Tability logo

An alternative to ClearPoint Strategy and Viva Goals (discontinued): 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 ClearPoint Strategy's 3.1 and Viva Goals (discontinued)'s 3.4 – measured with the same recorded 30-minute scenario as every tested platform, with the session evidence published. The widest gaps are on pricing transparency, AI features and ease of use. To be fair: ClearPoint Strategy scores higher on reporting.

Tability also publishes its pricing – plans start at $6/user/month, where both ClearPoint Strategy and Viva Goals (discontinued) are quote-only.
