25 Best OKR Software in 2026 [My Honest Review]

TL;DR: The best OKR software is the one you'll actually keep using. Mooncamp wins for mid-market and enterprise teams (flexible, intuitive, built for scale). Tability suits startups and small teams (affordable, lightweight). And for teams just starting out, free tools like Google Sheets or Excel are often all you need.

Most "best OKR software" lists are useless.

They are:

  • AI slop written by content farms chasing traffic
  • Comparison sites cluttered with irrelevant tools
  • Vendors patting themselves on the back (*cough*)

Full disclosure: I'm a co-founder of one of these tools. That's the bad news.

The good news: I actually know what I'm talking about.

  1. My expertise: Tracking the OKR software landscape is literally my job. I've been doing it for years and update my insights regularly. 10 years of OKR experience. 7 of them building software and helping customers roll out OKRs all over the world.
  2. My pledge: I'll tell you where Mooncamp falls short and where competitors do it better. I'll cover which tool fits which use case, team size, and budget. And I'll flag the pitfalls that lead to bad purchases.
  3. This article is based on insights from our internal competitive intelligence doc, which we vet and keep current.

First, some context on why getting this decision right matters.

Or skip straight to the tools.

Why most "Best OKR Software" reviews are useless

Google "best OKR software" and you'll find three types of content:

Vendor content where OKR companies review themselves. They praise their own tool and bash competitors they've never actually used or tested.

Comparison sites like G2 and Capterra. G2 lets any project management or HR tool with a half-baked goals module into the OKR category. That's why Asana shows up at the top with thousands of reviews. Capterra is worse. You can pay for top placement.

Content sites publishing AI-generated listicles. The authors have usually never logged into a single platform. Most are variations of the same article, and many sell top placement to the highest bidder. Here's an example from a well-known platform that shows the depth of the research:

None of these help you make an actual decision.

Why the wrong tool costs more than you think

The subscription fee is the smallest part of the cost.

The real price is everything around it: executive buy-in, workshops, training, change management. You're asking employees to learn something new and change how they work.

Pick the wrong tool and adoption tanks. Leadership concludes "OKRs don't work here." Six months later, you're back to spreadsheets or abandoning OKRs entirely.

I've helped clean up enough failed OKR rollouts to know: bad tooling reliably kills adoption.

What I'm doing differently

This article started as our internal competitive intelligence doc at Mooncamp. I track every tool in this space:

  • I sign up and test each tool myself, running through typical workflows like admin setup, weekly check-ins by ICs, or read-only leadership dashboards.
  • I pull insights from our product analytics and customer calls. What drives adoption, what kills it, what makes rollouts succeed or fail.
  • I've helped startups, mid-market, and enterprise teams implement OKRs. I know what works at each stage.

Some competitors are better for specific use cases. Some are cheaper. Some have features we haven't built yet. I'll tell you.

I'd rather you succeed with a competitor than fail with us.

Now let's look at the tools.

My advice: Use this info to build a shortlist. Then sign up and test each tool yourself — you'll learn more in 30 minutes of clicking around than from any review.

25 best OKR software in 2026

1. Mooncamp

Mooncamp is OKR and strategy execution software built for enterprises and scale-ups who need flexibility as they grow. It works both to scale OKRs to thousands of users and as a leadership cockpit to turn strategy into an operating model. Founded in 2019, Mooncamp has grown to serve thousands of teams worldwide (primarily in Europe and North America).

Mooncamp is best for mid-market and enterprise teams who need flexibility, intuitive UX, and expert support for successful OKR rollouts.

Why we built Mooncamp

Most OKR software misses the point.

The real challenge isn't tracking goals — it's anchoring OKRs in an organization. If you are a 5-person team, any tool works. But once you're at 30, 100, or 10,000+ users, the tool becomes a critical pillar alongside internal champions and change agents driving adoption.

What we've seen: flexibility and intuitiveness are strongly correlated with OKR rollout success. Rigid tools create friction. Clunky UIs kill engagement. Teams abandon the process before it has a chance to work.

So we built Mooncamp around flexibility and intuitive design. There are powerful features under the hood, but they only show up when you need them.

What customers tell us they like

  • Dead-simple for every role. Admins, team leads, and view-only users all find it intuitive — next to no training required.
  • Customizability. Every company is different. Mooncamp adapts to your terminology, processes, and workflows — not the other way around. That makes it much easier for people to adopt.
  • Check-ins that create accountability. Regular updates keep everyone aligned and make progress visible.
  • Custom dashboards and reporting. Fully customizable dashboards and reports for leadership, team syncs, board meetings, QBRs.
  • Deep integrations. Power BI, Microsoft Planner, Slack, Microsoft Teams — we plug into your existing stack. Our Microsoft ecosystem integration is why many former Viva Goals customers have migrated to Mooncamp since its discontinuation in 2025.
  • Dedicated support from OKR experts. Personal onboarding, implementation guidance, and a Customer Success team with experience from hundreds of rollouts worldwide.

Where we fall short

AI. We don't have AI implemented (yet). We want to make sure not to just slap a ChatGPT wrapper on the product and call it a day or ship gimmicks that just add noise to the process. We're building a holistic Mooncamp AI strategy and won't ship until it actually improves workflows.

Also, Mooncamp's integrations still have room to grow – it's a focus area.

That said, our roadmap is full of exciting stuff. Our product vision is huge and we obsess over getting the experience right.

Make sure to keep an eye on our changelog to see what we are building (or ask our Sales team for Mooncamp's product roadmap).

Pricing

We offer three plans: Essential, Pro, and Enterprise. See our pricing page for details.

Essential is ideal for smaller teams who want to explore the platform and get started quickly. As you scale and need advanced features — custom dashboards and reporting, integrations, SCIM, dedicated support — Pro and Enterprise have you covered.

