Pokorvs Planning Poker Online

One tool, one bill —
Jira sync included

Planning Poker Online splits Jira into a separately priced Atlassian Marketplace plugin. Pokor's Jira write-back is built into the €5.99/mo Organizer plan, alongside Notion, GitHub, Slack and Discord.

TL;DR

Planning Poker Online is $30/facilitator/mo (or $300/yr) with a brutal free tier — only 9 votes and 5 issues per game. Jira lives in a separate Marketplace plugin you pay for separately; the web app integrates Linear, GitHub and Azure DevOps. Pokor is €5.99/mo for the organizer with voters always free, async voting, Notion + GitHub + Slack + Discord built in, and a free tier with unlimited active sessions.

Honest take

Who should pick which

Pokor fits when…

  • You don't want a separate Marketplace plugin and bill just to use Jira during refinement.
  • You're upgrading purely because of the 9-vote / 5-issue free-tier cap — €5.99/mo is cheaper than $30.
  • You need async voting, Notion / Slack / Discord and exports — all not advertised on Planning Poker Online.
  • You estimate at most occasionally and the 6-week game expiry on the free tier is annoying you.

Consider Planning Poker Online when…

  • Your team uses Linear or Azure DevOps and you want native integration with both.
  • You need multiple facilitators per game with shared controls.
  • You specifically want ISO 27001 certification on the planning-poker product itself.
FAQ

Common questions

Is Planning Poker Online's Jira integration really a separate product?

Yes. The web app at planningpokeronline.com does not include Jira — Jira sync ships as a separate Atlassian Marketplace plugin with separate pricing (per-Jira-user, billed via Atlassian). Pokor includes Jira OAuth + write-back in the standard €5.99/mo Organizer plan, no Marketplace install. See the Jira integration →

How do the free tiers compare?

Planning Poker Online's free tier allows 9 votings and 5 issues per game, with games expiring after 6 weeks. Pokor's free tier is unlimited — unlimited active sessions per organizer, unlimited voters, real-time voting, Slack & Discord, and guest access — sessions don't expire on a fixed schedule. See full pricing →

What does Pokor have that Planning Poker Online doesn't?

Async voting, vote rationale + confidence, Notion database imports, GitHub write-back, CSV in the main app, Slack & Discord slash commands, a per-session retrospective view, cross-session analytics, similar-story suggestions, and PDF + CSV exports. All included in the €5.99/mo Organizer plan.

What does Planning Poker Online have that Pokor doesn't?

Linear and Azure DevOps integrations, multi-facilitator per game with shared controls, and an ISO 27001 certification on the platform. Pokor is GDPR with EU data residency on Hetzner, not yet ISO 27001 certified.
