Best Tools for SaaS Companies Doing Quarterly OKR Reviews (2026)

8 tools compared
Top Picks

Most SaaS teams don't abandon their OKRs at the planning offsite. They abandon them somewhere around week three.

The quarterly OKR review is where that becomes impossible to hide. Someone spends the night before the meeting chasing owners on Slack, reopening a spreadsheet nobody has touched since April, and reverse-engineering progress numbers from memory. The review itself turns into a reporting exercise — a set of confident-sounding updates assembled retroactively — rather than a conversation about what actually moved and what to do next quarter. That's the difference between OKRs as an operating rhythm and OKRs as annual paperwork with a quarterly deadline.

The tooling matters more than most teams admit here, and 2026 is an awkward moment to be shopping. The OKR software category has consolidated hard: Microsoft retired Viva Goals at the end of December 2025 and explicitly declined to replace it, while WorkBoard acquired Quantive (formerly Gtmhub) in May 2025 and folded it into its own platform — quantive.com now redirects to workboard.com. Two of the names that would have topped this list three years ago no longer exist as products you can buy. Vendor viability is now a real selection criterion, not a footnote.

So rather than ranking by feature count, this guide evaluates tools against the four things that determine whether a team is still updating its OKRs in week ten:

Does it nudge? A check-in cadence with automated reminders in Slack or Teams is the single biggest predictor of whether key results stay current. Tools that wait passively for you to log in lose.

Does progress come from real data, or from someone typing? A key result wired to Salesforce, Jira, or a warehouse query updates whether or not anyone remembers. A key result that requires a human to look up a number and enter it will drift.

Is there a real close? Quarter-end needs a scoring or grading step plus written learnings — otherwise last quarter's OKRs just quietly vanish and the same mistakes repeat.

Can you see the whole tree? Company objective down to individual key result, in one view, without exporting anything.

I've flagged honestly where a general project management tool is being bent into an OKR shape versus where you're buying a purpose-built OKR product — because that trade-off, not price, is usually the real decision. All pricing below was verified against live vendor pages in August 2026, including both monthly and annual billing states where a toggle exists. If you're still choosing your underlying work system, start with project management tools or our guide to lightweight project management tools for small startups.

OKR and strategy execution software built around a Strategy Map

💰 Free for up to 5 users. Paid plans billed annually: Premium $7.20/€6.40 per user/month and Supreme $8.80/€8 per user/month (10% annual discount). Billed quarterly: Premium $7.92/€7.04 and Supreme $9.68/€8.80 per user/month. Minimum 5 paid licenses, volume discounts as seat count grows, and Supreme view-only licenses at $1.75/€1.50 per user/month.

Perdoo is a purpose-built OKR platform, and it shows in exactly the places that decide whether a quarterly review is a conversation or a reconstruction. The weekly check-in takes about five minutes per person and captures three things: key result progress, a confidence status (on track, needs attention, off track), and blockers. Reminders push through Slack and Microsoft Teams rather than waiting for someone to open the app, and the check-in data feeds dashboards and scheduled email progress reports automatically. By the time you reach the quarterly review, the numbers already exist.

The bigger differentiator for SaaS teams is that key results can update themselves. Perdoo's integrations cover Jira, Asana, Salesforce, HubSpot, Google Analytics, Google Sheets, Excel Online, and a two-way Power BI connection, plus Zapier and a GraphQL API. A revenue key result wired to Salesforce moves whether or not the owner remembers it is Friday — which is the whole game. Structurally, Perdoo pushes you to define an Ultimate Goal and three to five Strategic Pillars, and every OKR connects explicitly to a Pillar, so the alignment view genuinely runs from company strategy down to an individual key result.

One honest note on quarter-end: Perdoo deliberately does not do numeric OKR scoring, and has published its reasoning for why grading OKRs is counterproductive. Instead the objective lead closes each OKR with a status (achieved, partially achieved, missed, postponed), a star-based execution rating, and written learnings, ideally in the first week of the new quarter. If your board expects a 0.7-style number, that's friction. If you care more about what the team learned, it's arguably the better ritual.

