The best OKR software for SMBs

OKRnest is a Swedish dedicated OKR platform, designed bottom-up around the team rather than the org chart. Its core bet is that the value of OKRs lies in the weekly habit, so the structured team check-in, not the goal tree, is the heart of the product, supported by smart defaults and an AI coach.

It targets curious managers of 3-10 person teams in growing companies, self-serve, with no prior OKR experience required. As a young product it has no G2 reviews and no SOC 2 or ISO certification yet, leaning instead on EU hosting, EU-only AI processing and a published Trust Center.

For teams that want the check-in habit rather than an enterprise rollout, it is the purpose-built option in this comparison.

15Five is a VC-backed US performance-management platform (~$185M raised) whose weekly 15Fives give it authentic rhythm-based DNA, now aimed at HR outcomes: reviews, engagement, compensation and manager coaching. OKRs live inside the Perform tier at $11 per user per month, with module pricing public but contracts annual-only.

AI investment is serious (AMAYA, 15Five Agents, Kona coach, predictive analytics) and social proof is deep (~1,900 G2 reviews at 4.6). It is SOC 2 audited, but there is no EU data center (data is stored in US data centers) and the weekly rhythm ultimately serves performance management rather than goal execution.

Fits mid-market and enterprise HR teams that want goals inside their people stack.

Leapsome is the strongest EU-credentialed HR suite in this set: Berlin-built, GDPR-first, ISO 27001:2022 certified, $60M raised from Insight, with a 4.8 G2 score across ~2,350 reviews. It unifies HRIS and talent management with AI agents, 100+ integrations and monthly billing available, though the minimum term is one year and per-user pricing is quote-only (from EUR 199/mo).

Goals and OKRs are one module among many, competing for attention with the entire employee lifecycle, and the goal check-in rhythm is not the product's core loop. The company is stable and established.

Best for European HR leaders consolidating people tools; a different purchase than a dedicated team-level OKR product.

Mooncamp is a Cologne-based independent GmbH whose flexible, Notion-like OKR workspace earns the best G2 score in this set (4.8 across ~297 reviews). Its EU story is clean and concrete: hosted at Hetzner in Germany, with public pricing (EUR 7-10 per user) and SSO available as an addon on every tier.

The product has drifted toward mid-market strategy execution, backed by certified OKR consultants and logos like Tinder and Deutsche Bank. Gaps are notable: no AI features at all, a 5-seat minimum, annual-only billing shown, no app-level certifications, and no confirmed native mobile app (PWA instead).

A well-loved, well-built EU choice for companies of 5+ seats that do not care about AI.

Perdoo is one of the longest-running independent dedicated OKR vendors (Berlin, 2015), combining OKRs, KPIs, a strategy map, 1:1s and reviews in one platform with SOC 2 Type II certification and a large integration catalog. Pricing is public and fair (EUR 8-10 per user), with a free tier up to 5 users, but paid plans require 5+ seats and billing is quarterly or annual only.

The product leans strategy-first and leadership-friendly, with good check-in support. The company is stable with over a decade of history.

A solid mid-market choice for organizations that want structured strategy-to-OKR cascading with European roots.
