Tability vs WorkBoard: Which is better in 2026?

TL;DR
  • WorkBoard wins 4 out of 7 categories, making it the stronger choice for enterprise strategy execution. Tability takes pricing, user interface, and integrations breadth, earning its place as the better pick for nimble teams that want fast setup and transparent costs.
  • Outgrowing Tability or WorkBoard? Mooncamp combines enterprise-grade reporting and configurable goal frameworks with an interface teams actually adopt, without forcing you into opaque sales cycles or capping out at basic dashboards.

The OKR software market has split into two distinct tiers: tools built for speed and tools built for scale.

Tability and WorkBoard sit on opposite ends of that spectrum, which makes this comparison especially useful for teams trying to decide how much platform they actually need.

Tability is the kind of tool a 30-person product team can roll out over lunch and have running by end of week. WorkBoard is the kind of tool a Fortune 500 CTO deploys across 5,000 people with a dedicated implementation partner.

The question is whether the gap between them is worth the price difference, or whether both leave a meaningful hole in the middle.

I tested both platforms across seven categories to find out, plus a bonus pick for teams that land between the two extremes.

What's new in Tability?

Tability's biggest move in 2025 was the launch of Tabby, an AI agent that handles the entire OKR lifecycle from drafting objectives to flagging at-risk key results. It goes beyond the suggestion-box approach most tools take with AI, acting more like a persistent assistant that nudges teams through each phase of the goal cycle.

The other notable addition is AI Retrospectives, which pull together all weekly check-ins from a quarter and generate a narrative summary with actionable next steps. For teams that dread writing quarterly reviews, this alone saves hours.

What's new in WorkBoard?

WorkBoard made headlines in May 2025 by acquiring Quantive (formerly Gtmhub), combining the two most prominent enterprise OKR platforms into a single company. The acquisition expands WorkBoard's data connector library and adds Quantive's customer base, though the product consolidation is still ongoing.

On the product side, WorkBoard launched two AI agents in early 2025: a Digital Chief of Staff and a Leadership Coach that proactively surface strategic risks, generate briefings, and coach managers on goal quality. A Microsoft 365 Copilot Agent also shipped, embedding OKR context directly into Microsoft productivity apps.

Tability vs WorkBoard — in a nutshell

Tability is a focused goal-tracking tool that values fast adoption and weekly accountability rituals. WorkBoard is a strategy execution engine designed to cascade objectives through complex hierarchies and power executive-level business reviews.

The practical difference shows up immediately. A team lead on Tability updates their OKRs in five minutes via Slack; a VP on WorkBoard runs a full monthly business review with AI-generated briefings and heatmap scorecards.

Here is how the two platforms stack up across the key evaluation criteria, with Mooncamp included (in parentheses) as a third reference point.

Tability's transparent pricing gives it a clear advantage

Tability publishes its pricing openly. Two paid tiers, no seat minimums, and a 14-day free trial on both plans.

The Basic plan at $6.00 per user per month (billed annually) covers OKR tracking, AI goal setting, strategy maps, and Slack integration. The Premium plan at $10.00 per user per month unlocks automated check-ins, custom dashboards, all integrations, SAML SSO, AI retrospectives, and two free read-only seats per paid user.

I found the read-only seats particularly useful for sharing progress with stakeholders who do not need editing access.

WorkBoard does not publish pricing anywhere on its website. The pricing page returns a 404, and the only path forward is booking a demo through the sales team.

Third-party estimates place WorkBoard somewhere between $9.00 and $50.00 per user per month depending on the tier and company size, but these figures cannot be verified. For an organization trying to build a business case, this opacity adds unnecessary friction to the evaluation process.

Verdict

Tability wins on pricing by a wide margin, with transparent rates and no sales calls required. WorkBoard's hidden pricing is a dealbreaker for organizations that need to compare vendors before engaging sales.

Tability's clean interface makes onboarding effortless

Tability organizes everything around "plans," which act as containers for objectives, key results, and initiatives. The left sidebar keeps navigation simple with a plan list, a focus view, a strategy map, and visual indicators like the Net Confidence Score widget that surface health at a glance.

The design philosophy is clearly "do less, show more," with no nested menus to hunt through and no settings pages that require a tutorial. I had my first plan created within ten minutes of signing up.

WorkBoard takes the opposite approach, opening to a dashboard of status cards showing updates needed, results at risk, check-in reminders, and alignment opportunities. Navigation spans multiple top-level views: Objectives, Teamwork, Meetings, Reviews, and more.

For executive users who want a command center, this density is a feature. For everyone else, the volume of menus, panels, and widgets requires deliberate onboarding before the platform feels navigable.

Verdict

Tability wins on user interface. Its focused layout gets teams productive within their first session, while WorkBoard's feature-packed dashboard requires dedicated training before users find their footing.

WorkBoard's strategic depth outshines Tability for complex organizations

Tability structures goals around a plan-based model where each plan holds objectives, key results, and linked initiatives. The built-in OKR quality score works like a set of guardrails for goal-setting: it checks whether each objective is specific enough to act on, whether key results have quantifiable targets, and whether someone is clearly accountable for the outcome.

AI plays a central role: Tabby helps draft OKRs, suggests improvements, and generates retrospectives at the end of each quarter. Weekly check-ins happen via the app or Slack, and the process genuinely takes five minutes or less.

WorkBoard embeds OKRs within a broader strategy execution framework, cascading objectives across business units and identifying cross-functional dependencies automatically. Heatmaps give leaders a one-screen view of organizational health, highlighting which teams are on track and which need attention.

The MBR (Monthly Business Review) functionality is where WorkBoard truly separates itself, combining OKR progress with contextual analysis and turning raw data into structured narratives that leadership teams can act on. I found this far more useful than manually compiling slides from scattered dashboards.

