OnStrategy vs StrategyBlocks

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.

StrategyBlocks is a web-based SaaS platform for strategic planning, management, mapping, and execution. It breaks high-level objectives into tactics and links strategy elements to metrics, connecting strategic vision with work across departments and business units through cascading visual blocks. Strategic Health combines measures such as progress and KPIs to represent a block's current state. The platform also includes strategic risk management for structured and subjective execution data.

Users can create and bookmark dashboard views refreshed through company-wide contributions. Calendar Integration provides event links for key due dates on blocks assigned to a user. Metric actuals and targets can be uploaded from another source, including Google Docs Spreadsheets. Security groups restrict access to blocks, metrics, and risks in a strategic plan. The maker identifies StrategyBlocks as ISO/IEC 27001 certified and describes it as an enterprise strategic management platform, including for CEOs and other executives. A subscription allows one person to access the product, so additional people require additional subscriptions. Pricing includes a 30-day trial and Premium 1 - 50 Staff at $750 a year.
