Lattice is an HR platform that bolts OKRs onto performance reviews. OKR Studio is built from the ground up for product and engineering teams who need goals connected to what they ship — not what they score on a review.

The real differences
Beyond the checkbox table — why the distinction matters for your team.
OKR philosophy: outcomes vs. performance ratings
OKR Studio treats OKRs as a product execution tool — objectives connect to your product vision, key results are validated by AI for measurability, and every cycle ends with a structured evaluation that feeds into the next quarter. Lattice treats goals as an input to performance reviews and compensation decisions. If your team measures success by customer outcomes shipped, OKR Studio fits. If goals exist to fill a section in someone's annual review, Lattice fits.
AI: key result validation vs. HR companion
OKR Studio's AI validates that your key results are specific, measurable, achievable, and aligned with your product strategy — catching vague goals before the quarter starts. Lattice's AI Agent (shipping Summer 2026) is a general sidebar companion that assists across the entire HR platform: writing review summaries, suggesting conversation topics for 1:1s, and surfacing engagement insights. Different tools for different problems.
Developer integrations
OKR Studio connects key results directly to GitHub pull requests, Jira issues, and Azure DevOps work items — progress updates automatically as engineering work ships. The MCP Server lets AI coding assistants (GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, Cursor) query your OKR data directly from the IDE, so developers always have goal context while coding. Lattice integrates with Jira for basic linking but has no GitHub, Azure DevOps, or MCP connection.
Pricing & commitment
Lattice's Goals & OKRs module starts at $8/user/month (or $11 bundled with Performance), with a $4,000/year minimum contract. OKR Studio starts free — no credit card, no contract, no minimum. Professional is $9/user/month and includes full access to Delvyn Studio for product strategy. For a 20-person product team, Lattice costs at least $4,000/year; OKR Studio's free tier costs $0 to start and $2,160/year at Professional with significantly more OKR-specific capability.

Who should choose what
Honest recommendations — different tools for different needs.
Choose OKR Studio if…
- Your product or engineering team owns the OKR process
- You want OKRs connected to product vision, strategy, and discovery
- Your engineering team wants key results linked to GitHub/Azure DevOps
- You need AI that validates key result quality, not writes review summaries
- You want to start free and upgrade when ready — no sales call, no contract
- Your team is 5–200 people and doesn't need performance reviews bundled in
Choose Lattice if…
- HR or People Operations owns the goal-setting process
- Goals feed directly into annual performance reviews and compensation
- You need a full HRIS with engagement surveys and 360 feedback
- Your company already uses Lattice for performance management
- You have 50+ employees and can commit to a $4K+/year contract
- OKRs are one part of a broader people management initiative
The question that matters
Who owns OKRs at your company?
If it's your product or engineering team — people who measure success by outcomes shipped, hypotheses validated, and customer problems solved — OKR Studio is built for you. If it's HR — people running review cycles, calibration sessions, and compensation planning — Lattice is built for them.
Both are good tools. They solve different problems for different teams.
We don't do performance reviews. Not as a roadmap item — as a schema decision.
Our database has zero tables for reviews, calibration, 360 feedback, or engagement surveys. That's not a gap we plan to close — it's a commitment to staying focused on OKRs.
