Geekbot

Steady

Distributed teams replacing daily standups and status meetings with written updates
Organizations coordinating several teams around shared goals
Teams that run AI coding agents and want them reporting alongside people

Geekbot

Geekbot works inside Slack or Microsoft Teams, so a team needs one of them; its own web dashboard is for setup, analytics and billing.
The free Starter plan covers up to 10 active participants and keeps up to 3 months of reporting history.
API access, Geekbot AI, anonymous reporting, engagement summaries and CSV exports are listed under the Basic plan.
Standups and polls are billed separately: standups per participant, polls and surveys per respondent.

Steady

Cost follows usage: a check-in delivered to 5 people spends 5 credits, and Goal Story updates and Echo answers cost 5 credits per recipient.
When credits run out Steady stops deliveries until more are added, though it keeps collecting updates for 7 days.
On iOS and Android Steady runs as a progressive web app; the native apps are for Mac and Windows only.

Geekbot

Asynchronous standups: The bot messages each participant in Slack or Teams with the standup questions, collects the replies and broadcasts every report in a chosen channel.
Schedules across time zones: Questions arrive in each person's local time, participants can set their own reporting times, and out-of-office periods pause the standup.
Polls and surveys: Instant polls and recurring surveys go to channels or DMs, with anonymous voting, AI-generated answer options and results shown as charts.
Insights and analytics: Reporting insights cover participation rates, categories of blockers and team sentiment, and a dashboard tracks reported tasks and projects over time.
Templates: More than 25 pre-built templates include a daily standup, a retrospective, a sales report and an employee NPS survey.
API, MCP server and CLI: The Basic plan includes API access, and an MCP server and a command-line tool connect Geekbot to AI agents.

Steady

Smart Check-ins: Teammates share plans and progress on the days their team chooses, with AI drafts and reminders, and work from connected apps is attached automatically.
Goal Stories: Each goal gets a running record of who is doing what and where things stand, and goal updates are delivered to the people following it.
Daily Digest: A personalized digest of check-ins, goal updates and activity, delivered where people work: Slack, Microsoft Teams, email or the Steady apps.
Echoes: AI agents that answer a recurring question on a schedule, such as which goals are slipping, drawing on check-ins, goals and connected tools.
Agent teammates, MCP and API: AI agents can join teams, check in and update goals like people. An MCP server connects Claude and ChatGPT, and a REST API and CLI are available.
Insights and admin controls: Insights charts teamwork trends such as progress on goals. SSO, SAML and SCIM are available, and the vendor reports SOC 2 Type 2 audits.