2. Workboard

Workboard is a US-based enterprise strategy execution platform founded in 2013. It connects multi-year strategy to OKRs and daily work, with a heavy focus on business reviews and scorecards. Built for large organizations that need structured alignment across departments.

Workboard is best for large enterprises needing structured strategy execution with business review dashboards and AI-powered briefings.

Key Features

  • OKR Heatmap: You get a visual overview of how objectives are progressing across the org. You can drill down into departments and spot risks before they escalate.
  • Business Review Dashboards: You can build scorecards with KR targets, actuals, dependencies, and pull in data from tools like PowerBI. Useful for QBRs and board meetings.
  • Workboard AI: AI that helps draft OKRs, generates weekly briefings, and flags what needs attention. Genuinely useful for execs who don't have time to dig through dashboards.

What I like

The AI-generated summaries for business reviews actually save time — they highlight wins and flag what needs attention week over week. And the OKR heatmap is one of the better implementations I've seen: you can drill into each department and quickly spot which teams are struggling before it's too late.

What falls short

The UI feels dated — it has that clunky enterprise interface vibe that can be a turnoff, especially for millennials and younger employees who expect consumer-grade UX. This might seem superficial, but I've seen it tank adoption. The other gap: there's no proper check-in module. Check-ins are the glue that keeps everyone accountable and ensures goals stay up to date. Without that built-in rhythm, data entry becomes inconsistent and the system loses value fast.

Pricing

No pricing on their site. From what I've found elsewhere and confirmed in calls with buyers evaluating tools, it can be up as high as $50/user/month — which explains why they keep it quiet.

Quick links

You can schedule a demo to see it in action.

No free trial, so you'll need to go through their sales process to test it.

3. Profit.co

Profit.co is an India-based OKR platform founded in 2018. They position themselves as a full strategy execution suite — covering OKRs, performance management, and project management in one platform. It's feature-rich and targets SMBs who want a lot of functionality without enterprise pricing.

Profit.co is best for SMBs who want Balanced Scorecard or Hoshin Kanri support alongside OKRs at an affordable price.

Key Features

  • Balanced Scorecard & Hoshin Kanri: You get dedicated modules for BSC and Hoshin Kanri visualization — rare in the OKR space. Useful if your organization uses these frameworks alongside or instead of OKRs.
  • Employee Engagement Suite: Includes performance reviews, 360 feedback, and recognition features. The idea is to connect goal achievement with employee development in one platform.
  • Portfolio & Project Management: Task boards, project tracking, and initiative management alongside your OKRs. You can link projects directly to key results.

What I like

The Balanced Scorecard and Hoshin Kanri visualizations are genuinely unique — most OKR tools don't touch these frameworks. And the platform is quite customizable; you can adapt it to different methodologies without being locked into one approach. I appreciate that they're trying to build a holistic strategy execution platform that connects OKRs with performance management and projects. The ambition is right, even if the execution isn't quite there yet.

What falls short

The platform feels slow. Basic operations like bulk editing goals require too many clicks. During my trial, I found myself constantly confused — there's so much to configure that it feels like features were added to check boxes for sales rather than to solve real user problems. The UI is cluttered, and the learning curve is steeper than it should be for what's marketed as an SMB tool.

Pricing

Modular pricing with a free plan for up to 5 users. Paid plans start around $7-9/user/month depending on billing cycle.

Quick links

They offer a free trial with no credit card required, and a freemium plan for small teams.

You can also book a demo if you want a guided walkthrough.

4. Perdoo

Perdoo is a Berlin-based OKR platform founded in 2014. Similar to Profit.co, they've expanded beyond pure OKRs to include recognition and performance reviews — positioning themselves as a broader goal management platform for SMBs.

Perdoo is best for SMBs who prioritize simplicity over features and want a lightweight European alternative.

Key Features

  • OKRs + KPIs: You can track both OKRs and KPIs in one view, with KPIs displayed prominently above your objectives. Helpful for teams that want to monitor ongoing metrics alongside time-bound goals.
  • Strategy Map: Visual alignment view showing how objectives cascade from company level down to teams. You can see at a glance how everything connects.
  • Kudos: Built-in recognition feature that lets employees celebrate wins tied to goal progress. Small touch, but it helps anchor OKRs in daily culture.

What I like

The KPI + OKR separation is well thought out — having KPIs displayed above OKRs makes it clear which metrics are ongoing health indicators vs. which are time-bound objectives. The Strategy Map does a solid job of visualizing alignment across the org. And Kudos, while simple, can go a long way toward motivating employees and keeping OKRs top of mind.

What falls short

The interface feels clunky and dated compared to newer tools. Performance reviews and 1:1s feel like an afterthought — it seems like they tried to move into the employee engagement platform direction (like Lattice or Leapsome) a while back, but then stopped developing those features and just kept them as extra selling points.

Pricing

Free plan for up to 5 users. Paid plans start at €8/user/month (Premium) and €10/user/month (Supreme) when billed annually. Supreme includes Jira/Asana integrations, custom reports, and a dedicated CSM.

Quick links

There is a free plan for up to 5 users, or explore paid tiers on their pricing page.

No credit card required to get started.

5. Tability

Tability is a Sydney-based OKR tool founded in 2021 by two ex-Atlassians. It's designed specifically for startups and small teams who want lightweight goal tracking without the enterprise complexity.

Tability is best for startups and small teams who want lightweight, AI-assisted goal tracking without enterprise complexity.

Key Features

  • AI Goal Drafting: Built-in AI helps you write OKRs from scratch. You describe what you're trying to achieve, and it generates objectives and key results you can refine.
  • Initiatives Kanban: You get a kanban board view for initiatives linked to your OKRs. Makes it easy to see what work is in progress toward each goal.
  • Strategy Map: Visual alignment view that shows how goals connect from company level down to teams. Clean and easy to navigate.

