Tool shut down

Your free OKR tool just announced shutdown. Find one that <strong>scales without pricing shock.</strong>

Free tools attract you at 5 users, then trap you with per-seat pricing at 50. You need a tool that's <strong>free now and flat-rate later</strong> — without forcing a migration mid-quarter.

For: VPs & Heads of Department Company size: 5–50 Time to ship: One afternoon Reading time: 8 min
TL;DR

Most free OKR tools either shut down, get acquired, or switch to per-seat pricing that makes 50 users cost $500+/month. OKRs Tool is <strong>free for 1–5 users</strong>, then $49/mo flat for 6–50 — no per-seat math, no surprise invoices. You can import your existing OKRs via CSV and be running the same afternoon your old tool goes dark.

The situation

<p>You picked a free tool because you were 5 people testing OKRs. Made sense. But free tools have a pattern: they either shut down, get acquired and sunset, or flip to per-seat pricing once they have you locked in.</p><p>Now you're scrambling. Your OKRs live in a tool that's going away, and every alternative you check wants $10–15 per user. At 50 people, that's $500–750/month for something that was free last week.</p><p>The real problem isn't this migration — it's picking a tool that <strong>won't do this again</strong> when you hit 60, 80, 100 users. You need predictable pricing that doesn't punish growth.</p>

    Real example · Firmaway
    We migrated from Quantive when they changed direction. The CSV import meant we didn't lose a single OKR. Took an afternoon to be fully running again.
