- Workpath wins 3 out of 7 categories, with 3 draws and 1 WorkBoard win. Workpath takes pricing, user interface, and support, while WorkBoard wins integrations and the remaining categories end in draws.
- Outgrowing WorkBoard or Workpath? Mooncamp gives mid-market and enterprise teams a flexible, adoption-friendly platform with fully configurable goal structures and advanced analytics, without the complexity ceiling of either tool.
Both WorkBoard and Workpath market themselves as strategy execution platforms for large organizations running OKRs at scale.
They share a focus on connecting leadership priorities to team-level outcomes, but they approach the problem from different directions and serve different buyer profiles.
WorkBoard leans heavily into AI-powered executive automation, while Workpath structures strategy execution around modular outcome management with deep European enterprise roots.
Choosing between them matters because the wrong fit can stall a rollout across thousands of employees before it gains momentum.
I tested both platforms to see how they compare across seven categories, plus a bonus pick for teams that need a different approach altogether.
What's new in WorkBoard?
WorkBoard absorbed Quantive's enterprise customer base after closing the acquisition in mid-2025, giving it the largest installed footprint in the OKR category. The migration brought over 40 organizations onto the WorkBoardAI platform and accelerated revenue growth past 30% year-over-year.
On the product side, AI-powered agents now handle recurring leadership tasks: a Chief of Staff agent drafts meeting pre-reads and tracks commitments, while a Leadership Coach agent flags misalignment and suggests corrective actions. Both connect to Microsoft 365 through a dedicated Copilot agent that surfaces OKR context inside the productivity suite.
What's new in Workpath?
Workpath launched an AI Agent Hub featuring ready-to-deploy agents with specialized roles that draft OKRs, flag KPI risks in real time, and generate executive-ready performance summaries. An AI Bootcamp program lets leaders design and launch custom agents without writing code.
The company also introduced a Viva Goals Migration Program offering white-glove data mapping and user provisioning for organizations transitioning from Microsoft Viva Goals, which was sunset in 2025.
WorkBoard vs Workpath — in a nutshell
WorkBoard is built for the C-suite down, automating business reviews and equipping executives with AI-driven strategic oversight. Workpath operates from the outcome up, linking goals, KPIs, initiatives, and resources into a connected system that tracks impact across departments.
In practice, the difference shows up in who adopts the platform. WorkBoard deployments tend to concentrate among leadership and strategy teams, while Workpath's modular licensing structure and unlimited free viewers aim for broader organizational visibility.
Here is a side-by-side overview of both tools, with Mooncamp included as a third reference point for context.

If you are evaluating either of these tools, these comparisons and alternatives roundups may also be useful:
Workpath undercuts WorkBoard on pricing transparency
WorkBoard does not disclose any pricing on its website, and the company's pricing page is unavailable. Third-party sources consistently estimate the Enterprise tier at roughly $50.00 per user per month with annual billing required, plus implementation fees ranging from $500 to $5,000 depending on deployment scope.
Some third-party listings reference a free tier and a Pro tier in the $9.00 to $20.00 per user per month range, but these estimates are unverifiable since WorkBoard does not confirm them publicly. I could not find any way to evaluate WorkBoard's cost against alternatives without first engaging a sales conversation.
WorkBoard subscription plans
Plan | Price | Key features |
|---|---|---|
Free | $0 | Basic objective alignment (unverified) |
Pro | ~$9.00-$20.00/user/mo* | Business analytics, workstreams, dedicated support (unverified) |
Enterprise | ~$50.00/user/mo* | AI agents, SSO, role-based access, advanced OKR functionality |
*Estimates from third-party sources. WorkBoard does not publish pricing publicly. Billed annually.
Workpath publishes its base pricing in EUR and structures it around a modular system. The Essential plan starts at EUR 7 per user per month (approximately $7.50), and the Professional plan starts at EUR 10 per user per month (approximately $10.75), both with discounts on annual billing.
A meaningful advantage is Workpath's unlimited free viewer licenses across all plans, which means anyone who needs read-only visibility can access goals without consuming a paid seat. Workpath also offers a 14-day free trial and a 3-to-4-month proof-of-value engagement for teams that want to validate the fit before committing.
