Slack or Teams |

Worth knowing
Dailybot
- Dailybot is not a standalone chat app: it runs inside Slack, Microsoft Teams, Google Chat or Discord, with a web dashboard and a Chrome extension.
- Starter is capped at 50 compiled check-in reports a month and 14 days of history, and has no AI summaries, forms or integrations.
- Paid plans bill every member whose status is active, whether or not they use Dailybot; an admin has to deactivate people to stop paying for them.
- The public API, CLI, agent skill pack, AI workflows, anonymous responses and role-based access with 2FA are limited to Advanced.
Standuply
- It is a bot that runs inside Slack or Microsoft Teams, so it needs one of them; the web dashboard covers reports and billing.
- The free Starter plan covers 3 users; planning poker, 360 feedback and multi-admin need Business.
- Per-user prices rise by tier, and plans above 500 employees are sold through sales.
- Per the FAQ, a downgrade applies at the next billing term, with no refund or credit for the current one.
Key features
Dailybot
- Async check-ins
- Scheduled questions such as a daily standup or a retrospective reach each person in chat, across time zones, and the answers are compiled into one report with blockers flagged.
- AI summaries and reports
- AI summarizes standup responses and surfaces blockers on Essentials and Advanced. AI-generated reports on trends and team health are limited to Advanced.
- Automations
- Multi-step workflows run on a trigger such as a check-in response, form submission, schedule or webhook, then send messages, call APIs, update records or request approvals.
- Forms
- Define questions, share a form by link or embed it in chat, and filter, sort or export the responses. A new response can trigger an automation.
- Kudos
- Teammates give each other recognition in chat, tied to company values and tracked on a team leaderboard. Starter allows 20 kudos per organization each month.
- CLI and agent skill pack
- On Advanced, coding agents in Cursor, Claude Code or Codex use the CLI and skill pack to report progress, run check-ins and send updates alongside people.
Standuply
- Asynchronous standups
- Standup reports run on a schedule or on demand, from templates or your own questions, and answers can include voice or video messages.
- Retrospectives and backlog refinement
- Retro notes and backlog checks are gathered through scheduled team surveys instead of a live meeting.
- Planning poker and 360 feedback
- Estimates and 360-degree feedback are collected from selected people and stored together; both are listed on the Business plan.
- Task tracker connections
- Jira, Trello, GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket and Asana connect to the bot, which can build Agile charts such as burndown from that data.
- Polls and surveys
- One-time polls run from a slash command in Slack, and recurring surveys can use conditional questions or be anonymous.
- Per-user or flat pricing
- Teams choose either a price per active user or a flat monthly fee for unlimited users, up to 500 employees on published tiers.

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
