Chpokify Alternatives: 6 Planning Poker Tools Compared (2026)
Chpokify's pitch is estimation without the second window: planning poker with video calls built in, team spaces, session history, and plans from $11/month billed annually (3 teams, 15 users). The friction shows up early, though — the free tier covers just 10 users on one team and asks for payment details before you start, the headline price requires an annual commitment, and side features like retros and kanban have sat in beta for a long while.
If a card-on-file free plan is where you got off the bus, these 6 tools start friendlier — several without any signup at all.
CONFLICT OF INTEREST, DISCLOSED: we make Online Planning Poker (#1 below). Prices and limits for every entry were re-checked on July 12, 2026; where a vendor hides numbers, we say so instead of guessing.

Weighing these Chpokify alternatives
Two questions sort the list. First: do you actually use the built-in video? If your team already lives in Zoom, Meet, or Teams, the flagship feature is redundant and you're comparing on estimation alone — where friendlier free tiers win. Second: monthly or annual? The $11 price needs a year upfront; every alternative below offers monthly billing or no billing at all.
Online Planning Poker
Our pickThe anti-card-on-file option: there is no account, so there's nothing to put a card on. Create a room, share the link, and estimate with unlimited users, teams, and sessions free — hidden votes, four deck families, timers, re-votes, vote stats. Payment enters the picture only if you choose Business ($19/month flat, $190/year, 7-day trial) for two-way Jira sync, velocity tracking, session history with CSV export, persistent team rooms, and custom branding. Video stays in whatever call tool you already use.
PROS
- + Free tier needs no card, email, or account
- + No 10-user or 1-team walls
- + Monthly billing, cancel from a portal
CONS
- − No built-in video — bring your own call
- − History and team rooms are Business features
- − Sync is Jira-only
Best for: teams that want to try before identifying themselves, let alone paying.
Kollabe
Closest rivalNearly the same product shape — modern poker + retros, team spaces, 10-member free rooms — minus the payment-details hurdle and the annual lock-in. The poker plan is $12/month billed monthly with Jira, GitHub, Azure DevOps, and Linear integrations; $29/month adds retros and AI tools. No video, but a cleaner on-ramp.
PROS
- + Free without a card
- + Monthly billing at nearly the same price
- + Four backlog integrations
CONS
- − No built-in video calls
- − Same 10-member free ceiling
- − Equally young company
Best for: teams that liked the product idea but not the checkout flow.
Parabol
Grown-up suiteWhere the beta features never quite land, Parabol's shipped ones do: Sprint Poker, retrospectives, and async standups with two-way Jira/GitHub/GitLab/Azure DevOps sync, open source, free for 2 teams and 10 meetings monthly, then $8 per active user per month. No video either — but everything it advertises exists today.
PROS
- + Mature retros instead of beta ones
- + Two-way sync across four platforms
- + Open source, no card for free tier
CONS
- − Per-user pricing grows with the team
- − Accounts for everyone
- − Suite weight for a poker-first need
Best for: teams that wanted the multi-ceremony vision actually delivered.
TeamRetro
Free poker, paid retrosTeamRetro splits the bundle: its standalone planning poker is free, unlimited, and account-free, while retrospectives — its real specialty, with health checks and action tracking — start at $250/year for one team of 25 with a 30-day trial and no card upfront.
PROS
- + Uncapped free estimation, no strings
- + Best-in-class retro depth if you upgrade
- + Card-free trials
CONS
- − Poker tool stays intentionally simple
- − No video, no estimation history
- − Suite pricing aimed at retro buyers
Best for: teams whose retro needs are serious and estimation needs are simple.

Frequently asked questions
Do I really need video inside my estimation tool?
Only if your team doesn't already run ceremonies in a standing call. Most teams keep Zoom/Meet/Teams open anyway, which makes bundled video a second camera feed, not a feature. If you'd genuinely drop your call tool, the bundled approach earns its price.
Which tools here work without entering payment details?
All of them — that's the point of the list. Online Planning Poker and TeamRetro's poker don't even have accounts; Kollabe, Parabol, and PlanITpoker offer free tiers with ordinary signups and no card.
Is annual billing ever the right call?
Once you've used a tool happily for a few months, annual usually saves 15–20% — here it's $190/year vs $228 on monthly. The mistake is committing a year to a tool you haven't run ten sessions on. Start monthly or free; convert later.
