Pokorvs PlanITpoker

Real Jira sync,
not manual XML uploads

PlanITpoker's Jira integration is a one-way XML file import you re-upload every refinement. Pokor connects via OAuth, imports issues live, and writes estimates back to the story-points field automatically.

TL;DR

PlanITpoker's free tier covers up to 7 participants and Premium is $20/mo for unlimited; Jira is supported via XML file imports and there's no story-point write-back, async mode, or Slack/Discord. Pokor is €5.99/mo for the organizer with voters always free, OAuth-based Jira write-back, async voting, plus Notion/GitHub/Slack/Discord, retrospectives, exports and cross-session analytics.

Honest take

Who should pick which

Pokor fits when…

  • You actually live in Jira and don’t want to re-upload an XML file every refinement.
  • Your team has more than 7 voters and you don’t want to upgrade just to fit them in a room.
  • You estimate from Notion, GitHub, Slack or Discord — not just Jira and CSV.
  • You want async voting, retrospectives, exports and cross-session analytics out of the box.

Consider PlanITpoker when…

  • You estimate occasionally with ≤7 voters and PlanITpoker’s free tier is genuinely all you need.
  • A one-time XML import is fine — you don’t care about live two-way Jira sync.
  • You already pay for EasyRetro for retrospectives and prefer to keep estimation in the same family.

FAQ

Common questions

What's the difference between PlanITpoker's Jira XML import and Pokor's Jira sync?

PlanITpoker imports stories via Jira XML — you export an XML from Jira, upload it to a session, and estimates stay inside PlanITpoker. Pokor uses Atlassian OAuth: stories load live from your selected JQL or board, and every finalized estimate writes back to the Jira story-points field automatically. No round-tripping files. See the Jira integration →

Why is Pokor cheaper for a 10-person team?

Only the organizer pays — €5.99/mo or €59.99/yr. Voters and spectators are always free, no participant cap. PlanITpoker's free tier caps at 7 voters, so any team larger than that pays $20/mo just to add the 8th. See full pricing →

Does Pokor support async voting like PlanITpoker?

Async voting is a Pokor feature; PlanITpoker doesn't advertise it. In Pokor, an async session lets voters cast a card any time over hours or days; the round auto-reveals when everyone has voted, and the estimate writes back to your backlog when finalized.

Does Pokor have retrospectives?

Yes — every session gets a retrospective view with fast-consensus stories, wide-spread stories, re-voted stories and per-voter confidence averages. PlanITpoker keeps retros in a separate paid product (EasyRetro).

Stop re-uploading XML files

Connect Jira once via OAuth, import live, and watch estimates flow back automatically — no XML round-trips.
