Steady review
A cross-platform check-in tool with broad integrations and usage-based monthly pricing.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Steady helps distributed and engineering teams coordinate with asynchronous check-ins, team digests, goal updates, and scheduled reports. It suits teams that want status updates across desktop and mobile, with delivery through Slack, Microsoft Teams, email, or Steady Digest. Configurable prompts and automated reminders support recurring updates, while blocker follow-ups can draw attention to issues that need action.
Its standout fit is coordination across connected tools and channels. Steady can attach activity from integrations such as GitHub, GitLab, Jira, Linear, Asana, and Trello to check-ins, and AI-assisted drafts use activity from connected tools. Daily team digests, scheduled Echoes reports, goal updates, team feeds, and participation reporting extend it beyond a basic standup bot. The platform is available on web, iOS, Android, Windows, macOS, and Linux, making it relevant for teams whose members do not all work from the same device or chat platform.
Pricing is based on Coordination Credits rather than per-user billing. According to the vendor's pricing page, monthly packages range from 500 credits for $25 to 35,000 credits for $1,750; higher packages include credit bonuses. That usage-based structure may suit teams that can estimate coordination activity, but it offers no free plan and may be less attractive to teams seeking predictable per-seat costs. Steady is a reasonable fit for teams that value cross-platform check-ins and connected activity; teams wanting a free starting tier or a narrowly focused, lower-cost standup tool may prefer an alternative.