What I like

The AI goal drafting is genuinely helpful for teams new to OKRs — it gets you past the blank page problem. And the initiatives kanban provides a good overview of what's actually being worked on, which is something many OKR tools neglect. The whole experience feels lightweight and approachable without being simplistic.

What falls short

No custom properties for goals. If you want to add your own fields to adapt the tool to your process, you're out of luck. The standups feature exists but feels basic — more of a checkbox than a well-thought-out workflow. And for teams that need more configurability or enterprise features, you'll hit limits quickly.

Pricing

Free for up to 3 users. Paid plans start at $8/user/month (Plus) when billed annually. Pro is $15/user/month and includes advanced reporting and integrations.

Quick links

Sign up for a free trial — note that credit card is required.

Or book a demo for a guided walkthrough.

6. Weekdone

Weekdone is an Estonia-based OKR tool founded in 2012 — one of the oldest players in the market. I hesitated to include them because they seem to have stopped active development since 2023, but I still see teams using it here and there.

Weekdone is best for small teams who want OKRs combined with weekly PPP (Plans, Progress, Problems) reporting.

Key Features

  • OKR + Weekly Reporting: Combines OKR tracking with the "Plans, Progress, Problems" (PPP) framework for weekly status updates — one of the few tools that directly links the two.
  • Visual OKR Hierarchy: Tree view showing how team OKRs ladder up to company objectives, with aggregated progress across all teams.
  • Activity Newsfeed: You can see what others are working on across company, team, and individual levels. Progress updates flow into a central feed.

What I like

The weekly Plans, Progress, Problems reporting is a useful ritual that keeps OKRs connected to daily work. And there's a small recognition feature that lets you appreciate employees when they hit milestones — nice touch for building a goal-oriented culture.

What falls short

Features are basic. I frequently hit limits during my trial when trying to do anything beyond the fundamentals. OKRs aren't prominent in the UI — you have to scroll to find your company objectives, which feels backwards. And the color choices are harsh on the eyes (personal preference, but worth mentioning).

Pricing

Free for up to 3 users. Paid plans are tiered by team size — roughly $8-10/user/month depending on volume. All features included at every tier, with ~20% discount for annual billing.

Quick links

Start with the free tier for small teams or a 14-day trial for larger groups — no credit card needed.

7. Craft.io

Craft.io is a Tel Aviv-based product management platform founded in 2015. It's not a dedicated OKR tool — it's built for product teams managing roadmaps, backlogs, and capacity. But it includes an OKR module that integrates with their broader product planning workflow, making it a solid choice for product-led organizations.

Craft.io is best for product teams who want OKRs integrated with roadmaps and capacity planning in one platform.

Key Features

  • Customizable OKR Views: You can configure how OKRs are displayed and structured — one of the few tools besides Mooncamp that offers this level of flexibility.
  • Strategy-to-Roadmap Linking: Connect high-level objectives directly to product roadmap items. You can see how strategic goals translate into actual product work.
  • Capacity Planning: Built-in resource planning that lets you balance team workload against OKR commitments. Useful for product teams juggling multiple initiatives.

What I like

The OKR customizability is rare — most tools lock you into their structure, but Craft.io lets you adapt the framework to how your team actually works. And the capacity planning integration is genuinely useful for product teams who need to understand whether they have the bandwidth to hit their goals.

What falls short

The OKR module is a nice addition to a product management platform, but it's clearly not the core focus. If you're not a product-driven org, you're paying for a lot of functionality you won't use. The onboarding is also intrusive — multi-step guides appear on every single page, which could frustrate new users trying to get oriented.

Pricing

Expensive. Plans start at $39/user/month (Essentials) and go up to $89/user/month (Enterprise) when billed annually. There's no free tier — only a trial.

Quick links

Start with a free trial to test the platform.

8. Range

Range is a San Francisco-based team check-in tool founded in 2017 by ex-Medium leadership. It's not a dedicated OKR platform — it's primarily about async standups and team rituals — but it includes lightweight goal tracking that integrates with daily check-ins.

Range is best for small teams wanting async standups with light goal tracking, not full OKR management.

Key Features

  • Async Check-ins: You can pull tasks from 75+ tools (Jira, GitHub, Asana, etc.) into daily standups and complete them via web, Slack, or Teams.
  • Goal Linking: You can use hashtags to connect daily check-ins to top-level goals. Progress updates roll up to leadership automatically.
  • Meeting Management: You get agenda creation, note capture, and Zoom integration for live standups — all in one place.

What I like

The check-ins feature is well thought through. You can attach flags like "feedback", "decision", "blocked", or "kudos" to your check-in points, which adds useful context. The integrations work well, especially Slack — it pulls in relevant activity from your communication tools and calendars. And the team bonding features (mood sharing, icebreaker questions) are a nice touch for remote teams.

What falls short

The goal tracking is lightweight — no dedicated key results, no OKR scoring, limited reporting. It's really a check-in tool with goals bolted on, not a full OKR solution. The free tier only allows 3 goals, which is restrictive. Honestly, this makes it unsuitable for teams larger than 20 people.

Pricing

Free for up to 12 users with limited goals. Pro is $8/user/month for unlimited goals and teams. Enterprise pricing for 100+ users with SSO.

Quick links

Start with the free plan or 14-day Pro trial — no credit card required.

9. OKRs Tool

OKRs Tool is an Estonia-based platform founded in 2025. It's positioned specifically for startups who want simple, affordable OKR tracking without enterprise complexity.

