Is DailyBot cheaper than Ray?

At most team sizes, yes, and we would rather say so than have you find out later. DailyBot bills per active user, so at ten people its Advanced tier costs about fifty dollars a month against Ray's ninety-nine. Ray's flat price only wins on cost above roughly twenty people, where per-user pricing keeps climbing and ours does not.

Does DailyBot create tickets like Ray does?

In Jira, yes: their integration supports creating, updating and commenting on issues. The difference is scope and initiative. Ray decides from the conversation which tool to act in, and shows you an approval card before it does.

Yes. If DailyBot's check-ins and kudos are part of your team's rhythm, keep them. Ray does not replace a culture tool.

Does Ray support Microsoft Teams?

Not today. Ray is Slack-only, with other chat platforms next. If your team is on Teams right now, DailyBot covers you and Ray does not.

DailyBot makes the work visible. Ray moves it.

DailyBot is cheaper than Ray at every size we sell, and it does a different job. Here is the honest comparison of both.

What DailyBot is

DailyBot calls itself one place for team updates, AI reports and agent activity, an intelligence layer that surfaces progress, risks and blockers. It runs async check-ins, kudos and mood tracking across Slack, Teams, Google Chat and Discord, and its own product page is candid that it is not a project management tool. DailyBot's own page

Two customers hit the same export bug this morning, worth a ticket.

Ray

Files it in Jira from the thread itself
Shows you the approval card before it writes anything
Remembers the decision the next time it comes up

DailyBot

Surfaces it in the check-in for the team to see
Can create the Jira issue through its integration
Keeps check-in history, 14 days on the free tier

What Ray costs

Free covers 25 tasks a month plus a one-time 50-task starter grant that never expires. Pro is one flat price for your team’s size: $49 a month for 1 to 3 people, $99 a month for 4 to 10 people, $199 a month for 11 to 25 people. No seats, and using Ray more never costs more.

What DailyBot costs

Essentials is $2.40 per active user a month billed annually, or $3.00 monthly. Advanced is $5.00 annually or $6.50 monthly, adding the API, CLI, AI workflows and audit trails. Enterprise is on request. their pricing page

Which one you should pick

The honest version, their side first.

Choose DailyBot if

You have fewer than about twenty people and price is the deciding factor. DailyBot is genuinely cheaper than Ray at every size we sell: at ten people their Advanced tier is fifty dollars a month against Ray's ninety-nine.
Your team is on Teams, Google Chat or Discord. DailyBot supports all four chat platforms and Ray is Slack-only today.
You want kudos, mood tracking and wellbeing check-ins in the same tool. Ray has no answer to that and is not trying to.

Choose Ray if

You want an agent that decides which tool to act in from the conversation, rather than check-ins whose answers you then act on yourself.
You need breadth across the tools your team already uses. Ray wires a far wider set than the fourteen connections DailyBot publishes.
You want every write to your tools to stop at an approval card in the channel first, with no setting that turns it off.

What DailyBot does not do

Each one checked against their own documentation, August 2026. If any of this changes, tell us and we will fix it.

We found no persistent organisation memory in DailyBot's published product or pricing pages. History there is check-in history, kept 14 days on the free tier and longer on paid ones. their docs
