Geekbot review
A focused async standup and polling tool, not a full meeting-management suite.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Geekbot is a cloud-based collaboration tool for asynchronous standups, polls, surveys, and meeting workflows inside Slack and Microsoft Teams. It suits distributed and cross-functional teams that want recurring check-ins, customizable questions, progress updates, blocker tracking, decision polls, and meeting notes without relying on as many status meetings. Teams can also use templates for retrospectives, decisions, and action items, with web and API access available.
Pricing is split between Standups and Polls & Surveys. The free Starter plan supports up to 10 users and includes unlimited standups, reports, polls, and surveys, plus in-depth reporting insights and a detailed analytics dashboard. Basic — Standups costs $3 per participant per month when billed monthly or $2.50 annually, adding threaded reports, engagement summaries, API access, Geekbot AI, and CSV exports. Basic — Polls & Surveys costs $1 per respondent per month monthly or $0.75 annually, with customizable templates, advanced scheduling, detailed results pages, trend monitoring, and CSV and PDF exports. A 30-day free trial is also available.
Geekbot’s strongest fit is teams already working in Slack or Microsoft Teams that need structured asynchronous communication and lightweight outcome reporting. Integrations with Google Calendar, Jira, Asana, GitLab, and GitHub extend its place in collaboration and development workflows. AI-powered queries and summaries, automated engagement summaries, reporting reminders, and participation or sentiment dashboards add depth beyond simple check-ins. However, its core focus remains standups, surveys, and polls rather than broad meeting management. Teams seeking a dedicated asynchronous workflow should find the feature mix relevant; teams needing a wider meeting-management system may prefer a more comprehensive alternative.