OKRs Tool is best for startups who want AI-assisted OKRs and flat-rate pricing that doesn't punish growth.

Key Features

  • AI Goal Generation: You get AI-assisted OKR writing that helps create aligned objectives from scratch, with adaptive suggestions when you complete goals.
  • Slack Check-ins: You can set up automated reminders and async updates via Slack to keep goals fresh without extra meetings.
  • Alignment Visualization: You get a visual map showing how objectives cascade from company level down to teams.

What I like

The AI features are available even on the free plan, which is generous — you get AI-assisted OKR writing and initiative creation without paying. They're also shipping new features at an impressive pace, which is encouraging to see from an early-stage tool. I appreciate the spirit behind the product: a founder trying to help other founders by offering something lightweight and affordably priced.

What falls short

The downside of being a young startup is that you have to start from the beginning. The UI still has some rough edges: text breaks awkwardly, responsiveness is spotty, features like initiatives feel thin. The free tier is also limited since most useful features are paywalled. At that point, Google Sheets might actually be more useful.

Pricing

The pricing model is refreshing: flat-rate fees instead of per-user charges. Free for up to 5 users. Paid plans are $30/month (Scale) or $50/month (Expand) for unlimited users. Only makes sense for small startups.

Quick links

The free tier includes unlimited OKRs for up to 5 users — no credit card needed.

Founder offers complimentary onboarding calls with all plans.

10. Betterworks

Betterworks is a US-based enterprise performance management platform founded in 2013. It's backed by Kleiner Perkins (with John Doerr on the board — the author of Measure What Matters), and it positions itself as a full-suite HR platform where OKRs are one module among many: performance reviews, 1:1s, feedback, calibration.

Betterworks is best known by name, but both dedicated OKR tools and modern HR platforms now offer better value.

Key Features

  • Goal Alignment Visibility: You can see how individual goals connect to company priorities across departments. The alignment view makes cross-functional dependencies visible.
  • AI-Assisted Goal Creation: The AI uses context like the user's role, their team, and feedback they've received to suggest relevant OKRs.
  • Performance Analytics: You get dashboards that surface insights on goal progress, completion rates, and team performance trends.

What I like

The alignment visibility is strong — you can actually trace how individual goals connect to company priorities across departments. And the AI-assisted goal creation is context-aware, pulling in role information and past feedback to generate relevant suggestions.

What falls short

Betterworks started out as OKR-focused software but lost its way. It's now one of many similar-looking HR platforms trying to do everything — and when you spread resources thin, individual products suffer. For orgs serious about strategy execution, Betterworks isn't the right fit. Look at purpose-built tools like Cascade or Mooncamp instead. If you want an all-in-one HR platform with a basic goals module, Lattice is a better choice.

Pricing

No public pricing. You'll need to contact sales for a quote. Based on buyer reports, expect enterprise-level pricing.

Quick links

No free trial, but you can take a self-guided tour or contact sales for a demo.

11. Lattice

Lattice is a San Francisco-based people management platform founded in 2015. Interestingly, their first product in 2016 was actually a goal management tool before they pivoted to focus on performance reviews. Today, Goals & OKRs is one module within their broader HR suite.

Lattice is best for orgs where HR owns the goals process and wants everything — reviews, 1:1s, goals — in one system.

Key Features

  • Cascading Goal Alignment: You can connect individual OKRs to team and company objectives with transparency across the org.
  • Embedded in Workflows: OKRs are built into 1:1s, status updates, and performance reviews — not a separate system you have to switch to.
  • Slack/Teams Integration: You get deep integrations that surface goals where people already work.

What I like

The integration between goals and performance reviews is seamless. OKRs inform 1:1 conversations and formal assessments without switching tools. And the interface is genuinely clean — one of the better-designed HR platforms I've seen.

What falls short

The OKR module has issues at scale. It basically consists of an explorer view with filters and a basic reporting dashboard. If you're not planning to expand into the HR platform, buying the Goals module standalone at $8/seat is ridiculous — considering what you get from dedicated OKR software at a similar price point.

Pricing

Goals & OKRs can be purchased standalone at $8/seat/month, or as part of the Talent Management bundle at $11/seat/month. Annual billing only. Minimum $4,000/year commitment.

Quick links

No free trial, but you can explore self-guided product tours or request a demo.

12. Leapsome

Leapsome is a Berlin-based all-in-one people management platform founded in 2016. Similar to Lattice, Goals & OKRs is one module among many — HRIS, performance reviews, engagement surveys, learning, compensation.

Leapsome is best for companies who want a modern, European HR platform with goals that flow naturally into performance conversations.

Key Features

  • Goal Trees: You get an interactive visualization of how individual, team, and company goals connect. Supports traditional goals, OKRs, or custom frameworks.
  • AI Goal Creation: Leapsome's AI generates OKRs that follow best practices, suggests initiatives, and summarizes progress for you.
  • Review Integration: Goals automatically feed into 1:1s and performance reviews — you don't have to switch systems.

What I like

The all-in-one approach works well if you're buying the full platform. Goals naturally flow into performance conversations without switching tools, just like with Lattice. And the UI is noticeably more modern than most other HR platforms that also offer goals — it doesn't feel like an afterthought.

What falls short

Similar to Lattice, Leapsome is a solid choice if you only have basic goal tracking needs. But if you're serious about strategy execution, it falls short: features like auto-updating goals via integrations, multi-level hierarchy or detailed reporting on OKR progress are missing entirely. You're paying for a people platform that happens to have goals, not a goals platform.

Pricing

No public pricing. You'll need to contact sales for a quote. 1-year commitment required.

Quick links

No free trial, but you can take a self-guided tour or request a demo.

