The three pricing models
- Per seat. Every user is billed, whether they own a key result or only read one. Simple, but the bill grows with every hire and every stakeholder you invite.
- Flat rate. One price for the whole company. Predictable, and cheapest when many people own key results, but small teams pay the full entry price.
- Per contributor. Only people who create and own key results are billed. Viewers and stakeholders are free. Cheapest when a focused group owns the goals and everyone else reads.
How the calculator works
The contributor slider starts at one contributor per five people. That is our assumption, not a measurement, so drag it to your real number. All columns use published list prices on annual billing. We build OKR Studio, so the per-contributor column is our own price. The flat-rate and per-seat columns use common category rates.
Frequently asked questions
How much does OKR software cost?
It depends on the pricing model and on how many people own key results. Per-seat tools typically charge $6 to $13 per user per month for everyone. Flat-rate tools charge one price for the whole company, with entry tiers around $129/month. Per-contributor tools such as OKR Studio charge only for the people who create and own key results, at $8/month on annual billing, and viewers are free.
When is flat-rate OKR pricing cheaper?
Flat-rate pricing wins once many people actively own key results. Against a $129/month flat plan on annual billing, per-contributor pricing at $8/month is cheaper until roughly 13 contributors. Above that, flat-rate costs less.
Who counts as a contributor?
A contributor is someone who creates, owns or updates OKRs. People who only read, comment or follow progress are viewers or stakeholders, and OKR Studio does not charge for them.
Does the calculator include implementation fees or add-ons?
No. It compares published list prices on annual billing only. Implementation fees, paid integrations and other add-ons are excluded from every column, so check each vendor's pricing page before you decide.
