ScrumAI vs Standup Alice

ScrumAI is a web service for asynchronous engineering standups in Slack or Discord. At a configured time, its bot asks three short questions, allowing teammates to answer on their own schedules. When the response window ends, AI creates a two-paragraph summary and a blocker list; refreshing the page does not regenerate that readout. A dashboard separates late replies from missed replies and shows extracted blockers. Teams can set days, time, timezone, and questions, then run multiple standup configurations for sub-teams. Its graph-based flow builder can branch according to answers, route messages to channels, or skip steps. ScrumAI says Supabase row-level security scopes data by team. Beta retention is 90 days. The Beta plan is free for up to five teammates per workspace; Standard is listed at $5 a month per user.

Standup Alice is a web-based bot for running asynchronous stand-up meetings. It reminds team members to answer questions, then sends a team summary at a chosen time to multiple channels and email. Teams can customize questions for each meeting, use threaded conversations for readable summaries, and manage multiple teams and workspaces, including shared channels and members in Slack Connect. Scheduling supports multiple time zones and both synchronous and asynchronous stand-ups. The maker lists Slack, Microsoft Teams, Cisco Webex and Google Chat among its platform options. The free plan covers Slack teams of one to four people and includes custom questions, reminders, admin summaries and reports, scheduling and time-zone integration. Paid plans describe support for larger teams, with multiple-team support, in-thread interaction, multi-channel support and invoice billing among higher-tier features. The pricing note says paid from $1.99/user/mo; plan details also list Paid - Pro at $1 a month, billed per user/month. Its full-featured free trial lasts six weeks, requires no credit card and may be longer for some teams.
