What Geekbot is
Geekbot runs asynchronous standups, polls and surveys in Slack and Microsoft Teams. Standups schedule team check-ins, gather updates and share reports to help teams follow progress and blockers. Notifications can be timed to each participant’s local time zone, and people can choose their own reporting times. Poll features include anonymous responses, multiple voting, scheduled polls, visualized results and AI-generated options. Ask Geekbot answers natural-language questions using Geekbot reports and poll or survey votes as its source data. Optional integrations listed for its AI features include Google Calendar, Jira, Asana, GitLab and GitHub. The Starter plan is free for up to 10 users; teams exceeding 10 active participants need to upgrade. Starter reporting history is limited to three months, while paid plans include unlimited history. The Basic plan offers API access, CSV exports and a 30-day trial. Geekbot says it uses TLS encryption in transit and at rest, supports data removal on request, and is ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified. The web service also offers an API.

The full review of Geekbot
Geekbot runs asynchronous standups, polls and surveys in Slack and Microsoft Teams. It suits teams that want recurring check-ins and lightweight decision-making inside those collaboration tools. Its free tier is useful for small teams, but the 10-user cap and paid standup charges make growth a pricing consideration.
Overview
Geekbot schedules check-ins, gathers updates and shares reports, giving teams a way to follow progress and blockers without requiring everyone to meet at once. Notifications can follow each participant’s local time zone, and people can personalize their reporting times—useful for distributed teams, though it still depends on members responding to prompts.
Beyond standups, Geekbot supports polls and surveys, including anonymous polls and multiple-vote options. Ask Geekbot can answer natural-language questions from reports and poll or survey votes, so its answers draw on team activity captured in the product rather than general knowledge.
Key features
Check-ins and reporting
Recurring schedules, agenda templates, action-item and decision tracking, and outcome reporting support a continuing team workflow rather than a one-off status form. Reports help teams review updates and blockers; Starter’s three-month history, however, limits how far back free users can look.
Polls and AI answers
Polls can be scheduled, allow anonymous or multiple votes, and visualize results. AI-generated poll options can help get a poll started, while Ask Geekbot gives teams a way to query their own reports and vote data. These features are most useful when teams regularly collect that information in Geekbot.
Integrations and safeguards
Geekbot integrates with Slack and Microsoft Teams. Its AI help page also lists optional Google Calendar, Jira, Asana, GitLab and GitHub integrations. Basic includes API access and CSV exports; reports can also be exported as CSV. Geekbot says it encrypts data in transit and at rest using TLS, supports removal on request, and conducts routine third-party audits and testing. It states that it is ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified and complies with applicable GDPR, UK-GDPR, CCPA and PCI requirements.
Pricing
Geekbot uses a freemium model. Starter is free for up to 10 users, and teams with more than 10 active participants need to upgrade. It includes up to three months of reporting history, so it is a reasonable starting point for a small team but not a fit for larger groups or long-term report retention.
Basic has separate charges for standups and polls. Basic — Standups costs $2.50 per participant per month with annual billing or $3 per participant per month with monthly billing, charged for each active standup participant. Basic — Polls & Surveys costs $0.75 per unique respondent per month annually or $1 per respondent per month monthly; there is no charge in a month with no polls. The separate pricing makes the poll option inexpensive for occasional use, while recurring standups can cost more as active participation grows. Basic offers a free 30-day trial and unlimited reporting history.
Enterprise has custom pricing and includes volume discounts, enterprise ecosystem integration, enhanced data storage, managed cloud services and custom security assessments. It also adds priority support with faster responses and around-the-clock assistance, a dedicated account manager and onboarding. Those services are aimed at organizations that need support and deployment options beyond the self-serve plans.
Platforms
Geekbot is listed for web and API. Its workflows connect to Slack and Microsoft Teams, with optional integrations including Google Calendar, Jira, Asana, GitLab and GitHub.
Who it's for
Geekbot fits engineering leads, product owners, CEOs and founders, operations officers, and sales and marketing managers who want regular updates or team polls without making every check-in a meeting. It is less compelling for a team that does not use Slack or Microsoft Teams, or one that needs more than 10 free users.
Pros and cons
- Pros: Time-zone-aware scheduling and personalized reporting times suit teams working across locations.
- Pros: Standups, polls, surveys and questions about captured team data bring several asynchronous workflows together.
- Pros: Polls & Surveys has no monthly charge when no polls are run, which favors teams with occasional needs.
- Cons: Starter stops at 10 users and keeps only three months of reporting history, limiting its usefulness as a growing team’s long-term archive.
- Cons: Standup billing is per active participant, so the cost scales with participation rather than being a flat team fee.
- Cons: Separate standup and poll pricing requires teams using both to account for two billing measures.
Alternatives
For a broader comparison, see Daily Standup Software, Meeting Management Software and Survey Software.
Asyncmate is another freemium option with a free plan for up to 10 active teammates; consider it if you want to compare a web-based alternative. DailyBot offers a free Starter plan with unlimited members but caps compiled check-in reports at 50 per organization each month, making it worth considering if member count matters more than report volume. DailyStand has a free plan for one team and five members with seven-day history, a more constrained starting point for teams prioritizing its self-hosted option.
DailyStandup offers a free plan for up to five members, one team and seven-day history, so it is an option for a smaller group seeking daily AI summaries. Estimioo may suit teams focused on estimation sessions: its free plan allows 10 participants and five sessions per month. StandupSync offers a month-to-month Pro plan at $9.00 per month for up to 50 members, which may appeal to teams wanting a stated member allowance without annual billing.
Team O'clock is worth comparing if retrospective activities are central; its Growth plan is $3.00 per active member and starts at 10 monthly active members. Openbook offers a free plan with unlimited rooms and members to start, making it another option for teams prioritizing room-based standups.
Verdict
Geekbot is a strong fit for teams already working in Slack or Microsoft Teams that want recurring asynchronous check-ins, polls and searchable answers from their team’s own reports and votes. Its flexible timing and bundled workflows are the main reasons to choose it. Look elsewhere if a free plan must support more than 10 users, or if per-participant standup charges do not suit your budget as participation grows.
