Scrum Poker for Trello
Estimay is free scrum poker (planning poker) that works with your Trello board. Import a list's cards as stories, estimate them together with hidden votes, and each final estimate lands back on its card as a comment. No Estimay account, and nothing to install on the board.
How it works
- Create a room.Start one in your browser and share the link. Teammates join with their name, no sign-up.
- Connect Trello. As the host or a facilitator, open the Stories panel's "⋯", choose Import from a tracker, then Trello and Connect Trello. You sign in on Atlassian's own page, in a small window, and allow the room to read your boards and comment on their cards.
- Pick a board and a list. Estimay shows the cards it will import and leaves out the ones already in the room, so importing the same list again only adds what's new. Pick disciplines (frontend, backend, QA…) to split every story, or none, and press Import.
- Estimate. Each card becomes a story with a link back to its card. Vote, reveal and agree on the estimate as in any room, live on a call or async across time zones.
- See it on the card. Pick "Write estimate to Trello" in a story's "⋯" menu, or turn on automatic write-back when you connect, so each final estimate goes a few seconds after it is set. It appears on the Trello card as a comment: "Estimation: 5", or for a split story "Estimation:" with a line per discipline (Frontend: 3, Backend: 5), then the answers to any extra questions (AI tokens: 250k), ending with a small "Estimated with estimay.io" link. Write it again after a change (or let write-back do it) and the same comment is edited, so a card never collects a pile of them.

What you get
- No copying titles across. A list's open cards come in at once, up to 200 at a time, and the estimates go back without anyone pasting them into Trello.
- The whole room. Hidden votes until the reveal, a discussion timer, custom decks, extra questions (risk, clarity, Agent-ready, AI tokens) and stories split by discipline: everything a room offers works on imported cards too.
- The connection belongs to the room. One person connects, and the whole room benefits: nobody else needs a Trello account to vote. Whoever connected stays the author of the comments.
- Mix sources. Add stories by hand or from a CSV (a Jira export, say) next to the Trello cards. Only the imported ones get a comment.
- Free to use. Unlimited players, rooms and stories. Every feature available today is free, and you don't need a card.
Privacy
When you connect, Atlassian asks you to let Estimay read your boards, comment on cards and read your name. Atlassian then gives the room access tokens, which Estimay keeps encrypted on its server: they never reach anyone's browser. Estimay reads only the boards, lists and cards you pick, and writes only its estimate comments, which stay in Trello. Press Disconnect in the import window, or end the room, and Estimay deletes the tokens; a connection left unused is deleted after 30 days. Read more in our privacy policy.
The Trello connection is new. It runs in the browser, not inside Slack, Discord or Telegram, since signing in opens a window of its own. If something looks off, we'd like to hear about it.
