The short version

Geekbot is the strongest default: the free plan covers 10 users with unlimited standups, and the paid plan stays cheap at $2.50 per participant on annual billing. DailyBot is the pick when a standup bot should also run kudos, forms and automations, and it is the only bot here that lists Discord. Standuply has the lowest entry price and adds voice and video answers, retros and planning poker. Troopr drafts each update from Jira, GitHub and Slack activity, which suits engineering teams. Range adds goals and meeting agendas, StandupBot keeps things simple with a flat fee, Standup Alice is the cheapest flat per-user plan and reaches Webex and Google Chat, Steady prices by usage with unlimited users, and Kollabe bundles standups with retros and planning poker per team space.

Short answer

Geekbot is the best Slack standup bot for remote teams in 2026, free for up to 10 users and $2.50 per participant a month on annual billing after that. DailyBot suits teams that also want kudos, forms and workflows across Slack, Teams, Google Chat and Discord, from $2.40 per active user a month billed annually. Standuply has the cheapest paid plan at $1.50 per user a month billed annually for teams of 1 to 4 users.

This list is for remote and distributed teams that want to replace the daily standup call with written check-ins inside Slack. A standup bot sends each person a few questions on their own schedule, collects the answers and posts a report to a channel, so nobody has to join a call across time zones. We compared documented features and published prices for 9 standup bots and scored each on capabilities, ease of setup and value. Prices are the cheapest paid plan in US dollars as shown on each vendor's pricing page when we checked it. Most bots charge per participant, but StandupBot and Kollabe charge a flat fee and Steady charges for usage, so compare the spec sheet against your team size.

    Geekbot

    Async standup, poll and survey bot for Slack and Microsoft Teams, free for teams of up to 10 users.

    Quoted from the Geekbot pricing page on November 9, 2026: Basic plan Standups 17% OFF $ 2.5 /participant/month

    Geekbot is built around one job: asking each teammate a few questions in Slack or Microsoft Teams and sharing the answers with the team. The Starter plan is free for teams of up to 10 users and already includes unlimited standups, full schedule customization, personal schedules, out-of-office periods and an analytics dashboard with participation rates and blocker categories. Basic costs $2.50 per participant a month on annual billing or $3 monthly, and adds threaded reports, engagement summaries, anonymous reporting, API access, CSV exports, Geekbot AI and unlimited history. Polls and surveys are billed separately per respondent, so a team that only runs standups pays only for standups. Geekbot also connects to AI agents through an MCP server and a CLI. The gaps are history on the free plan, which stops at 3 months, and calendar and project tool integrations, which the pricing page lists under Enterprise.

    What it does well

    • +The free Starter plan covers teams of up to 10 users with full standup customization
    • +You pay once per person a month, not per standup
    • +Out-of-office periods pause questions while someone is away

    Where it falls short

    • −Starter keeps only 3 months of reporting history
    • −API access, CSV exports and threaded reports need the Basic plan
    • −Jira, Google Calendar and Asana integration is listed for Enterprise

    Quoted from the DailyBot pricing page on November 9, 2026: Essentials $2.40 /active user /mo per user

    DailyBot treats the standup as one of several team habits. Check-ins run in Slack, Microsoft Teams, Google Chat or Discord, and the same bot handles kudos, forms, recurring workflows and chat commands. The free Starter plan includes the daily standup features and the Kudos product for unlimited members, but compiles up to 50 check-in reports per organization a month and keeps 14 days of history. Essentials costs $2.40 per active user a month on annual billing or $3 monthly, adds integrations and keeps 6 months of history. Advanced at $5 adds unlimited history, multiple workspaces, a public API, AI workflows and analytics for AI agents. DailyBot leans into agents: a CLI and a skill pack for Cursor, Claude Code and Codex let coding agents report progress and blockers next to human updates. That breadth is the reason to pick it, and also the trade-off, since a team that only wants a plain standup gets more product than it needs.

