What it really isA Slack and Teams bot for written standups, polls and surveys, billed per active participant.
Our takeGeekbot is a sensible pick for teams that want to replace a daily status call with written updates in the chat tool they already use.
Small teams can stay on the free plan, and the paid plan is cheap because you only pay for people who take part. Plan to upgrade if you need more than 3 months of history, CSV exports or the API.
Why we rate itA real free plan for small teams and low per-participant pricing that tracks actual use.
The catchFree history stops at 3 months, and API, CSV export and AI features need Basic.

Trade-offs

Friction report

Trade-offs to know before signing up.

  1. Time to value
    Add the bot to Slack or Teams and pick a template; no credit card for the free plan.
  2. Scale breakpoint
    An 11th active participant, or the need for history beyond 3 months, moves you to Basic.
  3. Walled garden
    Low: API, MCP server, CLI and CSV export on Basic.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Geekbot free?

Yes. The Starter plan is free for teams of up to 10 users and includes unlimited standups, reports, polls and surveys. It keeps reporting history for up to 3 months and leaves out API access and CSV exports (checked 4 October 2026).

How much does Geekbot cost?

Basic costs $3 per unique standup participant per month, or $2.50 on the annual plan, plus $1 per poll or survey respondent per month ($0.75 annual). Enterprise is quoted by sales. Basic has a free 30-day trial (checked 4 October 2026).

What does Geekbot do?

It runs standup meetings in writing. The bot asks each teammate a few questions in Slack or Microsoft Teams, collects the answers and posts them to a channel, so the team stays updated without a live meeting. It also runs polls, surveys and retros.

Is there a standup bot for Microsoft Teams?

Geekbot works in Microsoft Teams as well as Slack, with the same standup, poll and survey features.

How does Geekbot billing work when the team changes?

Standups are prepaid and charged daily per active participant. Adding someone mid-cycle debits only their remaining days, removing someone gives an instant credit, and unused balance carries over to the next month.

Does Geekbot have an API?

Yes. API access is part of the Basic plan, and Geekbot also offers an MCP server and a CLI for connecting AI agents.