Strategy MapOKRs and KPIs TogetherWeekly Check-insCascade Views and AlignmentAutomatic Progress Updates from IntegrationsCustomizable OKR Closing ProcessPerformance and Engagement LayerAI Assistant, AI Coach, and MCP Server

Pros

  • Weekly five-minute check-ins with Slack and Teams reminders keep key results current without a manager chasing anyone
  • Key results auto-update from Jira, Salesforce, HubSpot, Google Sheets, and Power BI, so progress reflects real data rather than recollection
  • Ultimate Goal and Strategic Pillars model forces every OKR to connect to company strategy, making the alignment tree genuinely useful in reviews
  • Free for up to five users with full check-ins and integrations, so leadership can pilot a full quarter before paying
  • Structured quarter-end close with status, execution rating, and written learnings that carry into next quarter's planning

Cons

  • Refuses numeric OKR scoring on principle, which is a poor fit if your leadership expects a 0.0-1.0 grade per key result
  • Default notification frequency is heavy and notification customization is limited, which can train people to ignore the reminders
  • The Ultimate Goal and Pillar structure feels rigid for teams that want to run OKRs loosely
  • Per-seat pricing with a five-license minimum and no bundled users, and the mobile app is thinner than desktop

Our Verdict: Best overall for SaaS companies that want a purpose-built OKR product people actually maintain through the quarter — provided you're comfortable with learnings-based closure instead of numeric grades.

OKR and strategy execution platform with a structured quarterly grading workflow

💰 As of August 2026 Profit.co publishes no prices at all. The pricing page is enterprise-only: you select modules (OKRs & Task Management, Performance Management & Goals, Project Portfolio Management, Balanced Scorecard) plus optional add-ons, and sales builds a custom proposal based on module mix and user count. Per the pricing FAQ, every plan includes a dedicated Customer Success Manager, guided onboarding, Athena AI strategy intelligence, SSO and enterprise integrations, 300+ prebuilt KPI templates, and a 99.9% uptime SLA. Bespoke volume pricing is offered for 500+ users, multi-region rollouts, and on-premises deployments. No free-forever plan is listed; the only self-serve entry is a 30-day free trial with no credit card required. There is no monthly/annual billing toggle on the pricing page.

Profit.co has the most rigorous quarter-end close of anything on this list, which makes it the strongest pick if the review itself — not day-to-day tracking — is where your process breaks down. Its "Reflect & Reset" workflow runs in two explicit phases. First, Reflect: the team answers organization-defined reflection questions to capture what was learned, before anyone looks at scores. Then Reset: each key result gets a decision — close it out, or carry it forward into next quarter. That second step is the one almost every other tool leaves to a spreadsheet, and it is the difference between a review that ends in a decision and one that ends in a slide.

Grading is equally structured. The default is percentage completion against industry bands of 0-30, 30-70, and 70-100, with optional custom key result scoring that lets you define commitment-level buckets on a 1, 5, 10, or 100-point scale. Objective scores are computed as an average or weighted average of their key results and roll up through team, department, and corporate levels automatically. Check-in cadence is genuinely configurable — weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, or specific days of the month, set per key result and defaultable per department, with a grace period governing lateness and a check-in history that filters by on-time, late, missed, and upcoming. Managers can see who is actually keeping their key results current, which is exactly the visibility a quarterly review needs.

Key results also auto-update from over 100 integrations, including Jira, Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive, Azure DevOps, GitHub, Google Sheets, Zendesk, and direct SQL sources like PostgreSQL, Snowflake, and BigQuery. The trade-offs are real, though. Profit.co rebuilt its pricing page as enterprise-only during 2026 — there are no published prices at all, and the structure is now modular (OKRs, performance management, portfolio management, balanced scorecard, plus add-ons) priced by module and user count via sales. The free plan that third-party sites still cite is gone; the self-serve entry point is a 30-day trial with no credit card. Reviewers also consistently describe a steep learning curve and a dense interface with a lot on screen at once.

