Planning Poker vs Planning Poker Online

Planning Poker is a web-based card game for agile and Scrum teams estimating sprint work together through anonymous pointing. The service reveals estimates so participants can discuss differences and estimate again until they reach agreement. Teams can import stories from Jira or add them during planning, then export estimates and notes to project management tools. Scales and timers are customizable, while paid plans add custom pointing scales and Jira integration. The free Basic plan costs nothing and allows up to 5 players per game; it includes four pointing scales, a customizable timer, editable score average, and printable results, with ads. Standard costs $14.95 a month or $150 a year and supports up to 10 participants. Pro costs $49.95 a month or $498 a year and supports up to 50. Paid plans are charged per game organizer. New accounts start with a free 14-day trial of Planning Poker Pro. The privacy policy says story, task, and work item data is encrypted in the database using AES-256-CBC with HMAC-SHA-512 authentication, and user data is processed in whole or part in the United States.

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.
