Geekbot alternatives in 2026: 8 standup bots compared on price and free tier
Geekbot is the best-known async standup bot: it runs standups, polls and surveys inside Slack and Microsoft Teams, it is free for up to 10 users with 3 months of history, and its Basic plan is $2.50 per participant a month on annual billing ($3 paying monthly). People usually look for an alternative for one of four reasons: their team works in Discord, Telegram or Google Chat, which Geekbot does not list; they want the standup to read their work tools, not just collect answers; they want flat pricing instead of per seat; or the team grew past the free tier. Here are the alternatives worth considering, with prices and free tiers checked on each vendor's own site on 18 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 the chat tool they already use (Slack, Telegram or Discord), reminds anyone who has not answered, and sends you one report in the evening. The difference from Geekbot is what happens to the answers: connect GitHub or Linear and each update sits next to the work behind it, the merged pull request or the moved ticket. People who did the work but forgot to check in still count, and an update that keeps saying "almost done" while nothing moves is 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.
- Choose it over Geekbot if: your team uses Telegram or Discord, or you want to know what actually got done rather than read every reply.
- Stay with Geekbot if: you want custom questionnaires, polls and surveys. Eodly asks one update a day.
2. DailyBot
DailyBot is the closest like-for-like alternative with wider platform coverage: Slack, Microsoft Teams, Google Chat and Discord. It runs check-ins, forms and surveys, with AI summaries on paid plans, and lists GitHub, Jira and Linear as connections.
- Price: free Starter plan with unlimited members but a cap of 50 compiled check-in reports per organization a month and 14 days of history. Essentials is $2.40 per active user a month on annual billing, $3 monthly.

3. Standuply

- Choose it over Geekbot if: you want standups tied to your dev tools, or a flat price for a large team.
4. Range
Range combines check-ins with meeting agendas and goals, and reads GitHub pull requests and issues and Jira tickets.
