Estimioo

AI-powered planning poker, retrospectives and standups for agile teams

Overall score
4.8

Overview

Estimioo is a lightweight, browser-based agile-ceremony tool that bundles AI-assisted planning poker and a 42-format sprint retrospective board into one shared workspace. Estimation is still the centre of gravity, but the retro board caught up in September 2026: optional Writing → Voting → Discuss phases with a shared timer, anonymous sessions or single anonymous cards, host-led card grouping, a 3–10 vote budget, action-item owners, and a carry-over banner fed by the host's personal action tracker. A Claude-powered summary returns team mood, key themes and ranked action items. What it still lacks is blind brainstorming, recurring retros, health-check trends and any retro export beyond a clipboard recap.

Best for: Small, distributed agile teams who want AI-assisted planning poker and a capable 42-format retro board in one workspace for a flat $7 a month — and who can live without blind brainstorming, recurring retros, health-check trends or real Slack, Teams and retro-side Jira integrations.

How Estimioo describes itself

Estimioo pitches itself as one AI-powered workspace for every sprint ceremony — planning poker, retrospectives and async standups — for distributed agile teams tired of paying for three tools.

"Planning poker, retrospectives & standups. Powered by AI."

Price is the blunt hook, and they lean on it hard:

"One person pays, the whole team uses it. No per-seat nonsense."

Scale is the newer one. The homepage now opens with 450+ teams across 30+ countries, a 4.8 rating and a scrolling logo wall naming Accenture, Deloitte, Thoughtworks and Xero. A cartoon companion, "Meet Estimioo", reacts to card reveals and retro activity to keep remote ceremonies from going quiet.

Our take

Estimioo is a planning-poker tool whose retro board caught up fast. As of October 2026 the board covers most of what a facilitator needs in the room: 42 one-click formats, optional Writing → Voting → Discuss phases with a shared timer and a done-writing signal, anonymous sessions, host-led grouping, a 3–10 vote budget, owners on action items, and a Claude summary returning mood, themes and ranked actions. Card reactions, a GIF chat, twelve audio tracks and 340+ icebreakers make it livelier than its $7 price suggests.

The gaps sit around the retro rather than inside it. Cards show the moment they're written, so there's no blind brainstorm. Carry-over runs through the host's personal action tracker rather than a team record, and nothing recurs or trends: Team Radar scores one session at a time. Slack and Teams are clipboard buttons, Jira stays in planning poker, and a retro exports nothing but a pasted recap.

Buy it for cheap estimation with a genuinely usable retro attached — not for a retro practice that has to show trends or feed your tracker.

Pros

  • + Genuinely cheap — flat $7/workspace/mo with unlimited participants, plus a usable free tier; guests join by link or QR with no signup, in five UI languages
  • + A real facilitation flow: optional Writing → Voting → Discuss phases with a done-writing signal, host-led card grouping, a 3–10 vote budget and owners on action items
  • + Anonymous sessions (or a single anonymous card on a named board), and open actions from earlier retros resurface as a banner when the host starts the next one
  • + Unusually fun for the price: 340+ synced icebreakers, twelve ambient and music tracks, emoji reactions on cards and an in-session chat with GIFs
  • + One-click Claude retro summary returns team mood, key themes and ranked action items with Add all to board

Cons

  • − No blind brainstorm — cards appear to everyone as they're written, so the retro page's write first, discuss second pitch rests on the facilitator, not the tool
  • − Follow-through belongs to the host, not the team: carry-over runs through a personal action tracker, nothing recurs or can be scheduled, and Team Radar scores don't trend across retros
  • − Thin integrations: Slack and Teams are copy-to-clipboard buttons, Jira is planning-poker only, Linear is still "on the way", and a retro exports nothing but a pasted recap — no API, webhooks or MCP
  • − No SOC 2, ISO 27001, DPA or data-residency option, and while Enterprise lists SSO, the shipped sign-in offers only Google and email
  • − Social proof is entirely unattributed — 450+ teams, a 4.8 rating and a logo wall naming Accenture, Deloitte, Thoughtworks and Xero, with no G2, Capterra or Product Hunt listing to corroborate any of it

Features

Retrospectives

Templates· 42 retro formats, one click each (Start/Stop/Continue, Sailboat, Mad/Sad/Glad, 4Ls, Starfish, DAKI, Rose/Thorn/Bud, 5 Whys, Lean Coffee, Sprint Timeline and more) — counted in the shipped catalog, which holds 45 templates in total, three of which are Sprint Planning, Backlog Refinement and Daily Standup boards rather than retro formats. Marketing rounds this to "45 retro templates"Custom templates· Host can add, rename and remove columns, then Save as template to a personal My Templates list for reuse (signed-in hosts); the format can only be switched before anyone adds a cardAnonymous input· Host can make a whole retro anonymous at creation (names and avatars hidden on every card), or a participant can post a single card anonymously on a named board; the card record still carries the author's user ID, so authorship is hidden in the interface rather than unrecorded

