An alternative to 15Five and Jira Align: Tability
Tability is an AI-native OKR platform built around a simple idea: the weekly check-in is the habit that keeps goals alive. Plans import from a paste of text, every key result gets its own page and progress graph, the dashboards leadership will ask for exist before you build anything, and the AI layer – an MCP server, scheduled reports, agents that can own a goal – comes wired in rather than bolted on.
On this benchmark it scores 4.5/5, against 15Five's 3.1 and Jira Align's 2.4 – measured with the same recorded 30-minute scenario as every tested platform, with the session evidence published. The widest gaps are on AI features, OKR features and ease of use. Neither platform outscores Tability on any of the seven criteria.
Tability also publishes its pricing – plans start at $6/user/month, where Jira Align is quote-only.
