Pokorvs Planning Poker Live

Flat fee planning poker,
not credits per room

Planning Poker Live charges 1 credit every time you create a room — 5 free credits plus 1 free per month, then bundles. Pokor is one flat €5.99/mo organizer seat with unlimited sessions, no credit math.

TL;DR

Planning Poker Live is a polished, EU-hosted Firebase app with strong Jira and Linear write-back, an AI summary bot, and pay-per-room pricing (5 free credits + 1/mo, then $9–$50 bundles that don't expire). Pokor charges a flat €5.99/mo for the organizer and bundles in async voting, rationale + confidence, retrospectives, cross-session analytics, PDF/CSV exports, and Notion/GitHub/Discord integrations Planning Poker Live doesn't offer. They have SOC and ISO certs; we have EU residency and GDPR.

Honest take

Who should pick which

Pokor fits when…

  • You run regular refinement and want predictable monthly cost instead of pay-per-room credits.
  • You estimate from Notion, GitHub or CSV — not just Jira and Linear.
  • You need rationale + confidence on every vote, retros, exports and cross-session analytics.
  • Discord slash commands and a spectator role matter for your team.

Consider Planning Poker Live when…

  • You only run a handful of sessions per quarter and prefer non-expiring credit bundles.
  • Your backlog lives in Linear — Planning Poker Live has direct Linear write-back.
  • You’re on Jira Data Center (Pokor is Cloud only) or you specifically need SOC / ISO certs.
  • You want an AI summary bot at the end of each session.
FAQ

Common questions

Is Planning Poker Live really pay-per-session?

Each new room costs 1 credit. You get 5 starter credits and 1 free credit every month — fine for casual use. For regular refinement you buy non-expiring bundles ($9 / 7 credits, $17 / 15, $50 / 50). Pokor flips the model: €5.99/mo flat for the organizer with unlimited rooms and no credits to track. See pricing →

Does Pokor write estimates back to Jira like Planning Poker Live does?

Yes. Both connect via Atlassian OAuth (no Marketplace install) and push the finalized estimate to the Jira story-points field. Pick the field once in Settings → Integrations and the sync runs on every reveal. The main difference: Planning Poker Live also supports Jira Data Center; Pokor is Cloud only today. See the Jira integration →

What does Pokor have that Planning Poker Live doesn’t?

Notion database imports, GitHub issues + write-back, Discord slash commands, CSV import, a spectator role, vote rationale + confidence, a per-session retrospective view, cross-session analytics, similar-story suggestions, and PDF + CSV exports. They’re all included on the €5.99/mo Organizer plan — no add-ons.

What does Planning Poker Live have that Pokor doesn’t?

Linear import + write-back, in-session emoji reactions, an AI session summary bot (PokerBot), Jira Data Center support, and SOC 1/2/3 + ISO 27001 certifications. If any of those are dealbreakers, they’re the better fit today. Pokor is GDPR with EU data residency on Hetzner.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. Cancel from Settings or the Stripe portal. You keep Organizer features until the end of the billing period.
