TL;DR
planningpoker.com (Mountain Goat) is a focused room with guest access, Jira support, CSV/XML import, and paid capacity up to 50 players. Pokor adds Notion and GitHub import plus write-back, Slack and Discord entry points, async voting, rationale and confidence, retrospectives, exports, and cross-session analytics — for a flat €5.99/mo organizer subscription with voters free.
Who should pick which
Pokor fits when…
- Your backlog lives in Jira, Notion, or GitHub and you want supported estimates to flow back.
- You run async refinement across time zones and need voting to work over hours, not minutes.
- You want analytics, retrospectives, and similar-story suggestions — not just a round-by-round room.
- You care about EU data residency and an organizer-only pricing model.
Consider planningpoker.com when…
- You only need a standalone voting room and don’t have a backlog tool to connect.
- Your team is already trained on planningpoker.com and switching cost outweighs the gain.

Common questions
Does Pokor really write estimates back to Jira?
Yes. Pokor uses Atlassian OAuth and writes each finalized estimate to the Jira story points field in real time. Configure the field once in Settings → Integrations; the rest is automatic. See the Jira integration →
Why is Pokor cheaper?
Only the Pokor organizer pays — €5.99/mo or €59.99/yr — while voters and spectators remain free. planningpoker.com supports 5 players on Free, 10 on its $14.95/mo Standard plan, and 50 on its $49.95/mo Pro plan. See Pokor pricing →
Can I import my existing backlog?
Yes — Jira, Notion databases, GitHub issues, and CSV. All imports are one-click from the session creator after you connect the integration.
Is Pokor hosted in the EU?
Pokor documents EU-hosted application infrastructure in its security and trust pages. The planningpoker.com pages reviewed for this comparison did not state a hosting region, so teams with a residency requirement should confirm it directly with that provider.