Workpath subscription plans
Plan | Price | Key features |
|---|---|---|
Essential | From EUR 7/user/mo* | Single module, unlimited free viewers, AI & Agent Hub, integrations |
Professional | From EUR 10/user/mo* | Multiple modules, advanced analytics, resource management |
Enterprise | On request | 3+ modules, 500+ employees, tailored AI, dedicated support |
*10-15% discount on annual billing. Minimum 1-year contract required.
Workpath wins here. Published rates, unlimited free viewers, and a trial option make it possible to evaluate and budget for the platform without a sales call, while WorkBoard's opaque pricing creates unnecessary friction at the start of any evaluation process.
Workpath delivers a more navigable workspace
WorkBoard's interface is built around executive dashboards and status cards. The "My Objectives" view surfaces high-level signals like results at risk, overdue check-ins, and objectives needing attention, which are valuable for leadership users.
The challenge surfaces when non-executive users need to navigate the platform, where menus run deep and the information density demands familiarity with the navigation hierarchy. I found myself clicking through multiple levels to reach the data I was looking for, even after several sessions.
Workpath organizes its workspace around a left sidebar with clear sections: Home, Conversations, AI Companion, Check-ins, Workspaces, and Explore (which includes Goal Graph, Goal Explorer, Goal Filters, and Reporting Hub). The structure is logical, and the AI Companion chat panel sits within the workflow for contextual guidance.
The interface accommodates up to seven organizational levels without feeling cluttered. That said, Workpath has no mobile app, which limits its accessibility for distributed or field-based teams.
Workpath wins on user interface. Its workspace-based navigation scales across large organizations without overwhelming individual users, while WorkBoard's executive-optimized layout creates steeper onboarding demands for the wider team.
Both platforms offer strong goal management with distinct philosophies
WorkBoard approaches goal management through enterprise alignment trees where objectives cascade from strategic priorities down through business units, with automated data feeds from Jira, Azure DevOps, and Salesforce keeping progress current. The AI can also generate draft OKRs from strategy documents, which accelerates the planning phase for leadership teams.
The platform also tracks cross-functional dependencies and visualizes them through organizational heatmaps that show progress at every level. For a goal management tool serving a multi-layered hierarchy, the top-down visibility is genuinely strong.
Workpath structures its goal management around what it calls outcome management, where goals, KPIs, initiatives, and resources exist as separate but interconnected objects visualized through a Goal Graph. A contribution request system formalizes cross-team dependencies rather than leaving alignment to informal coordination.
The platform supports multiple frameworks beyond OKRs, including Hoshin Kanri and SAFe, with customizable terminology so organizations can adapt the language to their existing processes. I appreciated that the Goal Explorer lets you filter goals by confidence level, collaborator, label, and organizational level, making it practical to find specific goals across a large deployment.
A draw. WorkBoard delivers superior top-down strategic alignment with automated heatmaps and AI-generated drafts from strategy documents. Workpath delivers superior cross-functional outcome modeling with its interconnected goal-KPI-initiative architecture and multi-framework flexibility.
WorkBoard automates executive reporting while Workpath tracks organizational health
WorkBoard's standout reporting capability is its automated business review generation, where monthly and quarterly review dashboards combine OKR progress, workstream updates, headline metrics, and narrative summaries into a single real-time view. The AI assembles wins, risks, and action items automatically, reducing hours of manual slide deck preparation.
Organizational heatmaps give leadership an instant read on which teams are on track, at risk, or falling behind. For executives who need a reporting dashboard that answers "where do we stand" without manual compilation, this is a genuine time saver.
Workpath takes a different approach with its Cycle Steering dashboard, which separates analytics into Planning, Execution, and Adoption & Engagement tabs. The Adoption tab is particularly distinctive: it tracks metrics like the percentage of teams with strategies, teams steering with KPIs, and collaboration rates over time, giving leaders visibility into how deeply the organization has embraced the goal-setting process.
The analytics suite does require upfront configuration before the data is meaningful. I noticed that getting the dashboards calibrated to reflect accurate organizational data took some setup effort, but once configured, the trend analysis over multiple cycles is valuable.
A draw, with complementary strengths. WorkBoard wins for AI-automated executive reviews that eliminate manual MBR/QBR preparation. Workpath wins for adoption and engagement analytics that measure organizational maturity over time.
