SprintPoker Alternatives: 6 Estimation Apps and Tools (2026)
SprintPoker is Agile Pulse's "premium successor" to its free estimation app — a modern Jira Cloud tool with real-time and async sessions, AI complexity insights, reference-issue matching, and a quick estimation mode inside tickets, at about $0.84 per user per month for 11–100 user instances (free up to 10, 30-day trial). It's good value by Marketplace standards. The asterisks: pricing still counts every Jira user in your instance, the app is young, and — like all in-Jira estimation — nobody without a Jira license can hold a card.
Depending on which asterisk bothers you, these 6 options resolve it: deeper apps, its own free predecessor, or browser tools that ignore instance size entirely.
DISCLOSURE: Online Planning Poker publishes this page and takes the top spot. Every figure verified July 12, 2026 against vendor rate cards and Marketplace listings.

Lining up SprintPoker alternatives
Work out your real per-team cost first. At $0.84/user/month, a 40-user instance pays ~$403/year even if one squad estimates — that's the instance-counting trap in miniature. If your instance is mostly estimators, the price is honest and the main reasons to look elsewhere are maturity (it's a young app) or non-Jira voters. If your instance is mostly bystanders, flat-rate and free options make the spreadsheet very short.
Online Planning Poker
Our pickFlat where the app is per-user: free unlimited browser sessions with no accounts and no instance math, then $19/month flat ($190/year) for two-way Jira sync, velocity tracking, session history with CSV export, and persistent team rooms. That 40-user instance with one estimating squad? $190/year instead of ~$403 — and the product managers without Jira seats finally get to vote. A native Jira app on the Marketplace covers the in-issue workflow too.
PROS
- + Price ignores your Jira user count
- + Anyone joins by link, licensed or not
- + Mature core: this is all the product does
CONS
- − No async estimation mode
- − No AI complexity hints
- − Browser-first rather than issue-embedded
Best for: single-squad-in-big-instance setups — the exact case per-user Jira billing overcharges.
Planning Poker Agility
The free siblingThe obvious first question: do you need the successor at all? Agile Pulse's original app is free and unlimited with private voting, auto-reveal, and custom scales in the same design language. You lose async, AI, and quick estimation — if none of those made your shortlist, downgrade and pocket the difference.
PROS
- + Free at any instance size
- + Same vendor, painless move
- + Covers the standard ceremony
CONS
- − No async, AI, or per-ticket quick mode
- − New features won't land here
- − Still Jira-seats-only voting
Best for: teams that upgraded speculatively and use none of the premium features.
Agile Poker for Jira
The established rivalAppfire's flagship is what the young challenger is chasing: four estimation methods including async Wideband Delphi, AI insights, and the deepest analytics on the Marketplace, hardened by years of enterprise deployments. It costs accordingly — $898/year at the 25-user tier, roughly 3.5× the challenger's price at that size.
PROS
- + Battle-tested where the newcomer is not
- + Richest method and analytics set
- + Big-vendor support and roadmap
CONS
- − Multiples of the price for overlapping features
- − Same instance-wide billing model
- − Heavyweight for one squad
Best for: risk-averse orgs choosing maturity over price.
Planning Poker® by Appfire
Steady middleAppfire's focused table app: real-time voting for 30+ players, moderated or ad-hoc games, historical reference issues, at $730/year for 25 users. No async or AI — it competes on refinement and vendor trust rather than feature count.
PROS
- + Mature, polished live sessions
- + Reference issues keep estimates consistent
- + Appfire ecosystem support
CONS
- − Fewer features than the cheaper newcomer
- − No async mode at nearly 3× the cost
- − Instance-tiered pricing
Best for: live-session-only teams that want a name their admin already knows.

PROS
- + Proven at massive scale
- + Engaging, well-liked UX
- + Enterprise compliance answers ready
CONS

- − Standard Jira-seat voting restriction
Best for: teams that pick the most-installed option and move on.
Kollabe
Browser + flatThe budget browser route with a Jira connection: $12/month flat for unlimited poker synced to Jira (plus GitHub, Azure DevOps, Linear), free 10-member rooms with no signup, and AI tooling in its $29 Premium. Estimation leaves the issue view, but so does the per-user invoice.
PROS
- + Flat $144/year with Jira sync
- + Non-Jira participants welcome
- + Multi-platform integrations
CONS
- − Not embedded in Jira
- − No async mode at $12
- − Young vendor, like the app you're leaving
Best for: teams choosing between two young products and preferring the flat-priced one.
Frequently asked questions
Is $0.84/user/month actually cheap?
Per Marketplace norms, yes — a third of the flagship's rate. Per reality, it depends on your estimator-to-instance ratio: at 100% it's a bargain; at 20% (one squad in a 50-seat instance) you're paying five seats for every voter, and flat-rate tools win.
How risky is committing to a young Marketplace app?
Lower than it sounds: estimates live in Jira's story point field, not the app, so switching later costs only session history. The realistic risks are slower support and feature churn — reasonable trades at a third of the incumbent price.
Which alternative keeps async estimation?
Inside Jira: Agile Poker (Wideband Delphi mode). Outside: PlanningPoker.live and Scrumpy support async voting in the browser. The other tools on this page, ours included, are live-session designs.
