8 best DailyBot alternatives in 2026, compared on price and free tier
DailyBot runs check-ins, standups, forms and surveys in Slack, Microsoft Teams, Google Chat and Discord. Its free Starter plan has unlimited members but caps you at 50 compiled check-in reports per organization a month with 14 days of history, and Essentials costs $2.40 per active user a month on annual billing ($3 monthly), where an active user is any member whose status is active. People look for an alternative when they hit the report cap, when per-user pricing grows with the team, when they need Telegram, or when they want each update checked against the work rather than collected. Here are the alternatives worth considering, with prices checked on each vendor's own site on 23 October 2026.
We make Eodly, so it is first on this list. Where another tool is the better fit, we say so.

1. Eodly
Eodly asks each person for one short update a day in Slack, Telegram or Discord, reminds anyone who has not answered, and sends you one report in the evening. Connect GitHub or Linear and each update sits next to the work behind it, the merged pull request or the moved ticket. Updates the work does not back up, and ones that repeat while nothing moves, are flagged for you to look at.
- Price: free for up to 5 people, no card. Team is $29 a month flat for up to 10 people, so it does not grow with each active member.
- Choose it over DailyBot if: your team uses Telegram, or you want to know which updates the work actually backs up.
- Stay with DailyBot if: you need Microsoft Teams or Google Chat today, or you use forms, surveys and many different check-ins. Eodly asks one update a day.

| What you get | Check-in answers, forms and surveys, with AI summaries from Essentials | One evening report for the whole team |
| Work tools | Connects with Jira, GitHub and Linear on paid plans | Puts each update next to the GitHub pull requests and Linear tickets behind it and flags the ones the work does not back up |
| Pricing model | Per active user: $2.40 a month annual, $3 monthly | Flat: $29 a month for up to 10 people |
| Free tier | Unlimited members, 50 compiled reports a month, 14 days of history | Up to 5 people |
What you give up by moving to Eodly: Microsoft Teams and Google Chat (Teams is coming soon), forms and surveys. What you gain: Telegram, flat pricing, and a report that separates the updates the work backs up from the ones it does not.

Switching from DailyBot
A check-in has no data you need to move, only a habit.
- Run the new tool alongside DailyBot for a week so nobody misses a day.
- Set it up in the chat tool your team already uses. With Eodly that is three steps: create the workspace, connect Slack, Telegram or Discord (Slack imports your roster), and confirm the team.
- Connect GitHub or Linear if you want updates checked against the work.
- Compare a week of reports, then keep the one you actually read.
