Jell

What Jell does

Jell is a SaaS team collaboration platform that replaces synchronous daily standup meetings with asynchronous, structured check-ins, while adding an integrated OKR and goal-tracking module. The product is built around three core modules — Daily Standups (configurable question prompts with automated reminders), Check-Ins (flexible surveys for one-on-ones, release notes, and team metrics in text, list, multiple-choice, or number formats), and Goal Tracking/OKRs (quarterly and annual goal setting with progress scoring and dashboards). The platform is delivered as a web application with native Slack and Microsoft Teams bots, plus integrations to GitHub, GitLab, Jira, Pivotal Tracker, FogBugz, Clubhouse, and Trello, allowing teams to submit and consume updates without leaving the tools they already use. Target customers are distributed and remote teams needing time-zone-friendly visibility, high-growth companies pursuing OKR alignment, agile software development teams, and larger enterprise organizations requiring multi-department visibility.

Jell monetizes through a per-seat subscription model with three tiers — Essentials at $5/user/month (entry tier with standups, check-ins, and Slack/Teams integrations), Advanced at $10/user/month (adding OKR management and private teams), and a custom-priced Enterprise tier with personalized onboarding, a dedicated customer success manager, and support for custom integrations. Annual billing is offered at a discount. The go-to-market motion is hybrid: a self-serve, product-led growth funnel driven by a 14-day free trial with no credit card required (targeting SMBs and individual teams), combined with a sales-assisted 'Book a demo' motion for enterprise deals. Marketing is concentrated on content — an extensive blog covering OKRs, SMART goals, daily standups, and engineering management — supplemented by an email newsletter and discoverability inside Slack and Microsoft Teams app directories. The company, Jell Technologies Inc., is incorporated in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, and operates as a private entity with 1-10 employees and no disclosed external funding.

Direct peers

• Geekbot: Geekbot is a direct competitor offering async daily standups, surveys, and check-ins natively inside Slack and Microsoft Teams. It targets the same distributed/agile teams as Jell with very similar per-seat pricing and feature set.
• DailyBot: DailyBot runs async standups, check-ins, and lightweight OKRs inside Slack, Teams, Discord, and Google Chat. Overlaps directly with Jell on standup automation, customizable questions, and team check-ins for distributed teams.
• Range: Range provides team check-ins, async standups, and meeting agendas with integrations into Slack, Teams, and Zoom. It targets the same remote/distributed team workflow as Jell, with comparable per-seat pricing.
• 15Five: 15Five combines weekly check-ins, OKR/goal tracking, and performance management for HR and people-ops teams. It overlaps with Jell on check-ins and OKRs while extending into broader performance workflows.
• Fellow.app: Fellow is a meeting management and 1:1 tool with agenda templates, action items, and OKR tracking. It competes with Jell in the team check-in and goal-tracking layer used by managers and agile teams.
• Standuply: Standuply runs async standups and surveys inside Slack with analytics and reporting. It targets the same primary use case (async standups) and buyer (agile engineering managers) as Jell.

Emerging players

• Lattice: Lattice is an HR-focused performance and OKR platform with 1:1s, reviews, and goal tracking. It overlaps with Jell's OKR and check-in functionality but targets HR/people-ops buyers rather than engineering managers.

Broad incumbents

• Asana: Asana is an established work/project management platform with goals, dashboards, and team workflows. It competes indirectly with Jell by absorbing standup-style updates and goal tracking into a broader suite.
• Monday.com: Monday.com is a large work-OS platform with project management, goal tracking, and team collaboration features. It competes with Jell for team-collaboration budgets but operates as a broad incumbent, not a standup specialist.
• Notion: Notion is an all-in-one workspace for docs, wikis, project tracking, and lightweight goals. Teams can replicate much of Jell's functionality using Notion databases and templates, putting pressure on Jell's per-seat pricing.