    What it does well

    • +Covers four chat apps, including Discord and Google Chat
    • +Unlimited members on every plan, billed by active user
    • +Advanced adds AI workflows, a public API and agent analytics

    Where it falls short

    • −Starter caps compiled check-in reports at 50 per organization each month
    • −History is 14 days on Starter and 6 months on Essentials
    • −Multiple workspaces per organization need Advanced

    Standuply

    Standup bot for Slack and Microsoft Teams that also automates retros, backlog grooming, planning poker and surveys.

    Price

    Free for 3 users; Team from $1.50 per user per month billed annually (1 to 4 users) or $2 monthly; Business from $3.50

    Quoted from the Standuply pricing page on November 9, 2026: TEAM $1.5 /mo Automation for selected number of users

    Standuply goes beyond the daily standup into the rest of the Scrum calendar. In Slack or Microsoft Teams it runs scheduled standups and retrospectives, gathers estimates for planning poker, flags stale tasks for backlog grooming and sends 360 degree feedback surveys. Answers can be text, voice or video, which is unusual among standup bots. The free Starter plan covers 3 respondents. Team starts at $1.50 per user a month on annual billing for 1 to 4 users, or $2 monthly, and the per-user rate climbs with team size. Team adds web report history, time zone scheduling, conditional questions, multi-reminders, an analytics dashboard and email summaries. Business starts at $3.50 per user annually and adds deeper Jira, Trello, GitHub and Asana surveys, planning poker and priority support. A flat-fee model with unlimited users is also available. The interface packs in many features, so setup takes a little longer than with single-purpose bots.

    What it does well

    • +Lowest per-user entry price on this list for small teams
    • +Voice and video answers suit teams that prefer talking to typing
    • +A flat-fee option covers unlimited users for larger companies

    Where it falls short

    • −The free plan covers only 3 respondents
    • −Per-user prices rise with team size, to $2.50 annually for 30+ users on Team
    • −Advanced Jira, Trello, GitHub and Asana surveys need Business

    Troopr

    Jira-connected assistant for Slack and Microsoft Teams whose Check-ins module drafts each standup update from real work activity.

    Price

    Free for 10 seats; Standard $6 per seat per month billed annually or $8 monthly

    Quoted from the Troopr pricing page on November 9, 2026: $6 per seat / month Billed annually. $8 if billed monthly.

    Troopr Check-ins aims to make the standup mostly write itself. For each person it drafts an update from their Jira, GitHub and Slack activity and sends it by DM to confirm or edit. If nobody replies in the window, it posts the draft marked as auto-generated, so the standup does not wait on one person. The team report goes to the channel with a summary on top, per-person detail in the thread, and blockers and the critical path highlighted. Troopr can also sit in a live standup call, take notes and propose Jira updates afterward. Check-ins comes bundled with Troopr Projects for Jira issues in Slack and Routines for scheduled reports. Free covers 10 seats with every feature; Standard is $6 per seat a month on annual billing or $8 monthly, and only people who take action need a seat. The value depends on Jira: teams that track work elsewhere get less from the drafting.

    What it does well

    • +Every feature is on every plan, including Free
    • +Only people who take action need a seat; readers are free
    • +Standups and teams are unlimited on every plan

    Where it falls short

    • −Highest per-seat price among the per-user bots here
    • −Most useful for teams that already work in Jira
    • −Free plan includes only 3 synced channels and 3 scheduled routines

    Price

    Free for 12 users; Pro $8 per team member per month, billed month to month

    Quoted from the Range pricing page on November 9, 2026: Pro $8 per team member Most popular

    Range treats the standup as part of how a team runs, not a standalone bot. Check-ins go out through Slack or Microsoft Teams, each person shares what they did and plan to do, and flags call out anyone who is blocked or needs feedback. Range Sync for Chrome can pull recent work from connected tools into the check-in. Around that sit meeting agendas with notes and action items, team goals with reminders, a team directory, mood sharing and more than 350 team-building questions. The free plan covers 12 users with check-ins, meetings and unlimited integrations, but limits history to 30 days and customization to 2 teams. Pro costs $8 per team member a month, month to month, and adds unlimited teams, goals and history, private check-ins, private meetings and guest users. That price is high if all you need is a standup, but fair if Range replaces a separate meeting notes or goals tool.