OKR Management and Cascading AlignmentData-Driven Key ResultsConfigurable Check-in CadenceCheck-in Discipline TrackingReflect and Reset Grading Workflow300+ Prebuilt KPI TemplatesPerformance Management and ReviewsBalanced Scorecard and Portfolio Modules

Pros

  • "Reflect & Reset" gives the most structured quarter-end close in the category — capture learnings first, then explicitly close or carry forward each key result
  • Highly configurable check-in cadence per key result, with grace periods and on-time/late/missed reporting so managers can see who is keeping OKRs current
  • Flexible grading with percentage bands or custom commitment-level scoring, rolling up automatically from key result to objective to department
  • 100+ integrations including Jira, Salesforce, HubSpot, and direct SQL sources like Snowflake and BigQuery for auto-updating key results
  • Alignment supports both top-down cascading and bottom-up roll-up, with automatic recalculation when a key result is realigned to a new parent

Cons

  • No published pricing as of 2026 — the pricing page is enterprise-only with a Talk to Sales CTA, so budgeting requires a sales conversation
  • No free plan; the only self-serve option is a 30-day trial, and the free tier that many third-party listings still cite no longer exists
  • Steep learning curve with a dense interface that reviewers describe as having too many options on screen at once
  • Modular pricing by module and user count makes total cost hard to predict as you add performance management or portfolio features

Our Verdict: Best for SaaS companies whose quarterly review process needs real rigor — structured grading and a formal close — provided you're willing to go through sales to get a price.

Work management platform that helps teams orchestrate their work

💰 Free plan available. Starter at $10.99/user/month (annual), Advanced at $24.99/user/month (annual). Enterprise and Enterprise+ plans with custom pricing.

Asana is a project management tool bent into an OKR shape, but it is the most natural bend of the lot — and for a SaaS team already running its work in Asana, that counts for more than any purity argument. Asana Goals lets you create company, team, and individual goals and then connect real projects and tasks as "contributing work," so goal progress updates as the underlying work completes. That is genuine automation from real data, with an important limitation: the data is whatever already lives in Asana. A key result about deployment frequency or closed-won revenue still needs a manual number or an integration, because Asana doesn't know about your CRM by default.

Where it wins for quarterly reviews is the strategy-to-execution link. When a leader asks "why is this key result at 40%?" during a review, the answer is one click away — the contributing projects are right there, with owners and due dates. Most purpose-built OKR tools can tell you a number is behind; Asana can show you the actual work that is behind. The goal hierarchy also runs cleanly from company to team to individual, and status updates on goals prompt owners for a written narrative alongside the percentage.

The honest gaps: there is no formal quarter-end scoring or grading workflow, so the 0.0-1.0 ritual has to live in a doc or a spreadsheet outside the tool. Check-in reminders exist for project status updates but are weaker than the dedicated Slack and Teams nudges that Perdoo or Weekdone send for key results specifically. And the pricing gate is real — Goals is only available on the Advanced plan at US$24.99 per user per month billed annually, which is a significant step up from Starter at US$10.99. For a 40-person company that's roughly $12,000 a year, and you're buying a whole PM platform, not an OKR tool. If reporting depth is your actual pain point, our list of Asana alternatives with better reporting for executive teams covers the trade-offs.