13. Cascade

Cascade is a Sydney-based strategy execution platform founded in 2016. It's built for enterprise strategy management — OKRs are one framework within a broader strategic planning system that also supports Balanced Scorecard and custom methodologies. If you need more than just goal tracking and want to connect strategy to operations across the entire organization, this is one of the more serious options.

Cascade is best for leadership teams who need a strategy cockpit with multi-level planning and portfolio views.

Key Features

  • Alignment Map: You get a bird's-eye view of how plans interconnect — you can track dependencies, blockers, and risks across the organization.
  • OKR-to-Strategy Integration: You can nest OKRs against strategic themes team by team, with prompted monthly check-ins to keep everything current.
  • Tapestry AI: AI-powered insights that surface where strategy is drifting. You get auto-generated executive briefings without manual report-building.

What I like

The strategy-to-execution alignment is strong. Each department can manage their own strategic plan while leadership gets visibility into how everything ladders up to company objectives. I particularly like the metric tree builder — you can set up metrics that feed into each other, either by calculation (aggregate data from 2 metrics), manually, or via integrations. The reporting feature is also solid once you get the hang of it.

What falls short

Whenever I tested it, the app has been slow. Probably gets worse once you have a couple dozen users in the account. Customizing fields to make the process truly your own requires the Enterprise plan — which feels like it should be a basic feature. Cascade feels like it's built for a small circle of people in the strategy office who need a high-level overview, rather than having a few hundred people actually working in the tool day-to-day.

Pricing

Free plan for up to 2 users. Paid plans (Essentials, Enterprise) require contacting sales — no public pricing, so expect enterprise-level costs for larger deployments. AI functionality and custom fields require Enterprise.

Quick links

Start with the free plan to explore.

14. AchieveIt

AchieveIt is a US-based strategy execution platform founded in 2010. They specialize in government and educational institutions — if you're in one of those sectors, this could be a good fit. Otherwise, you're probably better off looking elsewhere.

AchieveIt is best for government and education orgs who need consulting alongside software.

Key Features

  • Automated Progress Updates: You get automated reminders and progress syncing directly into customizable dashboards. Reduces the manual effort of chasing people for status updates.
  • Multi-Plan Management: You can manage multiple strategic plans simultaneously across departments, linking initiatives and milestones to overarching goals.
  • Enterprise Security: FedRAMP authorized and SOC 2 Type II certified — important if you're in government or a regulated industry.

What I like

The reporting is customizable, which is useful for organizations with formal board or compliance requirements. Customer support also gets consistently positive reviews — dedicated CSMs who are responsive and actually helpful (and have expert level knowledge by focussing on one industry).

What falls short

The UX is bad. The design looks like it hasn't been updated since they created the software in 2010. And unless you're in US government or education and benefit significantly from their consulting services, you'll find that basic OKR features are lacking. They position themselves as software that can also do OKRs, but OKRs are clearly an afterthought.

Pricing

Custom quote-based pricing. Based on user reports, expect around $1,000 per user annually. Annual billing only. No free trial.

15. ClearPoint Strategy

ClearPoint Strategy is a US-based strategy management platform founded in 2008. The founders worked with Kaplan and Norton (Balanced Scorecard creators), and that heritage shows. It's used in government, healthcare, and education — not typical tech startup customers.

ClearPoint Strategy is best for government, healthcare, and education orgs with formal strategy reporting needs.

Key Features

  • AI Strategy Assistant: Auto-builds scorecards and KPIs from prompts. You get executive summaries highlighting wins, risks, and action priorities.
  • Strategy Visualization: Drag-and-drop interface connecting KPIs, projects, and objectives. Supports Balanced Scorecard and OKRs.
  • Automated Briefing Books: You can bundle dashboards into branded PDFs with scheduled distribution. Users report saving 89 hours per report.

What I like

The AI Strategy Assistant is impressive — you can auto-build complete scorecards from simple prompts. The AI understands your strategy framework and creates comprehensive goals with KPIs and projects, saving significant time on planning and setup.

What falls short

The learning curve is steep. Back-end configuration isn't intuitive for non-technical users. And getting ClearPoint to connect with existing BI tools for real-time data can be challenging. It's also primarily used in public sector — may feel like overkill for typical tech companies.

Pricing

Custom quote-based pricing. Like most enterprise-heavy tools in this space, everything is hidden behind a contact form. No public pricing available.

Quick links

No free trial. Request a demo to get a custom quote — includes a live report/dashboard built with your data.

16. OnStrategy

OnStrategy is a US-based strategic planning platform founded in 2003 — one of the older players in this space. It's positioned as a full strategic planning suite with OKRs as one component, not a dedicated OKR tool.

Key Features

  • Built-in Review Cycles: You get a dedicated reviews section to create your monthly and quarterly strategic agendas. You can set custom OKR execution cycles to match how your org actually operates.
  • StrategyHub with Miro: You get pre-built Miro whiteboards with exercises to build your organizational strategy — useful for teams who want guided strategic planning sessions.
  • Alignment Visualization: You can see how goals cascade from company level down to teams, with progress tracking across the hierarchy.

What I like

The built-in review cycles are well thought out — you can structure your monthly and quarterly strategic agendas directly in the tool. And the StrategyHub with pre-built Miro whiteboards is a nice touch for teams who want guided exercises to build their strategy from scratch.

What falls short

Once you dig deeper, you realize there are lots of details and advanced features missing. Basic things like choosing different types of measuring progress (start and target value, thresholds, aggregating from child objectives) aren't there. The tool feels like it was built for a simpler era of OKR management. If you don't need advanced OKR features, then it's definitely worth a try though.

Pricing

Flat-rate pricing at $200/month with annual commitment. Unlimited users included — which is refreshing compared to per-seat pricing.

Quick links

Start with a free trial — credit card required.

