OnStrategy is strategic planning software for building, managing, and communicating an organizational plan. Its planning tools include virtual whiteboards, exercises, guided workflows, and on-demand courses for creating or refreshing strategy. Teams can set goals or OKRs to connect individual work with organizational strategy, then use objective cascading, initiative tracking, strategy maps, and execution dashboards. Customizable dashboards and reports help share strategic performance with stakeholders. The cloud service is available on web, iOS, and Android, though its mobile application works only on certain devices. The Self-Guided Planning plan costs $200 a month and includes unlimited users, with no long-term commitment required. There is no free plan, but a 14-day free trial allows customers to switch plan types. Pre-built integrations are available for Microsoft Teams and Slack, and the FAQ describes thousands of integrations through Zapier. System support is included in the subscription. Phone support is available weekdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Pacific Time; webform questions can be submitted at any time, with an attempted one-business-day response but no guaranteed response time.