Multiple Project ViewsGoals & OKR TrackingWorkflow AutomationPortfoliosAI Teammates (Beta)Custom FieldsProject DashboardsIntegrations

Pros

  • Goal progress rolls up automatically from contributing projects and tasks, so reviews can drill from a stalled key result straight into the work behind it
  • Clean company-to-team-to-individual goal hierarchy that non-technical teams navigate without training
  • No separate tool to adopt — OKRs live where the work already happens, which is the single biggest driver of sustained usage
  • Goal status updates prompt a written narrative alongside the percentage, which improves the quality of quarterly review discussion

Cons

  • Goals is gated to the Advanced plan at US$24.99 per user per month billed annually, roughly 2.3x the Starter price
  • No formal OKR scoring or grading workflow at quarter end — the 0.0-1.0 ritual has to happen outside the tool
  • Automatic progress only reflects work tracked in Asana; revenue, product, and analytics key results still need manual updates or custom integrations
  • Check-in reminders are oriented around project status rather than key result check-ins specifically

Our Verdict: Best for SaaS teams already standardized on Asana who want goals genuinely connected to daily work — if you can justify the Advanced tier and don't need formal grading.

Quarterly OKRs paired with automated weekly check-ins

💰 Free for up to 3 users. Paid plans are sold as fixed user packages in bands rather than per seat, starting at $90/month billed annually ($108/month billed monthly) for the 4-10 user band. Effective per-user cost drops as the band grows, from $9/user/month down to $3.75/user/month at 500 users (annual billing). Over 500 users is custom. 14-day free trial for 4 or more users, no credit card required.

Weekdone solves one problem extremely well: the weekly habit. Its Plans-Progress-Problems check-in is the clearest recurring ritual in the category — each person lists what they plan to do next week, what they completed, and what is blocking them, attached directly to team and personal objectives. The automation around it is genuinely hands-off: each employee gets a reminder email, non-submitters get chased automatically, and the compiled report is generated and emailed to managers without anyone assembling it. For a small SaaS team whose OKRs die from neglect rather than from bad data, that reminder loop is the actual fix.

Progress tracking is on a 0-100% scale with an auto-calculated expected pace from the quarter start, and status colors flag whether a key result is exceeded, on track, at risk, or off track relative to where it should be by that date. That pace calculation is more useful in a quarterly review than a raw percentage, because it answers "are we behind?" rather than just "where are we?" The alignment tree runs company to department to team to individual, and there are leadership dashboards plus XLS and PDF export for the review deck itself.

The significant weakness for the data-driven criterion: Weekdone's integrations (Jira, Asana, Basecamp, Google Tasks, Slack, Teams, Zapier) mostly import tasks into weekly check-ins rather than moving key result values. Only Google Sheets keeps imported data automatically updated. So progress stays largely manual — you're buying a disciplined habit, not an automated dashboard. Pricing is also unusual: Weekdone sells fixed user packages in bands rather than per seat, free up to three users, then $90 per month billed annually ($108 monthly) for the 4-10 band. A six-person team pays for the ten-user package, which reviewers reasonably call out as poor value at the low end of each band.

Quarterly OKR ManagementWeekly Check-ins (Plans, Progress, Problems)Automated Reminders and Weekly ReportsOKR Alignment TreeProgress Scoring and Status ColorsLeadership Dashboards and ReportsFeedback, Recognition and 1:1sIntegrations and API

Pros

  • The Plans-Progress-Problems weekly check-in is the strongest recurring habit in the category, and the reminder plus auto-chase loop is fully automated
  • Expected-pace calculation shows whether a key result is behind schedule, not just its raw percentage — far more useful in a review
  • Every paid package includes a dedicated OKR coach, onboarding, and quarterly OKR review sessions, which meaningfully helps first-time OKR teams
  • Free for up to three users, and simple enough that non-technical teams adopt it without training

Cons

  • Integrations import tasks into check-ins rather than auto-updating key result values, so OKR progress remains largely manual
  • Band pricing means you pay for the whole package — a six-person team funds a ten-user tier at $90 per month billed annually
  • Interface looks dated and reviewers consistently report it being slow, with awkward navigation between weekly summaries
  • Weekly-only reporting cadence with limited KPI and external data automation

Our Verdict: Best for small SaaS teams under 30 people whose OKRs fail from broken habits rather than bad data — you're buying the weekly ritual and the coaching, not automation.