Health checks

Health checks· In-session only: the Team Radar format has everyone score each dimension 1–10 with live averages, while the Team Health Check template is a column preset; no recurring cadence or trend across retrosTeam radars· Team Radar format plots the team's average 1–10 score per dimension as a live radar chart, one session at a timeMood / sentiment check· The AI retro summary gives each session one team-mood verdict (Positive / Neutral / Needs Attention), and Weather Report and Energy Levels are mood-themed column presets; nothing is tracked across retros

Facilitation

Meeting timer· Shared countdown with 2–25-minute presets, pause and resume; each facilitated phase (Writing, Voting, Discuss) can also start it at 2, 5 or 10 minutesAction items· Dedicated Action Items column plus Flag as action item on any card; an owner is picked from the participant list, and a signed-in user can save the flagged actions to a personal tracker with To Do / In Progress / Done status. Due dates exist only on items added in the trackerLink actions to ideas· Flagging keeps the action on its original card, and actions saved to the tracker record their source retro and cardDrag-and-drop groupingCarry over open actions· When the host opens a new retro, a banner lists open action items from previous retros with their owners; it draws on the host's personal tracker, so only actions the host saved there carry overFacilitator-only grouping· Grouping is always host-only — a participant's drag just reorders cards; not configurableAsync mode· A retro board can be left open for staggered input ahead of the live discussion (phases are optional), but Free sessions expire after 1 hour

Voting

Independent dot voting· Optional host-set budget of 3, 5, 7 or 10 votes per person with a votes-remaining counter (off by default, which means unlimited); one vote per card, and running tallies are visible to everyoneCustom vote count· Host picks a budget of 3, 5, 7 or 10 votes per person, or OffVote at any time· With phases off, voting stays open all session; once the host starts facilitated phases, voting is locked to the Voting phaseVote on ideas inside groups

Engagement

Mobile friendly· Browser-based; QR-code join for guestsROTI feedback· Leaving or ending a retro prompts "How was this retrospective session?" on a five-point emoji scale (Not great to Loved it!) with an optional comment; responses are stored with the retro, but no results view exists anywhere in the appTeam agreements· Working Agreements is one of the 42 retro formats — a column preset, not a persistent, revisitable agreements listIcebreakers· Every retro opens with a synced icebreaker drawn from 340+ questions — same question for every participant, host can shuffle, skippableGIFs· GIF picker (Klipy) in the in-session chat; GIFs can't be placed on cardsEmoji reactionsMusic· Twelve host-selectable audio tracks during a session — six synthesised ambient soundscapes (Café, Forest, Campfire, Deep Focus, Zen Drone, White Noise) plus six music beds (Sunshine jam, Uptempo funk, Smooth groove, Calm flow, Chill beats, Cosmic vibe)Planning poker· Core feature — Fibonacci, Modified Fibonacci, T-shirt, Powers of 2; hidden votes until reveal

AI

AI action items· An AI Action Items block with Add to board per item and a one-click Add all to board; the public demo returns a client-side mock rather than a live model call, so the quality of real suggestions could not be verified without an accountAI summary· One-click Claude summary per retro — team mood, per-column recap, key themes and ranked action priorities, with Re-summarise on paid; capped at one summary per retro on Free. Signed-in sessions post to a /api/ai-retro-summary endpoint, but the public demo substitutes a canned mockAI sentiment / heatmaps· The AI summary reports one team-mood verdict per retro (Positive / Neutral / Needs Attention) with a short rationale; nothing is tracked across retrosMetered AI (credits / quota)· Free: 5 AI estimates a month and one AI summary per retro; Team: 5 AI estimates per session; unlimited AI estimation only on the quote-only Enterprise tier

Enterprise

Facilitator-only role· Host-only controls: advance phases, group cards, set the vote budget, generate the AI summary, remove participants and end the session; in planning poker the host reveals votesGuest / observer roles· Guests join without signup by link or QR code, name only; only the host needs an accountMeeting history· Unlimited session history on Team; Free sessions expire after 1 hourLanguages· 5 (English, German, Spanish, French, Portuguese)

Integrations

Jira· Planning poker only (Team plan, host): connect by OAuth or API token, import a queue with JQL or paste an issue URL to preview, and the shipped app sends the locked estimate to a story-point write-back endpoint (the vendor's Jira page still calls write-back "on the roadmap"). Retros get only a free-text board link; the retrospectives page's promise to "export action items back to Jira" has no shipped retro feature behind it