    What it does well

    • +The free plan covers 12 users, the most on this list
    • +Unlimited integrations on every plan
    • +Pro is month to month with no annual commitment

    Where it falls short

    No free plan; Small $15.83 per month billed yearly ($190) or $19 monthly for up to 20 active users

    Quoted from the StandupBot pricing page on November 9, 2026: Small Small teams getting started. $19 $15.83 /month $190 billed yearly

    StandupBot does the standup and little else, which is its appeal. It sends scheduled questions to each person in Slack or Microsoft Teams in their own time zone, collects the answers, writes an AI summary for the channel and keeps a searchable history of past meetings. Pricing is by tier rather than by seat: Small covers up to 20 active users for $15.83 a month billed yearly or $19 monthly, Medium covers up to 50 for $40.83 yearly or $49 monthly, and Large has no user cap at $107.50 a month yearly. Every tier includes unlimited standups, email reports, multiple admins and the meeting archive, so you only move up when the team grows. There is no free plan, only a 14-day trial, and anyone who participates in or follows a meeting counts toward the user limit. For a team of 15 to 20 people the flat price works out cheaper than most per-seat bots.

    What it does well

    • +Flat tiers keep the bill the same as a team grows within a tier
    • +Same price on Slack and Microsoft Teams
    • +Every tier has the same feature set, so there is no feature upsell

    Where it falls short

    • −No free plan, only a 14-day trial
    • −Anyone who follows a meeting counts as an active user
    • −Fewer extras than polls, retros or goals tools

    Free up to 3 users; Pro $1.99 per user per month for larger teams

    Quoted from the Standup Alice pricing page on November 9, 2026: Teams larger than 3 $1.99 /user/month

    Standup Alice is a no-frills bot for teams that only need questions asked and answers shared. It runs in Slack, Microsoft Teams, Google Chat and Cisco Webex, which is the widest set of enterprise chat apps on this list. The free Basic plan covers up to 3 users with 3 standard questions. Pro costs $1.99 per user a month and adds custom questions, daily or weekly schedules and Webex support. Summaries go out at a set time to one or more channels and by email, threads keep the summary readable, and the bot handles multiple teams, multiple Slack workspaces and Slack Connect shared channels. An Enterprise tier offers invoice billing and custom contract terms for companies with formal procurement. What is missing is anything beyond the standup: the vendor does not publish analytics, AI summaries or integrations with task trackers, so teams that want blockers linked to tickets should look at Standuply or Troopr.

    What it does well

    • +Low flat per-user price
    • +Works in four chat apps, including Cisco Webex
    • +Vendor says setup takes about 5 minutes

    Where it falls short

    • −Free plan limits standups to 3 standard questions and 3 users
    • −No published analytics, AI summaries or task tool integrations

    No free plan; credit packs from $25 per month for 500 credits, unlimited users

    Quoted from the Steady pricing page on November 9, 2026: 500 credits $25/month

    Steady, which statushero.com now redirects to, prices by usage rather than by person. You buy coordination credits, starting at $25 a month for 500, and every plan includes unlimited users and all features. A Smart Check-in delivered to one person costs 1 credit, so a check-in for 5 people costs 5 credits, while goal updates and AI answers cost 5 credits each and LLM tokens are billed in blocks. Smart Check-ins go out through Slack or Microsoft Teams and pull in activity from tools such as GitHub, Jira, Linear and Asana, so updates carry context without extra typing. A Daily Digest, Goal Stories and Echoes AI agents build on those check-ins, and an API, CLI and MCP server connect Steady to scripts and agents. Credits do not expire while the account is active, and each new user brings 100 free credits. The trade-off is predictability: you have to estimate usage to know your bill.

