Users in their reviews report that:
> "**The most efficient app we could find** for doing asynchronous estimations. While other apps send you off to specific 'estimation' pages, Smart Guess **allows you to do the entire estimation process right from the issue**. Making the process **lightweight & intuitive**, not yet another task team members have to complete.", Development Manager

>  "**After trying many planning estimation tools in Jira, we landed on Smart Guess**. By **estimating stories directly in the card view itself**, Smart Guess is not only **the most efficient but the best app we've used.**", Team lead

Planning Poker isn't the right tool for the job when you need to estimate a large backlog of epics and stories quickly. 

Silent Estimation is specifically built to move fast on estimates during the early stages of a project.

Build Trust and Predictability with Your Estimates

Planning Poker is excellent for refinement sessions when you must dive into each story's details and ensure clarity before starting a sprint.

However, it's easy to get bogged down in the details when planning work over a longer time horizon and estimating a number of stories.

That's why having multiple tools is crucial and tailored to different scenarios.
