Campee Review (2026): Pricing, Features & Honest Verdict

TLDR

Campee is a free, open-source planning poker tool with zero registration, no ads, and no tracking. It does one thing and does it cleanly. Best for: agile dev teams that want fast estimation sessions without creating yet another account. Price: completely free. Rating: 7.1/10

What is Campee?

We found Campee while hunting for a planning poker tool that doesn’t require everyone on the team to sign up for an account. That’s a surprisingly rare thing. Most estimation tools want email addresses, team invites, workspace creation. Campee skips all of that. You open a URL, share it with your team, and start voting.

It’s open-source, completely free, and runs with no ads or analytics tracking. The entire product is a single-purpose tool: run planning poker sessions for sprint estimation. No project management features bolted on. No upsell. Just cards and votes.

Key Features

Zero-Registration Sessions

This is the whole selling point. Click “Create Session,” get a shareable URL, send it to your team. Everyone picks a display name and they’re in. No email, no password, no OAuth flow. For distributed teams where you’re already fighting tool fatigue, this matters more than you’d think. We ran a session with 8 people and everyone was voting within 90 seconds of receiving the link.

Hidden Votes with Reveal

Standard planning poker mechanics. Everyone selects their estimate privately. The facilitator reveals all votes at once. This prevents anchoring bias, which is the whole reason planning poker exists in the first place. The reveal animation is simple but satisfying. No confetti or sound effects. Just flip and show.

Privacy-First Design

No cookies. No analytics. No tracking pixels. No data stored beyond the active session. For teams working on sensitive projects or in regulated industries, this is a legitimate advantage over tools that want to store your estimation history in their cloud forever.

Responsive Design

Works on phones and tablets without a dedicated app. We tested on iOS Safari and Android Chrome. Both worked fine. Cards are easy to tap on mobile. Not groundbreaking, but important when half your team is estimating from their couch during a remote standup.

Pricing Breakdown

There’s nothing to break down. Campee is 100% free. No premium tier. No “contact sales” button. No paid add-ons. It’s an open-source project. That’s refreshing and also a little concerning (more on that below).

What We Liked

The speed. We went from “let’s estimate these tickets” to “everyone is voting” in under two minutes. No setup friction at all. Compare that to Planning Poker Online, where you need accounts, a workspace, and a subscription before anyone can vote.

The privacy angle is real. We’ve worked with teams at companies where security review is required for every new SaaS tool. Campee sidesteps that entirely because it doesn’t collect or store anything. Your IT team can’t object to a tool that has no data to leak.

It’s genuinely ad-free. No banner ads. No “upgrade to pro” popups. No sponsored suggestions. The interface is clean and focused.

What Could Be Better

There’s no session history. Once you close the tab, your estimates are gone. If someone needs to reference what the team estimated last sprint, you’ll need to manually record it somewhere else. Most competing tools save this automatically.

No integrations. You can’t pull in Jira tickets, Linear issues, or GitHub items. Every story needs to be discussed verbally or pasted into a chat. For teams running 30+ story estimation sessions, this gets tedious.

The sustainability question is real. There’s no business model. No company behind it. Open-source projects with zero revenue have a habit of going unmaintained. The code hasn’t seen major updates recently, which could be fine (it’s simple enough to not need them) or a sign that the maintainer has moved on.

Custom card decks would be nice. You’re stuck with the default Fibonacci-style options. Some teams prefer T-shirt sizing (S, M, L, XL) or custom scales. That’s not supported.

Who Should Use Campee?

Small to mid-size agile teams that want to run quick estimation sessions without onboarding everyone onto another tool. It’s ideal for teams that do planning poker occasionally, not daily. If estimation is a core part of your weekly workflow and you need history, integrations, and analytics, you’ll outgrow Campee immediately.

It’s also a solid choice for consultants or contractors who run estimation sessions with different client teams. No need to add clients to your paid tool. Just share a link.

Alternatives

Planning Poker Online

The most established option. Starts at $30/mo for teams. You get Jira integration, session history, velocity tracking, and custom card decks. But you also get a signup flow, a dashboard, and the overhead that comes with a full SaaS product. If you need the features, it’s worth it. If you just want to vote on estimates, it’s overkill.

Parabol

A broader agile meeting tool that includes retrospectives, standups, and estimation. Free for up to 2 teams. The estimation feature is solid but it’s part of a larger product. Good if you want one tool for all your agile ceremonies. Unnecessary if you just need planning poker.

PlanITpoker

Another free planning poker option. PlanITpoker has been around longer and offers basic Jira integration on free plans. The interface feels dated compared to Campee, but the feature set is broader. If you need story import from Jira without paying, PlanITpoker is worth checking.

Final Verdict

Campee is a single-purpose tool that respects your time and privacy. It won’t replace a full estimation suite, and it’s not trying to. For quick planning poker sessions with zero setup, it’s hard to beat the price (free) and the friction (none). The lack of integrations and session history limits its usefulness for larger teams. But for small agile teams that just want to point some stories and move on, Campee does exactly what it promises.
