Sup Bot

Sup Bot combines asynchronous stand-ups with leave management for teams that organize around chat. It suits groups looking to bring recurring updates and time-off workflows into that setting, though its useful free tier is deliberately limited.

Overview

Sup spans stand-ups, forms and polls, check-ins, hybrid-work status, and leave tracking. Its Slack, Microsoft Teams, and Webex integrations fit teams that already coordinate in chat; Google Calendar and Google Sheets extend selected workflows into scheduling and reporting. This breadth is useful when a team wants several coordination tasks in one place, but Sup’s modular pricing means those tasks do not all come together at the entry price.

Stand-ups support recurring follow-ups and templates, with blocker tracking, summaries, and reports. Leave workflows cover requests, manager approvals, custom leave types, and balances. Approved leave and team holidays can sync to a shared Google Calendar. Sup also describes encryption in transit and technical and organizational security measures; workspace data and submitted reports are retained to provide the service, while account data is deleted from production and backups within four working days of an account deletion request.

Key features

Stand-ups and team feedback

Recurring follow-ups and pre-built templates provide a way to collect updates without scheduling a live status meeting. Blocker tracking and summaries help make updates actionable, while anonymous mood tracking and reporting offer additional context. The Free plan allows only one active follow-up, so teams with several recurring routines will need to pay for expanded stand-up capacity.

Forms, polls, and hybrid work

Forms, polls, and recurring check-ins broaden Sup beyond stand-ups to other team information-gathering. Work-from-home and work-from-office status workflows can help teams track where people are working. Unlimited forms, analytics, and anonymous responses are in the Forms add-on; automatic WFH/WFO tracking is in the Workflows add-on.

Leave management

Teams can submit leave requests for manager approval and track custom leave types and balances. The Holidays / Leaves plan adds team-based PTO tracking, automatic leave approval, public holiday imports, and Google Calendar integration. That is a substantial workflow for teams that want leave coordination alongside chat, but its separate price is significant if leave tracking is the only feature needed.

Pricing

Sup has a Free plan at free, with one active follow-up, up to 15 members, and unlimited responses. It is a practical starting point for a small team with a single recurring update, but the 15-person ceiling and one-follow-up cap rule it out for larger groups or multiple stand-up routines.

The paid options are separately priced monthly:

Workflows add-on — $9 a month: Automatic WFH/WFO tracking, for teams whose priority is hybrid-work status.

Forms add-on — $9 a month: Unlimited forms, analytics, and anonymous responses, for teams collecting information beyond a basic check-in.

Stand-ups — $29 a month: Unlimited follow-ups, anonymous mood tracking, unlimited reporting history, and Google Sheets integration. This suits teams that have outgrown the free follow-up cap and need richer reporting.

Holidays / Leaves — $49 a month: Team-based PTO tracking, unlimited custom leave types, automatic leave approval, Google Calendar integration, and public holiday import. It is the relevant tier for teams that need a fuller leave process, but is a costly step if they only want basic stand-ups.

A 14-day trial includes all features. After it ends, the account downgrades to the Free plan, so teams should expect to choose a paid option or accept the free limits to continue using capabilities beyond that tier.

Platforms

Sup runs on the web and integrates with Slack, Microsoft Teams, and Webex. Google Calendar can receive approved leave and team holidays, while Google Sheets integration is included with the Stand-ups plan. The stated platform is web, so Sup is best considered by teams comfortable working through a browser and their chat tools.

Who it's for

Sup is aimed at chat-first teams seeking asynchronous alignment and fewer status meetings. It is a good fit for groups that want stand-ups plus forms, hybrid-work status, or leave workflows, and can identify which paid modules they need. A team with more than 15 members, multiple recurring follow-ups, or a need for broad reporting should budget for a paid plan. Teams seeking only a simple stand-up routine may find the add-on structure more than they need.

Pros and cons

Pro: Stand-ups, leave requests, forms, polls, and hybrid-work status cover several coordination needs without requiring a live status meeting.

Pro: The Free plan includes unlimited responses, making it usable for a small team so long as one active follow-up is enough.

Pro: Leave calendar sync and Google Sheets integration connect selected workflows to scheduling and reporting tools.

Con: The Free plan stops at 15 members and one active follow-up, limiting its usefulness as a team grows or adds routines.

Con: Stand-ups, forms, workflows, and leave are split across distinct paid options, and the Holidays / Leaves plan costs $49 a month.

Alternatives

Compare daily stand-up software if you want to consider the category more broadly. Among the individual options:

Geekbot is worth comparing for teams that want an alternative freemium stand-up tool; its Basic — Standups plan is $2.50 a month billed at $ 2.5 /participant/month on annual billing, with $3 per participant/month also stated.

asyncmate is another freemium web option; consider it if a free plan for up to 10 active teammates is a closer fit.

DailyStandup offers a free plan for up to 5 members with daily AI summaries and 7-day history, and a Pro plan at $8 a month billed annually. It is a comparison point for small teams prioritizing those free-plan features.

Murmurd has a free plan for up to 5 members and a Pro plan at $3 a month. Consider it when a smaller team wants daily check-ins and weekly priorities.

Openbook is another freemium option with web and API platforms.

Standup Alice offers a free plan for Slack teams of 1–4 people, with custom questions and reminders; it may fit a very small Slack team.

Standuply has a free Starter plan for three users with automation and Q&A; it is an option to compare for a team within that user limit.

StandupSync has a $9 a month Pro plan, billed month-to-month with no lock-in, for up to 50 members. It may suit teams looking for that stated capacity and a monthly commitment.

Verdict

Choose Sup if your chat-first team wants asynchronous stand-ups and may also use forms, hybrid-work tracking, or structured leave management. Its range of workflows and chat integrations is the strongest reason to choose it; the 15-member, one-follow-up free cap and separately priced paid capabilities are the reasons to look elsewhere if you only need an inexpensive, simple stand-up tool.
