Why teams pick EstimateTask

One average hides three risk pictures

When Dev votes 3, QA votes 8 and DevOps votes 5, a single mean of 5 tells nobody anything. EstimateTask shows each role's average side by side, so the conversation starts where the disagreement is.

Guests never count against your limit

Stakeholders, contractors and specialists vote from a link without an account, on every plan. Your member limit only covers the people who run the workspace.

History you can learn from

Every round is kept with its distribution and outliers, so you can see which kinds of stories your team keeps under or over estimating.

When PlanITpoker fits better

PlanITpoker is a good fit if you want unlimited registered participants for $20 a month, or you import stories from Jira XML or CSV files. EstimateTask does not import stories yet.
