Best for async standups and retros in Slack or Teams
Standuply is a bot that runs daily standups, retros, polls and planning poker in Slack and Microsoft Teams, with answers in text, voice or video and a web dashboard. It is cheap, but the free plan covers 3 users and planning poker and 360 feedback need the Business plan.
Who Standuply is for
- Fits if a team wants standups without a meeting, inside Slack
- Works for teams that want retros and planning poker in the same bot
Who Standuply is not for
- 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
Why Standuply gets a 3.0
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- AValue for moneyTeam 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.
- BFree plan and trialStarter 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.
- CFeaturesStandups, retros, planning poker, 360 feedback, polls and links to Jira, Trello and GitHub. Poker, 360 feedback and multiple admins need Business.
- BEase of useNo store rating on record, but it runs inside the Slack or Teams account you already have, so there is little to set up.
- BPlatforms and integrationsA 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.

Keep Standuply, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Standuply you would be making chat that a whole team counts on staying up. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 3.0 is higher than 41 of the 50 other team communication apps we grade. It costs $18 a year.
What you could make
- Surveys and reports: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Chat that a whole team counts on staying up.
- Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
- It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. Standuply’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.
What is Standuply?
Standuply is a bot for Slack and Microsoft Teams that runs team routines asynchronously: daily standups, retrospectives, polls, planning poker and 360-degree feedback. People answer in text, voice or video, and results are posted in a channel and kept in a web dashboard. It can also connect to task trackers such as Jira, Trello and GitHub.
Worth knowing
- 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
- 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.