Verdict

WorkBoard wins on OKR and goal management for organizations with multi-layered hierarchies. Its dependency tracking and business review integration deliver strategic visibility that Tability's plan-based model was not designed to provide.

WorkBoard delivers executive-grade reporting that Tability cannot match

Tability ships three built-in report views -- Key Results vs. Tasks progress, Confidence Trends, and Net Confidence Score over time -- that any team member can generate instantly and share via link or CSV/PDF export.

The Premium tier adds two features that matter most for leadership. Custom dashboards let managers build focused views for different stakeholder groups, and AI retrospectives turn a quarter of weekly check-ins into a structured narrative with highlights and recommended actions. A dedicated presentation mode and a TV mode for office displays handle the last-mile problem of getting goal data in front of the right audience at the right time.

WorkBoard's reporting capabilities operate at a different altitude. AI-generated Business Review Briefs synthesize progress, gaps, and forecasts into structured documents.

Heatmaps show organizational health across every team simultaneously, while scorecards track headlight metrics alongside OKR progress.

The narrative quality of WorkBoard's reports stood out to me. Rather than just showing charts, the platform explains what the data means, where gaps exist, and what should happen next.

Verdict

WorkBoard wins on reporting. Its AI-powered business reviews and organizational heatmaps deliver the strategic depth that large organizations require, while Tability's reports stay functional but team-level.

Different tools, different extras: Tability leans on AI coaching while WorkBoard builds an execution layer

Tability's extras are tiered across its plans, which matters when budgeting. On Basic, every paid user gets AI credits for goal generation and access to kanban-style initiative boards that link execution tasks directly to key results. Premium unlocks async standups for collecting team updates without a meeting, plus two free read-only seats per paid user -- a practical way to give executives dashboard access without inflating the license count.

The Onboarding Accelerator, with live coaching webinars three times a week and a growing template library, serves as the self-service alternative to a dedicated CSM. The scope is intentionally constrained: Tability covers goal tracking and lightweight execution, nothing more.

WorkBoard pushes into territory that most OKR tools do not touch, with Running Business Reviews that provide structured MBR and QBR workflows. AI agents act as persistent strategic assistants, surfacing risks, suggesting next actions, and generating leadership-ready summaries.

The Microsoft 365 Copilot Agent deserves special mention. I was impressed by how it surfaces OKR context directly inside Teams and Outlook, removing the need to switch apps for routine progress updates.

Verdict

WorkBoard wins on additional features for enterprises that need structured review workflows and AI-driven strategic assistants. Tability wins for teams that value focused productivity features like kanban boards, standups, and stakeholder visibility without platform bloat.

Both platforms integrate broadly, but Tability covers more of the modern stack

Tability offers 20+ native integrations spanning project management (Jira, Asana, ClickUp, Linear, monday.com), data connectors (Amplitude, ChartMogul, Salesforce, Power BI, BigQuery), and communication tools (Slack, Microsoft Teams).

WorkBoard's integration ecosystem targets enterprise systems: Workday, ServiceNow, Snowflake, Azure DevOps, Salesforce, and the Microsoft 365 Copilot Agent that embeds OKRs directly into Teams and Outlook.

I noticed Tability covers more of the tools that growth-stage companies actually use, like Linear, ClickUp, and Amplitude, while WorkBoard prioritizes the systems Fortune 500 IT departments have already standardized on.

The practical implication: if your stack includes modern product and engineering tools, Tability connects more naturally; if your stack runs on Microsoft and Workday, WorkBoard fits like a glove.

Verdict

A draw. Tability covers the modern startup-to-midmarket stack more completely, while WorkBoard's enterprise-focused connectors and Copilot integration are unmatched in large Microsoft-centric environments.

WorkBoard's multi-channel support edges ahead for enterprise deployments

Tability provides email and live chat during local business hours (9 AM to 5 PM GMT+10) on the Basic plan, upgrading to 24/7 coverage on Premium.

WorkBoard offers email, chat, and phone support alongside dedicated customer success managers and professional services that include OKR coaching and implementation consulting.

For my testing, Tability's response times were adequate, but the Australian timezone created noticeable delays for questions submitted during US or European business hours.

WorkBoard's structured enablement program, with certification tracks and dedicated onboarding partners, gives enterprise buyers the confidence that large-scale rollouts will not stall.

Verdict

WorkBoard wins on support. Phone access, professional OKR coaching services, and structured enterprise onboarding provide the safety net that complex deployments demand.

Final call: Tability vs WorkBoard

WorkBoard is the stronger platform overall, winning four of seven categories. Its strategic depth, executive reporting, business review workflows, and support infrastructure make it the right choice for large organizations running OKRs across hundreds or thousands of employees.

Tability earns clear victories on pricing, user interface, and integration breadth. For teams under 200 people that want transparent costs, fast onboarding, and a tool that connects to modern product stacks, Tability delivers more value per dollar.

The deciding factor is organizational complexity. Teams that need structured quarterly reviews and cross-unit dependency tracking will outgrow Tability quickly, while teams that need a simple weekly check-in cadence will find WorkBoard's complexity unjustifiable.

Neither tool occupies the middle ground well. Tability caps out when reporting and goal architecture demands grow, and WorkBoard overbuilds for teams that are not ready for enterprise-grade ceremony.

What if you need more?

WorkBoard's strategic capabilities come with trade-offs. The interface demands a dedicated onboarding investment before most team members can use it independently, the goal framework centers on a single OKR methodology without the flexibility to adapt to Balanced Scorecards, OGSM, or custom models, and reporting follows preconfigured layouts that limit how teams visualize and slice their data. For organizations that want enterprise depth without these constraints, Mooncamp is worth a look.
