Benchmark changelog

Feature matrix expanded from 18 to 34 tracked capabilities, each verified against vendor documentation: a new enterprise & security section (SAML SSO, SCIM, multilanguage, domain and IP whitelisting, session timeout, access restrictions), reporting exports (presentation mode, CSV, PDF, PowerPoint/Slides), webhooks under connectivity, and an HR & performance section (reviews, 1:1s, engagement surveys, 360 feedback) — a dimension where HR suites lead and dedicated OKR tools including Tability, the operator, show honest gaps. A capability is checked only when the vendor documents it publicly.

Full pricing re-verification across all 18 active vendors, with high-range estimates now published for every quote-only vendor. WorkBoard gets its first published estimate, built on Vendr procurement data (median contract $60,100/year, observed range $28,205-$206,502, est. $30/user/month high-range). Cascade estimated at $29/user/month (was $10), Leapsome raised to $11 (was $8), Profit.co to $9 (was $7). Corrections from vendor pages: Lattice top published bundle is now $13/seat/month Foundations (was $25), Betterworks and Peoplebox no longer publish their previously recorded minimums, Oboard's Jira-app pricing corrected to its public $2.16/user/month Marketplace list price (was estimated at $6), and Mooncamp and Perdoo are recorded as EUR-first with USD conversions. JOP's pricing URL moved to getjop.com after jop.io was parked. All last-verified dates refreshed to July 31, 2026, with sources in each vendor's record.

OKRs Tool re-verified against its live site after a major product update cycle: 10 integrations now live (Jira, Asana, Linear, ClickUp, Notion, Google Workspace, Teams, plus REST API and webhooks), a hosted MCP server for AI assistants, an AI Coach with at-risk forecasting, KPIs alongside OKRs, exec/MBR/QBR reports, and SSO/SCIM/RBAC/audit logs. Scores refreshed across seven categories — it rises from bottom-third to mid-pack in most, extends its budget-category win, and reaches #3 for startups and #4 for AI features. Its G2 rating also refreshed to 4.6 across 7 reviews (from 4.0 across one). No winners changed. Remaining caveats stay on the record: no native task management, SOC 2 Type II in progress.

Scoring recalibrated for honest margins. Tability had accumulated implausibly wide leads in several categories (up to 4.8 vs 4.1), so its maximum scores were trimmed and credible runners-up rescored on their merits — Perdoo is now the clear #2 for mid-market, Mooncamp for Slack, WorkBoard closed the AI gap. Vendors that do not actually ship an integration were delisted from those integration rankings instead of carrying filler scores (Perdoo and JOP from Linear, ChartMogul, ClickUp, Amplitude, and BigQuery, Weekdone from Tableau), and real integrators were added where the data supported it (Rhythms and Weekdone for Linear, Cascade for ClickUp, Peoplebox for BigQuery, Cascade and Profit.co for Tableau). No winners changed.

Product teams category retired: its intent overlapped the overall and startups rankings, violating the one-intent-one-page rule. The URL now redirects to the overall ranking.

WorkBoard price estimate removed: the previously shown ~$9/user/month figure came from stale third-party sources and is unreliable. WorkBoard publishes no pricing (demo-only sales), so the benchmark now shows "Pricing not public" instead of an estimate, on every surface including the dataset.

AI features category rebuilt: "AI" is no longer one checkbox. The category now scores five AI dimensions separately — in-product agents (20%), AI check-ins & smart actions (20%), conversational assistant (15%), MCP & agent interoperability (15%), AI goal setting (10%) — plus core OKR foundation (20%). Coverage expanded from 7 to 13 vendors.

Public dataset published: the full benchmark dataset (verified pricing, ratings, vendor status, category verdicts, and the shutdown tracker) is now downloadable as versioned JSON and CSV at /data, free to reuse with attribution. An llms.txt file now describes the benchmark for AI assistants.

Category outcome matrix published: the benchmark now states where Tability wins, where it loses, and why — including categories where it abstains. Conflict-of-interest statement added to the methodology.

Enterprise verdict changed: WorkBoard takes first place on governance depth and its consolidated position after acquiring Quantive. Tability moves to #2. Lattice added to the enterprise ranking (#3).

New category: HRIS integrations — for organizations where HR owns the goal program and the HRIS is the system of record. Lattice wins. Tability ranks last (#9), reflecting its deliberate lack of deep HRIS integrations.

Jira verdict changed: Oboard (OKR Board for Jira) takes first place as the purpose-built Jira-native app. Tability moves to #2.

Affordable verdict changed: criteria reweighted toward price (Price Point 50%, No Hidden Costs 25%) — a budget category should be decided on cost. OKRs Tool wins on flat-fee pricing. Tability moves to #2 (per-seat, no free tier). Oboard marked down on billing scope (charges for the whole Jira instance).

Quantive marked as acquired: WorkBoard acquired Quantive (formerly Gtmhub) in May 2025. Quantive.com now redirects to workboard.com and the standalone product is no longer sold.

Viva Goals marked as discontinued: Microsoft retired the service on December 31, 2025, advising customers to export OKR data and transition to another solution.

Pricing re-verified against vendor pricing pages for 17 of 20 vendors. Jira Align, JOP, and Oboard carry estimates because those vendors publish no comparable list price. Notable changes: Betterworks now publishes list pricing ($8/user/mo). Peoplebox published module pricing ($8/employee/mo). Rhythms published pricing with a free plan ($22/user/mo Business). Profit.co removed public pricing in favor of custom quotes. OKRs Tool moved to $49/$129 flat tiers. Oboard raised prices ~20-30% in March 2026.

G2 and Gartner ratings refreshed where verifiable. Notable: Teamflect updated to 4.5/170 on G2 (from 4.6/98). Lattice Gartner count updated to 61. 15Five Gartner updated to 4.4/25.

Benchmark provenance system introduced: pricing and ratings now carry last-verified dates and source links, and vendor status (active/acquired/discontinued) is tracked.
