Clear Estimates vs Planning Poker Online

Clear Estimates is estimating software for residential remodelers, handymen, and general contractors. Its line-item database provides region-specific labor and material prices for more than 400 U.S. areas, with quarterly updates, and the pricing page lists more than 400 preloaded templates. Users can prepare itemized estimates and branded client proposals with scope of work and boilerplate language, then customize parts, templates, and boilerplate. Alternate prices can be added to a project as change orders. The software also creates payable invoices, with customers able to pay by credit card or ACH. QuickBooks Online and Desktop integrations are available to all customers; Pro adds estimate exports to BuilderTrend and connections to CRMs and other apps through Zapier. Standard includes one login, while Pro permits additional users for $9/month and can restrict sales users from changing prices or templates. The company offers setup walkthroughs, phone and email help, tutorials, videos, and monthly webinars. Standard starts at $59 a month when billed annually; a 30-day trial is listed.

Planning Poker Online is a browser-based story point estimation tool for sprint planning. Teams can vote in real time or asynchronously and reveal results later; the revealed table shows vote spread, average, and an agreement score. Built-in card decks include Fibonacci, modified Fibonacci, powers of two, T-shirt sizes, and estimates in hours, days, or weeks, and teams can create custom decks. Players join with a display name and need no account, though the game creator does. The free plan allows 9 votings and 5 voted issues per game, with unlimited players and permanent game URLs. The web app supports CSV issue import and export, and importing issues from pasted URLs. It connects to Linear through OAuth to import issues and write estimates back. Jira is handled by a separate Jira Cloud plugin, free for Jira sites with up to 10 users; the web app itself does not connect to Jira. Premium costs $30 a month per facilitator, or 300 USD billed yearly, and includes a 15-day trial. The product was founded in 2020 and is provided by WE AGILE YOU, S.L., based in La Canya, Girona, Spain.