AI strategy execution and enterprise OKR platform

💰 Per-user pricing starting around $9/user/month; Enterprise plans (custom pricing) for 150+ employee organizations.

WorkBoard is the most directly aimed at the quarterly review itself, rather than at OKR tracking generally. Its defining capability is automated business reviews: AI agents generate briefs, scorecards, and pre-read decks for MBRs and QBRs from live OKR data, so leadership stops spending the two weeks before a review building slides. If your organization's actual pain is that quarter-end consumes an enormous amount of senior time in deck assembly, that is a genuinely different value proposition from everything else on this list.

It is also now the consolidator of the category. WorkBoard acquired Quantive — formerly Gtmhub — in May 2025 and has been migrating those customers onto its platform, which makes it one of the safer long-term bets on vendor viability at a moment when OKR products have been disappearing. The platform covers cascading objectives across business units, action and meeting tracking tied to the OKRs they affect, strategy maps, an AI coach that helps draft and refine key results, and two-way sync with Slack, Teams, Jira, Salesforce, and Azure DevOps. Enterprise fundamentals are there too: SOC 2 Type II, SAML SSO, and SCIM provisioning.

The catch is fit. This is enterprise software — the customer logos are Boeing, Workday, and A.O. Smith — and it prices accordingly. WorkBoard no longer publishes pricing at all; its pricing page now redirects to a demo request form, so expect an enterprise quote and a sales cycle rather than a self-serve signup. Reviewers describe the interface as dense and occasionally slow, with a steeper learning curve than lightweight OKR tools. A 25-person SaaS startup will find it overbuilt and overpriced; a 2,000-person one running formal QBRs across business units is exactly the target.

OKR ManagementAutomated Business ReviewsAI Coach and InsightsAction and Meeting TrackingStrategy Maps and DashboardsIntegrationsEnterprise Security and SSOAI-Powered Dependency Detection

Pros

  • Automated QBR and MBR scorecards and pre-read decks generated from live OKR data — directly eliminates quarterly review prep
  • Strongest vendor-viability position in the category after acquiring Quantive in 2025, which matters given Viva Goals' retirement
  • Two-way sync with Slack, Teams, Jira, Salesforce, and Azure DevOps keeps key results updating from real systems
  • Enterprise-grade security and provisioning (SOC 2 Type II, SAML SSO, SCIM) for large multi-business-unit rollouts

Cons

  • No published pricing — the pricing page redirects to a demo request, so expect an enterprise quote and a sales cycle
  • Interface is dense and reviewers report it being slow, with a steeper learning curve than lightweight OKR tools
  • Substantially overbuilt for SaaS companies under roughly 200 people
  • Reporting customization often requires admin effort to configure properly

Our Verdict: Best for enterprise SaaS organizations where quarterly business review prep is the real cost — not for small teams, who will find it heavy and expensive.

The people management platform that connects performance, engagement, and growth in one system

💰 Starts at $11 per person/month (billed annually) for Talent Management. Add-ons available for Engagement, Grow, Compensation, HRIS, Payroll, and Time Tracking. Minimum annual contract of $4,000.

Lattice approaches OKRs from the people side rather than the project side, and that changes what it is good for. Goals and OKRs are one module inside a people management platform that also runs performance reviews, engagement surveys, 1:1s, and compensation. You can define company-level OKRs, cascade them to teams and individuals, and — the distinctive part — link individual goals directly into performance review cycles. For SaaS companies where the quarterly OKR review and the employee performance conversation are meant to reinforce each other, that connection is the reason to choose it.

This matters more than it sounds. A recurring failure mode is that OKRs live in one system and performance conversations happen in another, so goals carry no real weight and quietly stop being updated. Lattice closes that loop: if your key results feed the review that determines your rating, people maintain them. The 1:1 agenda tooling reinforces it further, surfacing goals in the weekly manager conversation where progress actually gets discussed.

