Standuply review

Standuply is a bot for Slack and Microsoft Teams that automates Agile check-ins and related team workflows. Teams can schedule asynchronous standups, collect retrospective feedback, run planning poker, refine backlogs, send polls and surveys, and gather 360-degree feedback. Standup reports can use text, voice, or video, according to the product description. The bot can also connect with task trackers and other tools to support Agile workflows and team reporting; the published materials don’t name specific integrations.

That makes Standuply a way to collect updates and feedback inside the tools a team already uses—not a full project management system. It can help structure recurring check-ins, but it doesn’t replace the need to manage work in a task tracker or decide whether a standup is useful in the first place.

The main advantage is range: Standuply handles more than daily status questions. Teams can use it for sprint retrospectives, estimates, backlog checks, recurring surveys, and feedback collection without moving those activities out of Slack or Teams. Async text, voice, and video reports also give teams options for how people contribute.

The listed pricing has a free entry point and a 30-day trial for paid plans, with no credit card required for the trial. Annual billing lowers the monthly-equivalent rates. The published pricing details list:

• Starter: free for 3 users, with 3 automation respondents, unlimited free To-Dos, and unlimited channel polls.
• Team: $2–$3.50 per user monthly, or $1.50–$2.50 per user/month on annual billing. Flat-fee options are $199 or $299 monthly, or $149 or $249/month annually, for up to 500 employees.
• Business: $4–$5.50 per user monthly, or $3.50–$4.50 per user/month annually. Flat-fee options are $299 or $399 monthly, or $249 or $349/month annually, for up to 500 employees.

Enterprise pricing is custom and lists SSO, SIEM, and a 99.99% guaranteed uptime SLA.

Standuply can collect updates, but a bot cannot make those updates useful or ensure teammates read them. In one Reddit discussion, a team said summaries from several standup bots went unread; other commenters argued that async reports miss the visibility or team connection they value in live standups. Those comments aren’t specific to Standuply, but they point to the trade-off: automating a ritual doesn’t prove the ritual is worth keeping.

The free plan is small: 3 users and 3 automation respondents. Larger teams need a paid plan, and the listed Team and Business prices vary by tier without the published details mapping each price to a specific set of features. Flat-fee plans cover up to 500 employees; Enterprise is custom priced. The pricing details don’t specify other plan caps, name the task-tracker integrations, or explain how much reporting differs by tier. Standuply is best viewed as an Agile workflow bot, not a replacement for a project management tool.

Standuply’s Starter plan is free for up to 3 users and includes 3 automation respondents, unlimited free To-Dos, and unlimited channel polls. The pricing details list Team at $2, $3, or $3.50 per user monthly, or $1.50, $2.25, or $2.50 per user/month with annual billing. Team also has flat-fee options: $199 or $299 monthly, or $149 or $249/month annually, for up to 500 employees.

Business starts at $4 per user monthly or $3.50 per user/month annually; higher tiers reach $5.50 monthly or $4.50 annually. Its flat-fee options are $299 or $399 monthly, or $249 or $349/month annually, for up to 500 employees. That makes the move from the lowest Team rate to the lowest Business rate a jump from $2 to $4 monthly per user, or $1.50 to $3.50 on annual billing. Team and Business list a 30-day trial with no card required. Enterprise pricing is custom. No add-ons are listed. Annual rates are monthly equivalents, so check the billing term before comparing totals.

Standuply runs in Slack or Microsoft Teams and connects with task trackers and other tools, so switching means deciding which existing meeting and Agile workflows to move—not replacing your project-management system. The product details describe standups, retrospectives, planning poker, backlog refinement, polls, and feedback surveys, but don’t specify a migration service or how much setup is required to recreate existing schedules and integrations.

Data export and deletion procedures are not published on the vendor's site. That leaves an important exit question: whether you can take survey responses, reports, or other records with you if you leave. We’d confirm that with Standuply before moving sensitive feedback or making the bot part of a regular reporting process. The published material also contains no Reddit posts, so we can’t responsibly say what users on Reddit most often cite as a reason for leaving. Treat the lack of public migration and export detail as something to resolve before switching, not proof that data is trapped.
