The real differences
Beyond the checkbox table.
Two pricing models, and which one is cheaper for you
OKRs Tool charges one flat price for the whole company. OKR Studio charges $8/month per active contributor on annual billing, and everyone who only reads, comments or follows along is free. At the new $129/month entry tier, that means we cost less until roughly 13 people own key results. Above that, flat-rate is the cheaper structure, and the calculator below shows exactly where your team lands.
Focused on goals, no HR suite attached
OKRs Tool has added performance reviews, 1:1 briefs, 360s, a 9-box talent grid and engagement surveys. Those are real features for HR-led programs. OKR Studio deliberately stays out of performance management: we help teams set goals, check in, and see what is slipping mid-cycle, without grading people in the same tool.
MCP on Pro, not Enterprise
OKR Studio's MCP server lets Claude Desktop, ChatGPT, Copilot, Cursor and Glean query your live OKR data, and it is included on Pro. On OKRs Tool's current plan matrix, MCP sits on Enterprise. If your team already works in an AI assistant, that difference shows up on the invoice.
Where OKRs Tool is genuinely strong
OKRs Tool publishes a lot of useful research, offers a 60%-adoption-or-refund guarantee, and keeps adding features quickly, including KR weighting and an adoption report in October 2026. If you want one predictable bill and many people own key results, it is a reasonable choice and we would rather say so.
What you'd actually pay
We charge for people who run OKRs, not for everyone who reads them. Flat-rate tools charge one price for the whole company. Which is cheaper depends entirely on how many of your people actually own key results — so set that number yourself.
Starts at 1 contributor per 5 people — our assumption, not a measurement. Drag it to your real number.
6 contributors at $8/month annually. The other 24 people read and comment for free.
One price for the whole company, whoever participates. Shown at the category's entry flat-rate tier of $129/month on annual billing ($1,548/year if billed monthly). No free tier.
Every person is billed whether they own a key result or only read one. Shown at a common category rate of $8/user/month.
At 6 active contributors, OKR Studio costs $662 less per year than a flat-rate tool. That flips once you pass 13 contributors — above that, flat-rate is the cheaper structure and we would rather you knew.

Frequently asked questions
What did OKRs Tool change in October 2026?
New plans now start at $129/month for Scale, $229/month for Expand, and from $349/month for a new Enterprise plan, with 20% off on annual billing.

Is OKR Studio cheaper than OKRs Tool?
It depends on how many people own key results. OKR Studio is free for up to 3 users, then $8/month per active contributor on annual billing, with viewers free. Against a $129/month flat plan billed annually, OKR Studio costs less until roughly 13 contributors. Past that point a flat plan is cheaper, and the calculator on this page shows the exact crossover for your team.
Does OKR Studio include an MCP server?
Yes. The MCP server is included on Pro and works with Claude Desktop, ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot, Cursor and Glean. You do not need an enterprise plan to connect your AI assistant to live OKR data.
Does OKR Studio do performance reviews like OKRs Tool?
No, and that is deliberate. OKR Studio is built for running goals: planning, check-ins, at-risk detection, mid-cycle readouts and evaluation. If you want performance reviews, 1:1s and 360s in the same product as your OKRs, OKRs Tool or Lattice will fit better.
How do I move from OKRs Tool to OKR Studio?
Export your current cycle, create it in OKR Studio, assign an owner to each key result, and reconnect Slack and your issue tracker. Most teams can run their first check-in the same day. If your OKRs also live in a spreadsheet, our spreadsheet migration guide walks through the import.