The honest limitation is that the OKR module is not as strong as a dedicated product. Reviewers specifically call out that Lattice lacks a simple way to check in on progress, making key result updates more tedious than they should be, and describe goal creation and management as clunky. Employees cannot customize their own OKRs much, and growth plans feel disconnected from the OKR and review sections. Progress updates are largely manual — there is no equivalent of Perdoo's Salesforce-wired key results. Pricing starts at $11 per person per month for Talent Management, with engagement, growth, compensation, and HRIS as separate add-ons, so the real cost depends heavily on how many modules you take. You are buying an HR platform that does OKRs, not an OKR platform.

Performance ManagementGoals & OKRsEmployee EngagementCompensation ManagementCareer Development (Grow)HRISAI-Powered ToolsAnalytics & ReportingIntegrations

Pros

  • Links individual goals directly into performance review cycles, which gives OKRs real weight and drives sustained updating
  • 1:1 agenda tooling surfaces goals in the weekly manager conversation where progress actually gets discussed
  • Company-to-team-to-individual cascading with solid analytics for a platform whose primary job is performance management
  • Consolidates OKRs, reviews, engagement surveys, and 1:1s in one system, removing a tool from the stack

Cons

  • Reviewers report there is no simple way to check in on progress, making key result updates more tedious than in dedicated OKR tools
  • Goal creation and management is described as clunky, and employees have limited ability to customize their own OKRs
  • Progress updates are largely manual with no data-source automation for key results
  • Modular add-on pricing on top of the $11 per person per month base means the real cost climbs quickly

Our Verdict: Best for SaaS companies that want quarterly OKRs tied directly to performance reviews — choose it for the HR loop, not for OKR tracking depth.

One app to replace them all - tasks, docs, goals, and more

💰 Free Forever plan available. Unlimited at $7/user/month (annual), Business at $12/user/month (annual), Enterprise custom pricing. AI add-on from $9/user/month.

ClickUp is the cheapest credible way to attach OKRs to real work. Goals are available on the Unlimited plan at $7 per user per month billed yearly ($10 billed monthly), which undercuts every dedicated OKR tool and is well under a third of what Asana charges to unlock its equivalent. Goal folders organize objectives by department, quarter, or initiative, and custom target types let a key result track a number, a currency amount, a task count, or a simple true/false outcome — with progress rolling up automatically as the underlying tasks complete.

For a cost-conscious SaaS team that already runs on ClickUp, this is a reasonable place to keep quarterly OKRs. Targets tied to task completion genuinely update on their own, dashboards can surface goal progress for a review, and the quarter-by-quarter folder structure maps naturally onto an OKR cadence. If you are running OKRs for the first time and are not sure the practice will stick, spending $7 rather than $25 per user to find out is a defensible call.

But this is a project management tool wearing an OKR costume, and the seams show at exactly the moments that matter. There is no check-in cadence with automated reminders for key result owners — nothing nudges anyone weekly. There is no quarter-end scoring or grading workflow. The alignment view is folder-based organization rather than a genuine strategy tree running from company objective to individual key result. And ClickUp's well-documented breadth means goals compete for attention with docs, chat, whiteboards, and automations, so OKRs are easy to lose in the interface. If ClickUp's sprawl is already a concern, our ClickUp alternatives for teams drowning in features guide is worth a look.

15+ Project ViewsClickUp Brain (AI)ClickUp DocsWhiteboardsCustom AutomationGoals & OKRsTime TrackingDashboards

Pros

  • By far the cheapest way to get goal tracking attached to real work — $7 per user per month billed yearly, $10 monthly
  • Custom target types (number, currency, task count, true/false) cover most key result shapes, with automatic rollup from task completion
  • Goal folders map naturally onto a quarterly cadence, organized by department or initiative
  • No new tool to adopt if the team already runs on ClickUp, which removes the biggest adoption barrier

Cons

  • No automated check-in reminders for key result owners — nothing prompts a weekly update, which is the primary reason OKRs go stale
  • No quarter-end scoring or grading workflow at all
  • Alignment is folder organization rather than a true company-to-individual strategy tree
  • Goals compete for attention with docs, chat, whiteboards, and automations in a famously dense interface

Our Verdict: Best for budget-conscious SaaS teams already on ClickUp who want goals attached to work — accept that you supply all the check-in discipline yourself.