    What it does well

    • +No per-user charge; all features on every credit pack
    • +Credits do not expire while the account is active
    • +Long list of activity integrations, from GitHub to Zendesk

    Where it falls short

    • −Credit math is harder to predict than a per-seat price
    • −AI features such as Echoes use credits faster than check-ins
    • −More of a coordination platform than a simple standup bot

    Quoted from the Kollabe pricing page on November 9, 2026: Premium For teams looking for a more robust solution. $ 29 .00 USD per space / month

    Kollabe started with retrospectives and planning poker and now runs standups too. On Premium, its Slack bot DMs each team member the standup questions at a set time, they reply in plain English in the thread, AI splits the reply into answers, and a summary posts to the channel. Teams can also update a shared web standup room, with image and video attachments. The free plan includes unlimited standup rooms for up to 10 participants with 30 days of history and limited AI summaries, but Slack submission needs Premium. Premium costs $29 per space a month or $290 a year, where a space is one team, and includes unlimited members, full history, all AI tools, Jira, GitHub, Azure DevOps and Linear integrations, an MCP server and a public API, along with unlimited retros and planning poker. For one team running all three rituals, that is fair. For a standup alone, or for a company with many teams, per-user bots cost less.

    What it does well

    • +One flat price per team, with unlimited team members on Premium
    • +Bundles standups, retros and planning poker
    • +Free Premium for registered nonprofits and schools

Before you pick a product or a plan

Count who actually answers

Per-user prices apply to people who post updates, not everyone who reads them. Geekbot bills unique participants, DailyBot bills active users and Troopr bills only people who take action, so readers stay free. StandupBot counts anyone who participates or follows a meeting toward its tier limits.

Check how long the free plan keeps history

Free tiers differ more on history than on standups. Geekbot Starter keeps 3 months of reports, Range Free keeps 30 days, Kollabe Free keeps 30 days of standups and DailyBot Starter keeps 14 days with up to 50 compiled reports a month. Standuply and Standup Alice limit free use to 3 users instead.

Decide how much the bot should write for people

Classic bots ask questions and post the answers. Troopr drafts each update from Jira, GitHub and Slack activity and posts it if someone does not reply, Steady fills check-ins from connected tools, and Kollabe parses plain-English replies with AI. Drafting saves typing but needs tool access.

Match the chat apps your company uses

Every bot here runs in Slack. Most also support Microsoft Teams, which matters if part of the company uses it. DailyBot adds Google Chat and Discord, Standup Alice adds Google Chat and Cisco Webex, and Kollabe works in Slack and its own web rooms.

Compare annual and monthly billing

Annual plans are cheaper. Geekbot is $2.50 per participant annually against $3 monthly, DailyBot Essentials is $2.40 against $3, Troopr is $6 against $8 and Standuply Team starts at $1.50 against $2. Range bills month to month only, at $8 per team member.

Questions readers ask

What is the best Slack standup bot?
Geekbot is our top pick for most remote teams: it is free for up to 10 users and costs $2.50 per participant a month on annual billing after that. DailyBot is the best alternative if you also want kudos, forms and workflows, from $2.40 per active user a month billed annually.
Is there a free standup bot for Slack?
Yes. Range is free for up to 12 users, Geekbot and Troopr are free for up to 10, and Standuply and Standup Alice are free for 3. DailyBot has a free Starter plan with up to 50 compiled reports a month. StandupBot and Steady have no free plan.
How much does a Slack standup bot cost?
Per-user plans on this list start at $1.50 a month at Standuply and $1.99 at Standup Alice, and reach $6 at Troopr and $8 at Range. StandupBot charges a flat $15.83 a month billed yearly for up to 20 active users, Kollabe charges $29 per team space and Steady starts at $25 a month for 500 credits.
Can a standup bot write updates for my team?
Some can. Troopr drafts each update from Jira, GitHub and Slack activity and posts it if someone does not reply, Steady pulls activity from connected tools into Smart Check-ins, and Kollabe uses AI to turn plain-English replies into structured answers.
Which standup bots work in Microsoft Teams as well as Slack?
Geekbot, DailyBot, Standuply, Troopr, Range, StandupBot, Standup Alice and Steady all list Microsoft Teams. DailyBot also supports Google Chat and Discord, and Standup Alice supports Google Chat and Cisco Webex.
