## Ways to pay less

- **Annual billing lowers the monthly rate** (Annual discount): Team is $1.5 per user a month billed annually against $2 billed monthly, and Business $3.5 against $4, for up to 5 users. Source: https://standuply.com/pricing
- **Special plans for non-profits and schools** (Nonprofit): The pricing FAQ says non-profit and educational organizations have special plans, available by contacting support. Source: https://standuply.com/pricing

## 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.

## Good for

- Scrum teams replacing live standups and retros with async check-ins
- Remote teams spread across time zones
- Teams already on Slack or Microsoft Teams that track work in Jira or Trello

## 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.

## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 3.0 out of 4**, graded Nov 12, 2026. 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.

- **Value for money: A.** Team 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: B.** Starter 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: C.** Standups, retros, planning poker, 360 feedback, polls and links to Jira, Trello and GitHub. Poker, 360 feedback and multiple admins need Business.
- **Ease of use: B.** No 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: B.** A 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 it, 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 60 of the 75 other team communication apps we grade. It costs $18 a year.

- You could make: Surveys and reports: an app builder makes these well.
- You could not: Chat that a whole team counts on staying up.
- You could not: Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
- You could not: It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team.
- You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
