WorkBoard tracks goals at scale.
Vindaris connects them to real work.
WorkBoard built its reputation as the enterprise OKR platform for Fortune 500 companies. After acquiring Quantive in 2025, it is the largest pure-play goal-tracking product on the market. Large, well-funded, and still missing the same layer: a native connection between goals and the work that proves them.

WorkBoard is an enterprise OKR and strategy execution platform built around manual check-ins and results reviews. Vindaris is a WorkBoard alternative that connects each goal to the work that proves it and runs any framework, so progress is read from real delivery rather than reported in a meeting.
WorkBoard is built for goal reporting. The work still lives somewhere else.
WorkBoard does one thing well: it gives large organizations a structured way to define, cascade, and report on OKRs. Its strength is the enterprise wrapper - SSO, compliance, admin controls, the things procurement teams need to see. Its weakness is the same one every goal-tracking tool shares. Goals and work are separate systems.
Teams define their OKRs in WorkBoard. Then they do their actual work in Jira, Asana, Planner, Salesforce, or spreadsheets. The connection between the two? Manual check-ins, weekly updates, or lightweight integrations that move numbers without context. Leadership gets a view of goals. They do not get a view of whether the work happening below those goals is actually moving them.
WorkBoard does not publish its pricing. Enterprise sales cycles, custom quotes, annual contracts. For mid-market teams evaluating goal-management tools, this creates a structural barrier before any product conversation happens. Vindaris publishes its pricing on the website. Free to start, with transparent plans for growing teams. See pricing.
The difference is structural, not cosmetic. Goals need a work layer.
WorkBoard and Vindaris start from different premises. WorkBoard assumes goals are the primary object and work is something that happens elsewhere. Vindaris assumes goals and work are two views of the same system - and that separating them is the reason most strategy execution fails.

- Built for Fortune 500 reporting. Optimized for cascading goals at scale.
- Framework-agnostic. OKRs, KPIs, EOS Rocks, OGSM, or any hybrid syntax.
- Progress derived from real work data via bidirectional sync with work tools.
- Native work layer. Goals and tasks structurally connected in one system.
- Published pricing. Free to start for goals. See plans.
- Built for any team size. From 10-person startups to 500-person orgs.
One system for goals and work. Traceable by default.
Vindaris does not ask your team to change how they work. They keep Planner, HubSpot, Google, Jira. What changes is the layer above: goals are no longer a separate reporting exercise. They are structurally connected to the work that should move them. Every task maps to a goal. Every goal maps to effort. The connection is live.
Bring your OKRs from WorkBoard, or restructure them as KPIs, OGSM, or Rocks. Vindaris does not force a methodology. The goal syntax is yours. The system provides the structure and the connection layer.
Planner, HubSpot, Google, Jira. Connect in minutes. Existing tasks and projects sync automatically. Changes in the work tool appear in Vindaris. Changes in Vindaris appear in the work tool. No middleware, no manual mapping.
Vindaris suggests which work items map to which goals. Confirm, adjust, and within an hour your leadership team has a live view of who is doing what against which strategic priority. No weekly update ritual required.
The system shows progress against plan in real time. What is at risk surfaces before the quarter ends. Leadership sees verified execution data, not self-reported status. The strategy review becomes a decision meeting, not a reconstruction exercise.
Vindaris is free to start for goal and strategy management. No minimum contract, no setup fee, no enterprise sales cycle. See pricing details.
