Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.2
GPA, above 2 of the 33 other team communication apps we grade
Range is a team communication tool built around written check-ins that replace or shorten standup meetings. Teammates share what they plan to work on and how they are feeling, pulling items in from connected work tools, and the updates are posted to Slack or Microsoft Teams. It also covers meeting agendas with notes and action items, goal tracking and a team directory.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Range, taken from its own pages and our grades.
- 1
Best for check-ins, agendas and goals that link up
Range isn't a chat app: it's where your team writes a short check-in instead of sitting through a standup, pulling work in from tools like GitHub and Jira and posting the update to Slack or Microsoft Teams.
- 2
Paid plans start at $8 a month for each person
As its pricing page puts it: $8 per team member, billed month to month.
- 3
There is a free plan
Free for up to 12 users: check-ins with 30 days of history, up to 2 teams, 12 meeting agendas, 3 goals, and all integrations including Slack and Microsoft Teams.
- 4
It runs on Web
Web, with a browser extension too.
- 5
Async check-ins
Teammates post what they did and what they plan to do on a daily, weekly or custom schedule, with reminders by email or Slack when an update is due.
- 6
Work pulled in from connected tools
Range gathers recent activity from 75+ tools such as GitHub, Jira, Asana and Google Drive, so tasks and documents can be added to a check-in with one click.
- 7
Mood sharing and team questions
A check-in can include how the person is feeling and an answer to one of 350+ team-building questions, and trend graphs track team mood over time.
- 8
A 2.2 GPA, above 2 of 33
That is against the other team communication apps we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 9
Keep it
To replace Range you would be making a bot that joins your calls and turns the talk into notes. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.

The report card
Best for check-ins, agendas and goals that link up
Range isn't a chat app: it's where your team writes a short check-in instead of sitting through a standup, pulling work in from tools like GitHub and Jira and posting the update to Slack or Microsoft Teams. The free plan keeps 30 days of check-in history, 2 teams and 3 goals. Pro is $8 a member with no annual rate, about three times rival standup bots, and there's no phone or desktop app.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | Pro is $8 a team member, billed month to month with no annual rate on offer. That's about the going rate for team chat, but three times what the other standup tools it lists itself against charge: Dailybot $2.40, Geekbot $2.50. Okta and OneLogin sign-on is Enterprise-only. |
| Free plan and trial | C | Free for up to 12 users with every integration included. Then the caps: 2 teams, 12 meeting agendas, 3 goals and 30 days of check-in history, so last month's updates are gone. A 14-day card-free trial of Pro shows you the rest. |
| Features | C | It covers its own job: check-ins pulling activity in from 75-plus tools, mood tracking with trend graphs, meeting agendas with owners and action items, hierarchical goals with KPIs and a team directory. But that job is a slice of this category, and the updates themselves go out through Slack or Teams. |
| Ease of use | C | No rating on record, and there's a fair bit of setting up: connect the work tools, choose a check-in schedule, map teams and sub-teams in the directory and write the goals before the first update lands. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | A web app and a Chrome extension, plus apps for Slack and Microsoft Teams, and the integrations list is long: Zoom, Google Calendar, GitHub, Jira, Asana, Zapier and 75-plus others. No desktop or mobile app of its own, so no writing a check-in on the bus. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Range is for
- Fits if your remote team wants written check-ins in place of a daily standup call
- Works for teams of 12 or fewer who can live with 30 days of check-in history
Who it is not for

- Tight if you're staying free, with 2 teams, 12 meeting agendas, 3 goals and 30 days of history

- Pricey if you just want standups, at $8 a member against $2.40 for Dailybot and $2.50 for Geekbot
- Watch out: private check-ins and guests need Pro, and Okta or OneLogin sign-on needs Enterprise, priced by quote

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace Range you would be making a bot that joins your calls and turns the talk into notes. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 26 of the 33 other team communication apps grade higher. It costs $96 a year.
What you could make
- Goals and templates: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- A bot that joins your calls and turns the talk into notes.
- It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team.
- It plugs into other products, Slack, Microsoft Teams and Zoom among them, and has an API.
What this rests on. Range’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