The connected workspace for docs, wikis, and projects

💰 Free plan with unlimited pages. Plus at $8/user/month, Business at $15/user/month (includes AI), Enterprise custom pricing. All prices billed annually.

Notion is the most flexible option here and the one most likely to become the annual paperwork this guide warns about. Relational databases and rollup properties can model OKRs precisely how you want them: objectives linked to key results, key results linked to projects, rollups aggregating child progress into a parent number. For a small SaaS team with someone who genuinely enjoys building Notion systems, the result can be more tailored to how the company actually thinks than anything a vendor ships. Plus is $8 per user per month billed annually and Business is $15, so it is inexpensive, and there is a large ecosystem of free OKR templates to start from.

The problem is that every mechanism that keeps OKRs alive is missing. Notion has no automated check-in reminders — nothing emails an owner on Friday to ask for an update. There is no alignment tree view for visualizing how a company objective connects to an individual key result; you can build relations, but you cannot see the hierarchy the way a dedicated tool renders it. There is no scoring or grading workflow. And no key result updates itself from Salesforce or Jira, so every number is typed in by a person who remembered to look it up.

The practical consequence is predictable and worth stating plainly: Notion OKRs work for tracking a handful of goals in a small team where the founder is personally invested in maintaining them, and they degrade quickly past roughly 50 employees, where the open modular design becomes chaos and progress reporting turns into manual archaeology. If you choose Notion, choose it knowing you are buying a canvas, not a process — and pair it with a hard recurring calendar block and an external reminder, because the tool will never prompt you. Teams that outgrow it typically need real hierarchy views; see Notion alternatives with Gantt chart views for adjacent options.

Pages & DocumentsDatabasesRelational DatabasesNotion AITeam WikisTemplatesCollaborationIntegrations

Pros

  • Unmatched flexibility — relational databases and rollups let you model your OKR structure exactly as your company thinks about it
  • Inexpensive at $8 per user per month billed annually for Plus, with a large ecosystem of free OKR templates
  • OKRs can live next to strategy docs, meeting notes, and project plans in a single workspace
  • Excellent for the narrative half of a quarterly review, where written context matters more than a dashboard

Cons

  • No automated check-in reminders whatsoever — every progress update depends on a human remembering
  • No alignment tree view, so company-to-individual OKR hierarchy cannot be visualized properly
  • No scoring or grading workflow, and no key result automation from external data sources
  • Reliably degrades past roughly 50 employees, where the open structure becomes chaos and reporting turns manual

Our Verdict: Best for small SaaS teams under 25 people who want full control of their OKR structure and have the discipline to supply every reminder themselves.

Our Conclusion

The quick decision guide. If you want a purpose-built OKR product that a 20-200 person SaaS company will actually keep using, start with Perdoo — it has the cleanest combination of weekly check-ins, Slack and Teams reminders, and key results that auto-update from Jira, Salesforce, and spreadsheets, and it's free up to five users so you can pilot it with the leadership team before committing. If your quarter-end review needs a rigorous, defensible grading step, Profit.co is built around exactly that ritual with its Reflect and Reset close — though be aware it moved to enterprise-only pricing in 2026, so you'll need a sales conversation to get a number. If you already live in Asana and mostly need goals connected to real project work, Asana Goals is the most natural bend of a PM tool into OKR shape — just budget for the Advanced plan at US$24.99 per user per month, since Goals is gated there. If your team is under ten people and the problem is the habit rather than the data, Weekdone is the cheapest way to buy a weekly rhythm. And if you're an enterprise whose real pain is that QBR prep consumes two weeks of executive time, WorkBoard automates the deck itself.

