Work Remotely Forever alternatives

Had the pleasure of using Remote for 5 months now. What I want to really write about it is that CS guy they have on the platform -- i think his name was Oluwagbadura. I hope that's his full name. He was very helpful, courteous and very hands-on in helping me resolve some issues i encounted on the platform. I assume he is a Contractor himself. Makers, take note, he deserves a raise! Job well done.

We work with the Standuply Teams scrum bot on a regular basis. In my experience regular asynchronous standups may turn into status updates and team may feel the monotony. So we combine async/face-to-face formats but still with a Standuply bot. We set up this bot so that it collects an agenda before a meeting, and then sends everyone a link to this meeting, which is also held through scrum bot and at this face-to-face meeting, all team members can see the prepared agenda on their screens and talk on topic. At offline meetings, we sometimes run the Standuply automation of a Planning Poker or demonstrate graphs and analytics collected from task trackers. That fills live meetings with visual point.

The features are all amazing, and industry standard. Icing in the cake is pricing is a small fraction of what those huge organisations charge.
