PlanningPoker.live vs UltimatePlanningPoker

PlanningPoker.live is an online agile estimation tool for preparing project cards, voting, and reaching consensus. Teams can use T-shirt sizing, Fibonacci values, or custom voting combinations, with unlimited voters, vote averages, and edge-case highlighting. Participants may prepare topics and vote asynchronously before a meeting. Embedded apps support Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, and Webex. Jira and Linear integrations import issues and synchronize agreed story-point estimates back to those tools, while Slack can create sessions with a channel command. Rooms may use passwords, organization restrictions, and adjustable member permissions. The service runs on the web and as an extension, with anonymous room access available at no cost. Paid one-time bundles cost 9.00 USD, 17.00 USD, or 50.00 USD. Its public code runs on Firebase and Google Cloud, with AES-256 at rest and TLS 1.2 or later in transit.

UltimatePlanningPoker is a free web platform for Agile estimation and sprint retrospectives. During Planning Poker, teammates choose Fibonacci cards, reveal estimates together, discuss differences, and work toward agreement on story points. Participants can attach comments to their estimates and view group results in a bar diagram. Teams start by creating a unique team name or joining with a team code. The retrospective board records what went well, improvement areas, and future ideas, and allows a Star of the Sprint award for multiple members. The Free plan costs nothing and includes Planning Poker, backlog refinement, and sprint retrospectives without sign-up. The service is intended for Scrum Masters, Agile Coaches, Product Owners, Product Managers, engineering managers, technical leads, and remote or distributed development teams. It is web-only. The company says the site uses encrypted HTTPS and is hosted on Vercel. Its privacy policy says it collects names, email addresses, team details, and submitted feedback or comments.
