Scrum Points
Agile estimation for teams
WHAT IS SCRUM POINTS?
Scrum Points is a free, real-time estimation app for agile teams. No accounts, no sign-ups — just create a room, share the code, and start estimating together instantly from any device.
HOW IT WORKS
One person creates a room and shares the 6-character code (or QR code) with their team. Everyone joins on their phone, tablet, or browser. Votes are hidden until the host reveals them — eliminating anchoring bias and encouraging honest estimates.
FEATURES
• Real-time vote sync across all participants
• Multiple estimation scales — Fibonacci, T-shirt sizes, powers of two, and more
• Custom scales — define your own card values
• Spectator mode — observe without voting
• Room sharing via QR code, link, or room code
• Dark and light themes
• Works on iOS, Android, and web

WHO BUILDS IT
Scrum Points is built and maintained by Matthew Hall, a software engineer in the UK. It started as a way to run planning poker with a distributed team without asking everybody to make yet another account, and grew from there.
It is a small, independent project rather than a company product. That shapes most of the decisions on this page: there is no sales team to talk to, no onboarding flow, and no plan to add one.
WHY THERE IS NO SIGN-UP
Estimation sessions are short and often involve people from outside the team — a stakeholder joining for twenty minutes, a contractor on their second day. Requiring an account for that is friction with no upside, and it means collecting personal data for a tool that does not need any.
So a room is a six-character code. Anyone with the code or the link can join, rooms are deleted automatically 24 hours after their last activity, and nothing is retained afterwards. The trade-off is deliberate: this is a tool for ceremonies you run with people you already trust, not a system of record.
HOW IT IS FUNDED
The app is free and there is no paid tier. Costs are covered by advertising on the guide pages — the written articles on estimation and retrospectives — and by ads in the mobile apps.
The estimation and retrospective rooms themselves carry no web advertising. A room is a working surface that teams keep open for an hour at a time, and putting ads in it would be both worse to use and the wrong place for them.
BRINGING YOUR OWN AI
Scrum Points does not run an AI model. Instead it publishes a small open MCP server that you run on your own machine, which lets an assistant you already use — Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, or any other MCP-compatible client — join a room as a participant and estimate alongside the team.
The practical difference is that the thing estimating your story is the assistant with your repository open, rather than a hosted model guessing from a story title. There is no API key to hand over and nothing to sign up for; the only cost is whatever your own assistant already costs you to run.
