Remote startups
Open a room. Vote in five minutes. Get back to code.
Five engineers across three time zones, no dedicated scrum master, half the team writing code at any given moment. You don't need enterprise process — you need estimation that adds zero overhead.

The problem
Why most planning poker tools don't fit remote startups
Enterprise estimation tools assume a dedicated facilitator, scheduled ceremonies, and per-seat licensing for everyone in the room. Remote startups have none of those. You need a tool that lets a developer create a room mid-thread on Slack, an async voting flow when nobody can sync, and pricing where voters join free — only the facilitator pays.
Tracker sync
Import from Linear or Jira. Write estimates back.
- Import stories directly from Linear, Jira, or GitHub — no copy-paste.
- Agreed estimate writes back as story points when the round closes.
- Your tracker stays the source of truth — no fourth tool for the team to learn.
- Up to 20 participants per room on Pro — enough for a whole startup engineering team.
AI when you need it
AI stands in for the scrum master you don't have
AI estimate suggestions give a starting number when no one wants to go first. Story decomposition splits oversized stories without a refinement meeting. Completeness scoring flags stories that need more detail before voting starts. The AI Discussion Facilitator (Team plan) surfaces disagreement without needing a human moderator.
Pricing
Flat fee for the facilitator — voters always free
Per-seat tools charge for everyone in the room. Plandeck charges only the facilitator — your teammates join with no account and never count toward billing. Start free, upgrade when the team grows.
