How we compared
Every tool here runs in Microsoft Teams. Facts come from each vendor's pricing page, Teams integration page and help center, linked under Sources. The tools are grouped by the kind of team they fit instead of ranked, because the right pick depends on your work tracker, which chat platforms your organization uses, and what you need beyond standups.

Teams on Azure DevOps
Three of the nine read Azure DevOps activity.
- Standly drafts each person's answer from the work items they changed since their last standup and writes their notes back as comments on the work items they mention. Answers are written in a private Teams chat. Azure DevOps is on Premium, $5 per active participant per month. Standly runs only in Teams, with no Jira, GitHub or Slack. How the Azure DevOps integration works.
- Steady syncs commits, pull requests and work items from Azure Repos and Azure Boards into each check-in. Its Teams reminder opens the Steady web app, where the check-in is written.
- ScrumGenius records Azure Repos pushes and Azure Boards work item changes next to check-in answers, and lets people reference their assigned work items when they answer.
Neither Steady nor ScrumGenius documents writing anything back to work items. Both also support Slack and Jira, which matters if part of your organization uses them.
Teams on Jira
- DailyBot: on the Advanced plan ($5 per user per month billed annually), check-ins are pre-filled with each person's open Jira tickets, and ticket status can be updated from standup answers. It also connects GitHub, Bitbucket and Linear.
- Standuply: Jira, Trello, GitHub, GitLab and Bitbucket on the Team plan, with more advanced task tracker features on Business.
- Steady and ScrumGenius also integrate with Jira.
Standly has no Jira integration.
Organizations on Slack and Teams
If some teams work in Slack, a tool that runs in both keeps one setup and one bill: Geekbot and Standuply (Slack and Teams), DailyBot (adds Google Chat and Discord), Standup Alice (adds Webex and Google Chat), ScrumGenius (adds Webex and email), Steady and Polly. On Geekbot, polls, surveys and threaded replies are Slack only. Standly runs only in Teams.
Scrum ceremonies beyond standups
- Standuply: retrospectives, planning poker, backlog grooming, 360 feedback and surveys. Its voice and video answers are documented for Slack.
- Geekbot: retro templates, and polls and surveys in Slack.
- DailyBot: kudos, mood tracking, forms and surveys.
- Polly: polls, surveys, quizzes and Q&A. Standups in Teams come from its separate AgilePolly app.
- ScrumGenius: status report and retrospective templates.
- Jell: OKRs on the Advanced plan.
Standly does standups only.
