Planning Poker — Frequently asked questions
Is RevealSprint really free?
Yes. There is no account to create and no paid plan. A room holds up to 32 people, which covers any Scrum team.
Do I need to sign up or install anything?
No. RevealSprint runs entirely in the browser. Just open the app, create a room and share the link or the code — there is nothing to download and no account required.
What is Planning Poker?
Planning Poker is a consensus-based agile estimation technique. Team members estimate the effort of user stories using cards, then reveal simultaneously to avoid anchoring and to spark discussion that leads to a shared estimate.
What is the difference between Planning Poker and Scrum Poker?
They are the same thing. Planning Poker, Scrum Poker and Sprint Poker are different names for the same estimation game used by agile and Scrum teams.
Which cards does RevealSprint use?
RevealSprint uses the Fibonacci deck (1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89), plus a ? card for uncertainty and a coffee card to ask for a break.
Does it work for remote teams?
Yes. RevealSprint is built for remote and hybrid teams. Share one link and everyone votes together in real time, wherever they are.
Why doesn't the host vote?
By default the host stays neutral, so estimates come only from the people who will do the work. The host reveals cards and moves the session forward. If your team is small, tick “Host can vote too” when creating the room.
How many people can join a room?
A vote needs at least three people in the room (two if the host votes too). A room holds up to 32 people.
What happens if I reload the page or the host leaves?
Reloading rejoins the room as a new participant, so a vote you had cast in the current round is lost. If the host leaves while others are still there, the role passes to the person who joined first. When the last person leaves, the room ends.
Where is my data stored?
Nowhere. The relay that carries a session forwards messages and keeps no history, and nothing is written to a database. Messages are not end-to-end encrypted: the room code is the only key, so share it only with your team. When the last person leaves, the room is gone.
