Best Free OKR Tools 2026 (with pros and cons)

If you want a dedicated tool to run OKR, you have options. Before you pick one, two things are worth knowing.

First, my default recommendation is to start with a spreadsheet. We built an OKR scoring sheet you can grab here. A spreadsheet forces the thinking rather than the configuration. Come back when you’re ready for something dedicated.

Second, confidence scoring matters more than most tools admit. Before you can decide what action to take with your OKR, you need to know how the team feels about it. Confidence scoring asks one question: “If everything plays out the way you expect, where will this land at end of quarter?” It’s a gut-check from the person closest to the work. Not a status label. Not a traffic light. It drives the conversation that makes OKR useful. Here’s how we run it.

Not every tool has it. Several fake it with a status field.

Here are the six best free OKR tools for 2026, ranked by how well they support the way OKR is meant to work.

What I look for

Most OKR tools track outputs, not conversations. That’s the wrong thing to track.

A good tool has to support your weekly check-in, at minimum. Weekly. If that feels excessive, you probably have the wrong OKR.

Beyond that: free for at least one full team with no time limit, team-focused (not individual goal-setting dressed up as OKR), and mobile-friendly so check-ins can happen anywhere.

Microsoft’s Viva Goals never got confidence scoring right. Microsoft pulled the plug on it entirely at the end of 2025. The bar is not high, but a surprising number of tools still miss it.

1. Profit.co

I’ve used this with clients who need more than basic goal tracking. It covers KPI tracking and performance management alongside OKR, and the integrations with Slack, Teams and Jira work well in practice.

The interface takes time to learn. There are a lot of options, and it can feel noisy when you want to do something simple. Solid once you’re in it, but the initial experience requires some patience.

Best for: Teams that need a full-featured OKR tool with solid integrations.

2. Perdoo

Perdoo puts transparency front and centre. Everyone can see what everyone else is working toward, which builds the accountability culture OKR is designed to create.

Real-time tracking is solid, and their support is genuinely responsive. Some users flag bugs. I haven’t hit them personally, but I’ve seen it mentioned enough across reviews to call it out.

One flag on confidence scoring: Perdoo has it, but don’t get excited yet. It’s a status label (On Track, At Risk, Behind), not a real scale. A status label describes a state. A real confidence score invites a conversation about what is likely to happen and what you are going to do about it. Better than nothing, but don’t confuse the two.

Where Perdoo stands out is on AI. They have an official MCP server at mcp.perdoo.com. You can connect your Perdoo workspace directly to Claude, ChatGPT or any MCP-compatible tool via OAuth. No self-hosting required. That’s a meaningful capability and one of the few tools on this list with it.

Best for: Organisations that want OKR visible across the whole business, especially teams already using AI tools.

3. Weekdone

If your team is new to OKR and wants clear visual progress without a complex setup, Weekdone is worth looking at. The dashboards are clean and the interface is easy to pick up.

The initial setup can be clunky. It also starts to feel limited as you grow. The free plan is capped at 3 users, which means most teams will hit the ceiling quickly.

Best for: Small teams who are new to OKR and want visual, structured tracking.

4. Sugar OKR

Sugar OKR keeps things simple and the collaboration features work. But there’s a significant problem: it has no mobile experience. They recommend desktop only.

In 2026, that’s a real miss. People check their OKR on their phones. If the tool makes that harder, check-ins drop off. When check-ins drop off, OKR stops working. That alone puts it at the bottom of my list.

Best for: Teams that work exclusively at a desk. Even then, I'd look at the others first.

5. OKRs Tool

The pitch here is speed. Sign in with Google and you’re running in under a minute. The OKR writing guidance is genuinely useful for teams who haven’t written OKR before, and the design stays out of your way.

Free for up to 10 users, which is generous. Beyond that you’ll need to pay for things like Slack integration and AI features.

Best for: Small early-stage teams who want to get started without setup overhead.

6. Teamflect

If your organisation runs on Microsoft 365, this is the standout option on this list.

Teamflect runs natively inside Teams and Outlook, which removes the biggest barrier to OKR adoption: getting people to open yet another tool. Your team is already in Teams. The OKR live there too. That’s not a small thing. Most OKR rollouts fail because the tool becomes one more tab nobody opens.

It bundles goals with reviews, feedback, surveys, recognition and 1-on-1s in one place. The confidence scoring is customisable to your team’s own language. It does not yet give you a numbered range, but it works, and it’s a feature some dedicated OKR tools skip entirely.

We’re not a Microsoft shop. I still found it a pleasure to use. If you’re fully embedded in the Microsoft ecosystem, it’s even better.

Best for: Companies of any size on Microsoft 365 that want OKR running natively inside Teams alongside reviews, feedback and surveys.

What about MCP?

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is increasingly relevant for OKR tools. It lets you connect your tool directly to an AI client, so you can ask Claude “how are we tracking on Q2?” or have an agent auto-log check-ins from a data source.

For everyone else on this list, nothing official exists yet. Tability, which isn’t free but starts at $6 per user, is the other OKR tool worth knowing about if MCP is a genuine requirement.

Expect more tools to ship MCP over the next 12 to 18 months.

Where to start

If you’re just getting started, use the spreadsheet. Getting OKR right is harder than picking software.

When you’re ready for a dedicated tool: Weekdone and OKRs Tool are the simplest entry points. Profit.co and Perdoo give you more depth and better integrations. If you’re on Microsoft 365, Teamflect is the one I’d go with. If MCP matters to your team, Perdoo is the only free tool currently in the game.

Whatever you choose, run weekly check-ins. Without them, the tool is just a place to put goals you never go back to.

Common questions

What is confidence scoring in OKR?

Confidence scoring is a 0 to 1 read on how likely a team is to hit a key result this quarter. 1 means certain. 0 means no chance. Anything in between is the team’s gut feel. The score is a conversation starter. It surfaces what is working, what is blocking, and what to do next. Here is how we run it weekly.

Which free OKR tool has MCP?

Perdoo is the only free OKR tool with an official MCP server at the time of writing. You can connect a Perdoo workspace directly to Claude or ChatGPT via OAuth at mcp.perdoo.com. Tability is the other notable option with MCP, but it is not free (starts at $6 per user per month). Expect more tools to ship MCP over the next 12 to 18 months.

What is the best free OKR tool?

There is no single best tool for every team. For small teams new to OKR, Weekdone and OKRs Tool are the simplest entry points. For more depth and stronger integrations, Profit.co or Perdoo. For organisations on Microsoft 365, Teamflect is the standout because it lives inside Teams and Outlook. If AI and MCP matter to your team, Perdoo.
