We compared 13 planning poker tools on what matters when you pick one: what the free plan really includes, where it stops being free, whether everyone needs an account, and how it works with Jira.
We make Planning Poker Web, one of the tools on this list. We tried to be fair: every figure comes from the vendor's own site, checked in October 2026, and we say clearly when another tool is the better fit.
| If you want | Pick |
|---|---|
| Everything free with no caps, plus Jira, Linear, ClickUp and a retro board | Planning Poker Web |
| A vote in seconds where nobody creates an account | Pointing Poker |
| One platform for retros, standups and estimation | Parabol or Kollabe |
| A vote inside Jira at no cost | Planning Poker Agility |
| Everything inside Jira, with advanced features and a budget | Agile Poker for Jira |
| A team that plans its work in GitHub | Zenhub |
| A small team of up to 7 people | PlanITpoker |
What you get without paying, and the first limit you hit.
And whether it is billed per user, per facilitator, per team or per Jira site.
Whether everyone who votes needs to sign up.
Importing work and sending the agreed estimate back.
Retros, async voting, history, and whether there are ads.

More detail on our own free plan in free planning poker, compared, and on the Jira options in planning poker for Jira.
It depends on the limit you would hit first. For no caps and integrations, Planning Poker Web. For a vote where nobody creates an account, Pointing Poker. For a free vote inside Jira, Planning Poker Agility.
Yes. Planning Poker Web, Pointing Poker and Scrum Poker Online have no cap on participants. Pointing Poker and the free plan of Scrum Poker Online show ads; Planning Poker Web does not.
Planning Poker Web (OAuth, nothing to install), Planning Poker Online, Kollabe (paid plans), Parabol, PlanningPoker.com, Scrumpy (basic free, more as paid add-ons), and Marketplace apps such as Agile Poker for Jira and Planning Poker Agility.
Not always. In Pointing Poker, Scrum Poker Online, Scrumpy and the TeamRetro app nobody needs one. In Planning Poker Web only the host does. In Parabol, Zenhub and Jira apps everyone does.
Cloud apps are billed at the user tier of your whole Jira site, not by the number of people who estimate. A company with 500 Jira users pays for 500, even if one team of 8 uses the app.
We make one of the tools, so read it with that in mind. Every figure comes from the vendor's own site, and we recommend other tools when they fit better.
Prices and limits from each vendor's own website and, for Jira apps, the pricing tab of their Atlassian Marketplace listing, checked in October 2026. Plans change: check each site for current terms. Logos belong to their owners and are shown only to identify each product.
Planning Poker Web is free, with no limits on votes, tasks or rooms. Guests join from a link.