The honest caveat on the general-purpose tools. ClickUp and Notion can both hold OKRs, and at $7 per user per month ClickUp is by far the cheapest way to attach goals to work. But neither sends a check-in reminder on its own, and Notion in particular has no alignment tree and no automated nudges — every progress update is a human remembering to make one. That's precisely the failure mode that turns OKRs into paperwork. If you choose them, you are choosing to supply the discipline yourself, and you should build a recurring calendar block and a Slack reminder to compensate.

What to do next. Don't evaluate these on a demo of the goal-setting screen — every tool looks good there. Instead, run one real key result through a full check-in cycle during the trial: wire it to an actual data source, let a week pass, and see whether the number moved without anyone touching it. That single test separates the tools on this list faster than any feature matrix.

What to watch. Given the Viva Goals retirement and the Quantive absorption, ask any vendor about funding and roadmap before you migrate a company's goal history into it, and confirm the export path on day one.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need dedicated OKR software, or can I run OKRs in my project management tool?

Under about 25 people with a strong operating culture, a project management tool is usually enough — Asana Goals and ClickUp Goals both roll progress up from real tasks. The break point is check-in discipline: dedicated OKR tools send automated reminders and enforce a quarter-end grading step, while PM tools generally do not. If your last two quarters ended with someone rebuilding the numbers by hand the night before the review, that is the signal to buy a purpose-built product.

What happened to Microsoft Viva Goals?

Microsoft retired Viva Goals on December 31, 2025 and stated it would not replace the product or fold its features into other Microsoft tools. Customers were directed to export their OKR data via API, Excel, or PowerPoint and migrate to a third-party OKR platform. If your team is still running goals out of an exported Viva Goals spreadsheet, any tool on this list is an upgrade.

Is Quantive still available?

No, not as a standalone product. WorkBoard acquired Quantive — formerly Gtmhub — on May 28, 2025 and has been transitioning its customers onto the WorkBoard platform. The quantive.com domain now redirects to workboard.com. It is excluded from this list for that reason, even though it was one of the strongest OKR tools in the category on the strength of its data-connector engine.

How often should we check in on OKRs during the quarter?

Weekly is the consensus, and it is the cadence every purpose-built tool on this list defaults to. A weekly check-in should take about five minutes per person: update key result progress, set a confidence status, and flag blockers. The more important structural point is the mid-quarter review around week six or seven — that is the moment to course-correct, not the end-of-quarter review, by which time it is too late to change the outcome.

How should we score OKRs at the end of a quarter?

The common convention is a 0.0 to 1.0 scale per key result, where 0.7 to 0.8 represents genuinely good performance on an ambitious goal. Consistently scoring 1.0 across the board is a warning sign that targets are being set too conservatively. Notably, not every vendor agrees with numeric grading — Perdoo deliberately rejects it in favor of a status plus a star-based execution rating and written learnings, on the argument that a number invites gaming without explaining anything.

Which OKR tools update key results automatically?

Perdoo, Profit.co, and WorkBoard can all pull key result values from source systems such as Jira, Salesforce, HubSpot, Google Sheets, and BI tools, so progress updates without manual entry. Asana and ClickUp roll progress up from their own tasks and projects, which is real automation but limited to work already tracked in those tools. Weekdone's integrations mostly import tasks into weekly check-ins rather than moving key result values, and Notion requires manual updates entirely.

What is the cheapest way to run OKRs for a small SaaS team?

Perdoo's free tier covers up to five users with full check-ins, strategy maps, and integrations, which is enough for a founding team. Weekdone is free up to three users. Beyond that, ClickUp at $7 per user per month billed yearly is the cheapest option that attaches goals to real work, though you supply the check-in discipline yourself. Note that Weekdone sells fixed user packages rather than per-seat licenses, so a six-person team pays for the ten-user band.