17. businessmap

Businessmap (formerly Kanbanize) is a Bulgaria-based enterprise agile platform. It's primarily a Kanban and portfolio management tool — OKRs are one feature among many for connecting strategy with execution. If your org is heavy on Lean/Kanban methodology, this could fit well.

Businessmap is best for agile organizations who think in boards and want OKRs connected to Kanban workflows and portfolio management.

Key Features

  • OKR Boards: You can visualize objectives and key results on shared boards and link them directly to work items. Progress updates automatically as linked cards move through workflows.
  • Flight Levels Framework: You get a hierarchical structure connecting strategic, coordination, and operational levels — useful for large orgs wanting to align portfolio-level planning with team execution.
  • AI Work Assistant: AI-powered features that summarize boards, suggest next steps, and identify bottlenecks in your flow metrics.

What I like

The visual workflow flexibility is strong — unlimited boards, swimlanes, and customizable card types let you model almost any process. The portfolio-level visibility and OKR linking help align strategy with execution across departments. And the analytics are robust: built-in charts, AI analysis, and Monte Carlo simulations for forecasting.

What falls short

There's a steep learning curve for advanced features — the Flight Levels concept and all the Kanban terminology can overwhelm teams who just want simple OKR tracking. Performance can slow down on data-heavy boards with lots of cards and workflows. And if you're not already bought into Lean/Kanban methodology, the tool will feel like overkill.

Pricing

Starts at $9.90/user/month (annual) or $11.90/user/month (monthly). Volume discounts for large orgs — down to $6.90/user/month for 500+ users. All features included at every tier.

Quick links

Start with a 14-day free trial — no credit card required.

18. Teamflect

Teamflect is a London-based performance management tool founded in 2018. Its defining feature: it lives entirely inside Microsoft Teams. No separate app, no extra login. If your org runs on Microsoft 365, Teamflect meets people where they already work.

Teamflect is best for Microsoft 365 organizations who want OKRs, reviews, and 1:1s without adding another tool to the stack.

Key Features

  • Native Microsoft Teams Integration: OKRs live entirely within Teams and Outlook. No context-switching or separate logins required.
  • Cascading Goals: Link individual, departmental, and company goals with visual alignment and approval workflows.
  • Automated Check-ins: Progress reminders delivered via Teams chat as adaptive cards — update goals without leaving your conversation.

What I like

Adoption is high because there's no new tool to learn — everything happens in Teams, which employees already use daily. The all-in-one approach (goals, reviews, 1:1s, feedback, recognition) means fewer tools in the stack.

What falls short

Obvious but worth pointing out: it only works with Microsoft Teams. If your org uses Slack or anything else, you're out of luck. Customizability and integrations outside the Microsoft ecosystem are lacking. And like other HR platforms on this list, OKRs are one module among many — feature development will likely be slow because resources are spread thin across the entire platform.

Pricing

Free for up to 10 users. Essential is $7/user/month (annual) or $9/month (monthly). Professional is $11/user/month with advanced features. Nonprofits get up to 60% discount.

Quick links

Start with the free Starter plan for up to 10 users, or try a 30-day Professional trial.

19. Oboard

Oboard is a Ukraine-based OKR platform founded in 2018. Their approach is building native OKR apps for popular work tools — Jira, Salesforce, Confluence, and monday.com. If your teams already live in one of these tools, Oboard lets you track OKRs without context-switching.

Best for teams already embedded in Jira, Salesforce, Confluence, or monday.com who want OKRs integrated with their existing workflow.

Key Features

  • Native Platform Integrations: You get purpose-built OKR apps for Jira, Salesforce, Confluence, and monday.com. OKRs live directly inside the tools your team already uses.
  • Automatic Progress Updates: Link OKRs to Jira epics and issues — progress updates automatically when linked work items are completed. No manual syncing required.
  • Custom Fields & Grading: You can set custom fields on goals and configure your own OKR grading approach, including stretch goals and ambition levels.

What I like

If you're already in Jira, Salesforce, Confluence, or monday.com, there's no context-switching — OKRs just appear where you work. The customizability is also solid: you can configure grading approaches, set stretch goals, and add custom fields to adapt the tool to your process. And the free tier for up to 10 Jira users removes the barrier for small teams.

What falls short

Oboard is maintaining native integrations across four different platforms simultaneously — Jira, Salesforce, Confluence, and monday.com. For a small team, that's a lot to handle in parallel. The result is that OKR features are more basic than dedicated platforms: reporting is limited, permission management is simple, and you won't get the depth of analytics that larger companies need.

Pricing

Free for teams with 10 or fewer Jira users. Paid plans range from $0.09-1.80/user/month depending on instance size. See the full pricing page for details.

Quick links

Install from the marketplaces: Jira, Confluence, monday.com, Salesforce.

There's also a standalone web app — 30-day free trial, no credit card required.

20. Atlassian Goals

Atlassian Goals is Atlassian's native goal-tracking platform, released in 2024 as part of their "platform experiences" initiative. It's built for teams already using Jira and Confluence who want goals connected directly to their existing work. They've explicitly positioned it as a Microsoft Viva Goals replacement.

Best for teams already deep in the Atlassian ecosystem who want native goal tracking without adding another tool.

Key Features

  • Multi-Framework Support: Works with OKRs, SMART goals, KPIs, or your own custom framework. You're not locked into one methodology.
  • Native Jira Integration: Connect goals directly to Jira projects, epics, and issues. Goals update as work progresses, so you're not manually syncing.
  • Automated Updates: Monthly goal updates go out to stakeholders automatically. Notifications via email or Microsoft Teams keep everyone informed without chasing.

