An alternative to Rhythms.ai and WorkBoard: 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 Rhythms.ai's 3.3 and WorkBoard's 4.0 – measured with the same recorded 30-minute scenario as every tested platform, with the session evidence published. The widest gaps are on pricing transparency, ease of use and OKR features. To be fair: WorkBoard scores higher on integrations, and WorkBoard on reporting.
Tability also publishes its pricing – plans start at $6/user/month, where both Rhythms.ai and WorkBoard are quote-only.