Both tools prioritize strategy operations over HR features
WorkBoard differentiates with its AI agent ecosystem, where a Digital Chief of Staff prepares meeting briefings, identifies strategic risks, and generates executive summaries, while a Leadership Coach guides managers through performance conversations. These agents represent a category of functionality that few OKR platforms offer at similar depth.
WorkBoard also includes workstreams with customizable columns for tracking initiatives alongside objectives. I found that this combination of AI-driven executive support and project tracking within a single platform keeps strategic and operational work connected.
The Quantive acquisition expanded WorkBoard's customer base and product roadmap, though the long-term integration impact remains to be seen. Certification programs include the OKR Coach Certification (10,000+ graduates since 2016) and a Results Management Executive track.
Workpath's additional features center on its AI Agent Hub with specialized agents and the ability to create custom agents through the AI Bootcamp. The Conversations feature supports async collaboration directly within the goal context, keeping strategic discussions connected to the objectives they reference.
The Workpath Academy provides structured learning paths from self-paced courses to trainer-led masterclasses, and the consulting arm offers operating model assessments and KPI mastery programs. The Viva Goals migration program is a timely addition for organizations displaced by Microsoft's decision to sunset that product.
A draw. WorkBoard's AI agents provide unique executive automation that no direct competitor replicates at the same depth. Workpath's AI Bootcamp and consulting services provide unique organizational enablement that extends beyond product training into strategic transformation.
WorkBoard edges ahead on Microsoft ecosystem depth
WorkBoard offers 20-plus enterprise integrations with native connections to Microsoft Teams, Jira, Azure DevOps, Salesforce, Workday, Slack, and Outlook, plus a dedicated Microsoft 365 Copilot agent.
Workpath provides 15-to-20 integrations including MS Teams, Jira, Power BI, Azure DevOps, Excel Online, Microsoft Planner, and deep HRIS connectors for Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, and Personio.
WorkBoard's Copilot agent gives it a meaningful edge in Microsoft-heavy environments because OKR context surfaces directly inside productivity workflows without switching apps.
I found that Workpath compensates with its OpenAPI-standard API and MCP (Model Context Protocol), plus deeper European HRIS connectors for Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, and Personio that WorkBoard does not match.
WorkBoard wins on integrations. Its Copilot agent embeds OKR data directly into the Microsoft 365 workflow, giving it a practical advantage for organizations operating in that ecosystem.
Workpath invests more heavily in strategic enablement
WorkBoard provides a knowledge base, email, chat, and phone support, backed by certification programs that have graduated over 10,000 OKR coaches since 2016.
Workpath pairs dedicated onboarding managers and customer success managers with the Workpath Academy's structured learning paths and strategic consulting services that include operating model assessments and KPI mastery programs.
I found Workpath's enablement depth more practical for an enterprise rollout because its consulting goes beyond product training into organizational transformation.
WorkBoard's certification programs are more widely recognized, but reported challenges reaching billing and support teams offset that advantage.
Workpath wins on support. Its combination of dedicated success management, structured academy, and strategic consulting provides end-to-end enablement that large-scale OKR rollouts demand.
Final call: WorkBoard vs Workpath
Workpath takes the overall win in this comparison, earning victories in 3 of 7 categories: pricing, user interface, and support. Three categories ended in draws (OKR management, reporting, additional features), and WorkBoard won integrations outright.
WorkBoard remains the stronger choice for a specific profile. If your organization runs primarily on Microsoft 365, needs AI-automated executive business reviews, and deploys OKRs only at the leadership layer, its Copilot agent and MBR/QBR automation are genuinely unmatched.
Workpath is the better fit for organizations that need broader adoption. Its published pricing, unlimited viewer licenses, multi-framework support, and strategic consulting make it easier to scale OKRs beyond the executive team and into the operating rhythm of every department.
The deciding factor is deployment scope. Narrow, leadership-focused deployments favor WorkBoard's depth, while organization-wide rollouts favor Workpath's accessibility and enablement infrastructure.
Workpath wins this comparison, but it comes with its own constraints. Getting every employee across multiple departments to engage consistently requires a meaningful onboarding investment and dedicated change management. The goal architecture is built around its modular outcome management system, which may feel prescriptive for organizations running non-standard or hybrid frameworks. Reporting and analytics deliver strong adoption metrics but require upfront configuration before dashboards reflect meaningful data. If those limitations matter, Mooncamp is worth a look.
