Planning Poker Online is a browser-based tool for estimating story points during sprint planning. Teams can vote together in real time or submit estimates asynchronously and reveal them later. The result table shows the spread, average, and agreement score. Built-in card decks cover Fibonacci, modified Fibonacci, powers of two, T-shirt sizes, and estimates in hours, days, or weeks; teams can also create custom decks. Players join with a display name and need no account, though the person creating a game does. The free plan allows 9 votings and 5 voted issues per game, with unlimited players and permanent game URLs. The web app supports CSV issue import and export and importing issues from pasted URLs. It connects to Linear through OAuth for importing issues and writing estimates back. Jira issue import and story-point write-back are available through a separate Jira Cloud plugin; the web app itself does not connect to Jira. Premium costs $30 per facilitator per month or $300 billed yearly and includes a 15-day trial.