What I like

The customizability is nice — whether OKRs, SMART goals, KPIs, or your own framework, everything is possible. Connecting Projects, Jira work items, and Jira Product Discovery ideas directly to goals is a big plus if your entire company works in the Atlassian ecosystem. Means less friction. And importantly: it's not another Jira. The interface is refreshingly simple compared to Atlassian's other products.

What falls short

The biggest showstopper for larger teams: no way to restrict edit access. Anyone can update or alter goals, and there's no accessible logging to figure out what users did. It'll still take time until Atlassian Goals is mature enough to handle view-only users and proper permissions. If you need governance and audit trails, look elsewhere for now.

Pricing

Free for all Atlassian cloud customers with at least one active product (Jira, Confluence, etc.). No separate purchase required — it's included as a platform capability.

Quick links

Access Atlassian Goals through your existing Atlassian cloud site — look for "Goals" in the product switcher. No setup or marketplace install needed.

21. Asana

Asana is a San Francisco-based project management giant founded in 2008. They've got a Goals module that's actually somewhat useful — at least compared to other PM tools on this list. It's not a dedicated OKR platform, but if your team already lives in Asana, it might be enough.

Best for teams already invested in Asana who want lightweight goal tracking integrated with daily work.

Key Features

  • Strategy Plan Map: You get a visual alignment view showing how goals connect across the organization. Decent for seeing the big picture.
  • Flexible Progress Updates: You can choose how goals update — based on subgoals, Asana project status, linked tasks, or manual input. More options than most PM tools offer.
  • Goal Reminders: You can set automated reminders to keep goals current. Helps prevent the "set it and forget it" problem.

What I like

If you're already in the Asana ecosystem, Goals keeps everything in one place. Their goals module is good enough for basic OKR tracking, especially compared to other PM tools like ClickUp or monday.com. The flexibility in how goals update — via subgoals, project status, tasks, or manually — is a nice touch. And the reminder feature helps keep goals from going stale.

What falls short

Only three goal types: company, team, and individual. You can't distinguish between objectives and key results, or add strategic pillars. That makes it impossible to customize the hierarchy to how your org actually thinks about goals. And you can't auto-update goals via integrations with external tools — everything has to come from within Asana.

Pricing

Goals requires the Advanced plan at $24.99/user/month (annual billing). Starter ($10.99/user) and free plans don't include Goals. 30-day free trial available.

Quick links

If you're using Asana anyway, check the Goals module first. It might already do what you need.

22. Notion

Notion is a San Francisco-based all-in-one workspace with 20+ million users. It's not an OKR tool — it's a flexible database and documentation platform where you build your own OKR system from scratch or templates. DIY required.

Best for small teams already using Notion who want to keep everything in one place.

Key Features

  • Flexible Database System: Build custom OKR databases with linked relations, properties for owners, status, and progress.
  • Multiple Views: Cascade view with sub-items enabled is great for displaying OKR sets with nested key results. Notion's chart feature is powerful for OKR reporting if you set it up right.
  • Template Marketplace: Dozens of free OKR templates available, including Buffer's public OKR system.

What I like

If you're already using Notion and have fewer than ~30 people, stick with Notion. With a well-structured setup, you can get surprisingly far: use timeline view for your strategy plan, set up reminders for regular check-ins, build OKR dashboards with Notion charts, and link goals directly to your tasks. In my humble opinion, it's the best PM tool for OKRs — precisely because of its customizability and (mostly) intuitive UX. We use Notion ourselves at Mooncamp, and its modern, minimalist design was a huge inspiration for our own product.

What falls short

Notion isn't a purpose-built OKR software or strategy execution tool. You're gluing everything together yourself in DIY fashion, and once you hit 20-30 people, things start breaking apart. That's usually when it's time to switch. Updating progress is also a pain — there's no native progress property and no way to auto-update via integrations. You have to use formula properties or work with discrete statuses. And there's no alignment visualization, no OKR-specific analytics, and no specialized support for rolling out OKRs successfully.

Pricing

Plus is $10/user/month, Business is $20/user/month. The Plus plan covers almost everything you'd need to build an OKR system yourself. Business adds per-database permissions, which could make the setup slightly more scalable — but at that point, you're probably better off investing in a dedicated OKR tool.

Quick links

23. ClickUp

ClickUp is a San Diego-based all-in-one productivity platform founded in 2017. Goals is one feature among many — tasks, docs, whiteboards, time tracking, chat. It's not a dedicated OKR tool, but it can work for basic goal tracking.

Best for teams already using ClickUp who want basic goal tracking without another tool.

Key Features

  • Goals Module: You can create goals with measurable targets and link them to tasks, lists, or folders. Progress updates automatically as linked items are completed.
  • Custom Dashboards: You get flexible dashboards to visualize goal progress, team workload, and project status — customize with 50+ widget types.
  • Everything App: Goals sit alongside tasks, docs, whiteboards, time tracking, and chat. If you're already in ClickUp for project management, goals are one click away.

What I like

If you can get OKRs working in ClickUp — and that's a big if — the custom dashboards are actually quite powerful for drilling into progress across teams. And since ClickUp tries to be the "everything app," there's no context-switching between your daily work and your goals.

What falls short

I'm listing ClickUp for completeness. When companies talk to us about OKR tools, they've often outgrown their ClickUp setup (or their Excel sheet). ClickUp shines in many areas, but the goals module is its weakest link — arguably the worst of all the PM tools. The dedicated Goals feature is buried in the app for good reason. There's no clean way to display objectives and key results together, and the whole experience feels like an afterthought.

Pricing

Goals requires the Unlimited plan at $7/user/month (annual billing). Free Forever plan exists but doesn't include Goals. Business is $12/user/month.

Quick links

Goals is included in the Unlimited plan and up. Find it under the Apps button in the sidebar.

