An alternative to Oboard and Peoplebox: 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 Oboard's 3.1 and Peoplebox's 3.3 – measured with the same recorded 30-minute scenario as every tested platform, with the session evidence published. The widest gaps are on OKR features, ease of use and AI features. To be fair: Oboard scores higher on task support, and Peoplebox on reporting.
Tability also publishes its pricing – plans start at $6/user/month.
