Which OKR software should a startup use?

A shared doc or sheet for your first quarters, then software only once several teams set OKRs and people stop updating the sheet. Google's own re:Work guide has the whole method: an objective, a few measurable key results, graded 0.0 to 1.0, with 60 to 70% as the sweet spot. When you outgrow the sheet, Weekdone is free for up to 3 users, Perdoo is free for up to 5 users with Premium at €6.40 a user a month and tracks KPIs beside OKRs, Tability connects to Slack, Teams, Jira and Linear at $6 a user a month billed yearly, and Mooncamp starts at €7 a user a month billed annually. If your team already plans in ClickUp, Goals come with its Core plan, so you may need nothing new. The rule: the weekly check-in is the work; buy a tool only when the check-in stops happening without one.

Google's own guide to the method it uses: ambitious objectives, key results graded on a 0 to 1.0 scale, a target of 0.6 to 0.7, three to five objectives with about three key results each, and OKRs kept separate from performance evaluation.
