Format Factory VS Standup Bot

StandupBot is an easy to use bot that automates your team’s standups, check-ins or any kind of recurring status update meetings, without breaking the bank. Trusted by thousands of teams to run over a million standups in our 8+ year history.

Unlike other tools that try to do way too things and are super confusing to manage, we focus on what you really need to automate your team’s meetings:

⚡️Fast setup: From install to first meeting in under 60 seconds. Great defaults to get you going and super easy to change to your needs.

👥 Multiple teams and projects: Create as many standups or status meetings you need for different projects or teams.

🕘 100% asynchronous: Everyone participates when it’s more convenient for them.

📃 Standup Report: Receive an easy-to-read report via email and Slack when the meeting is done.

👀 “Just following” mode: Select who's actively participating in meetings and who's only following through reports.

📆 Flexible scheduling: Schedule your meetings at the days and times you need. Automatically excuse people from meetings when they’re on vacation.

✅ Participation reports: Team- and individual-level participation reports, so you can easily see who needs some encouragement to share their updates more frequently.

🔔 Automatic reminders: We’ll be the friendly drill-sergeant for your team reminding everyone that hasn’t submitted their standup to do so before the meeting window closes.