24.-25. Google Sheets & Microsoft Excel

Spreadsheets. The OG goal-tracking tool. Before OKR software existed, companies tracked objectives in Excel and Google Sheets — and many still do. If you're bootstrapped, just starting with OKRs, or skeptical about buying yet another SaaS tool, a well-structured spreadsheet might be all you need.

Google Sheets and Excel are best for small teams just starting with OKRs who want zero cost and complete flexibility.

Key Features

  • Complete Flexibility: Build exactly what you need. No feature bloat, no workflows you don't use. Your spreadsheet, your rules.
  • Zero Cost: Google Sheets is free. Excel comes with Microsoft 365, which most companies already have. No per-seat pricing or annual contracts.
  • Universal Familiarity: Everyone knows how to use a spreadsheet. No training required, no adoption curve to worry about.

What I like

When you're first rolling out OKRs, a spreadsheet forces you to focus on the fundamentals: what are we trying to achieve, and how will we measure success? You're not distracted by software features or configuration options. It's also disposable — if your OKR format evolves (and it will), you just adjust the columns. No migration headaches.

What falls short

Spreadsheets don't scale. Once you're past 20-30 people, tracking OKRs across teams becomes unwieldy. There's no alignment visualization, no automated reminders, no commenting on specific objectives. Version control becomes a nightmare if multiple people are editing. And you'll spend time maintaining the spreadsheet instead of focusing on the goals themselves.

Pricing

Google Sheets: Free with a Google account. Microsoft Excel: Included with Microsoft 365 ($6-$22/user/month depending on plan), or one-time purchase via Office standalone licenses.

So, what's the best OKR software right now?

Drum roll.

There's no single winner. The best OKR tool is the one your team will actually use — adoption kills more OKR programs than feature gaps ever will. So pick based on your reality, not a feature checklist.

That said, after testing everything on this list, here's where I'd start:

Best for mid-market and enterprises: Mooncamp

Mooncamp ticks the boxes if you need OKRs at scale: an intuitive interface that employees actually adopt, complete flexibility to match your internal processes and terminology, and a Customer Success team that's guided hundreds of rollouts worldwide. Mooncamp has strong integrations too (incl. MS Teams, Planner, and Power BI), making it the go-to replacement for Viva Goals.

Best for startups: Tability or OKRs Tool

Tability is lightweight, affordable, and genuinely easy to use. Great for teams under 50 who want OKRs without the overhead. OKRs Tool is even leaner — flat-rate pricing makes it ideal for bootstrapped startups.

Best for small teams just starting out: Google Sheets or Excel

I'm being serious. Before you spend money on software, prove that OKRs work for your team. A well-structured spreadsheet forces you to focus on what matters: setting good objectives and measuring progress. Once you outgrow it (and you will), you'll know exactly what you need from a real tool. Grab our free Google Sheets or Excel template to get started.

Best for leadership reporting: Cascade

Cascade is built for leadership that needs a centralized cockpit — multi-level strategic planning, Balanced Scorecard, portfolio views across business units. It's not about getting hundreds of employees into the app; it's about giving leadership visibility into how strategy cascades down. Heavy on enterprise features, less focused on day-to-day OKR adoption.

Best for all-in-one HR with lightweight OKRs: Leapsome or Lattice

Lattice and Leapsome are HR platforms first, goal tools second. If you want performance reviews, 1:1s, and basic goal tracking in one place. Both have decent goals features built in — not best-in-class, but good enough if your OKR needs are basic and you want to avoid tool sprawl. Just be mindful, that simply because you can link OKRs to performance reviews, doesn't mean you should.

Remember: the subscription is the cheap part. The expensive part is a failed rollout. Pick something your team will actually use.

Here's a quick reference:

Best OKR Software FAQ

What is OKR software?

OKR software helps teams set, track, and align Objectives and Key Results. It replaces spreadsheets with purpose-built features like goal hierarchies, progress tracking, check-in reminders, and reporting dashboards. Most tools also integrate with project management and communication apps.

What is the best OKR software?

It depends on your team size and needs. For mid-market and enterprise teams, Mooncamp and Workboard lead. For startups and small teams, Tability is a strong choice. If you're already using an HR platform like Lattice or Leapsome, their built-in OKR modules may be enough.

Is there free OKR software?

Yes. Tools like Google Sheets, Notion, Asana Goals, and Excel can all handle OKRs when you're starting out. Don't add a dedicated OKR tool to your stack just because it's free — stick with what you already use. Free OKR-specific software often adds complexity without solving real problems. Once you scale, paid tools become inevitable anyway — so focus on finding the right fit, not the cheapest option.

What is the best OKR software for startups?

The best OKR software for startups is often a tool you're already using. Avoiding tool bloat matters more at this stage. If your project management tool can handle goal tracking, use it. Otherwise, Google Sheets works fine until you outgrow it. Once you do, dedicated OKR tools like Mooncamp or Tability make sense.

Does Google still use OKRs?

Yes. Google has used OKRs since 1999 when John Doerr introduced them. They remain central to how Google sets and aligns goals across the company. Many other tech companies adopted OKRs after seeing Google's success with them.

What is the best Viva Goals alternative?

Microsoft discontinued Viva Goals in December 2025. Many former Viva Goals customers have moved to Mooncamp — it's the most similar experience, with native-like Teams integration and syncs to Power BI and Planner. If you don't want to add another tool, you can also track OKRs directly within Planner.

What's the difference between OKR software and project management tools?

Project management tools (Asana, ClickUp, monday.com) focus on tasks and deliverables. OKR software focuses on outcomes and alignment. Some PM tools have goals features, but they're usually basic. Dedicated OKR tools offer better hierarchy, cascading, and progress visualization. Many teams use both — OKR software for strategy, PM tools for execution.
