The best free OKR software

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.

OKRs Tool is a young Estonian dedicated OKR tool (founded 2024, bootstrapped, few people involved) selling simplicity and flat pricing: $49-129 per month for the whole organization, free for up to 5 users, live without IT involvement in an afternoon. It ships real AI (drafting, AI Coach, at-risk prediction, even a Claude MCP server) plus automated weekly check-ins, and backs adoption with a 60%-engagement-in-30-days refund guarantee.

It is growing quickly but still early: the company was founded in 2024 and social proof is thin at 6 G2 reviews. SSO sits on the top tier, the API costs $99/mo extra, there is no mobile app and no security certification.

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.

Weekdone is the veteran of the category: an Estonian, bootstrapped dedicated OKR tool running since 2012, built entirely around the weekly PPP rhythm (Plans-Progress-Problems) with quarterly OKRs on top. It is small-team friendly (free up to 3 users), EU-hosted in Tallinn, has native mobile apps and an independent owner.

The product has aged: there are no AI features at all, certifications are absent and the review base is small (~36 on G2). It proves the durability of the habit-first model.

Best fit today is a small company that wants a simple, proven weekly reporting routine and nothing more but the lack of current updates and developments is a red flag.
