Hespia and Perdoo both track OKRs, but they solve different problems. Perdoo is a mature strategy-execution platform, free for up to 5 users and around 8 to 10 euros per user per month on paid plans, strong on strategy maps and integrations. Hespia is a new, beta-stage tool whose AI coach Nova chases weekly pace on every key result and flags slippage in week 4 instead of week 13. If your goals mostly need a better home, Perdoo is the safer, more proven pick; if they mostly need chasing, Hespia is built for exactly that.
What is the core difference?
Perdoo answers “where does this goal sit in our strategy, and what is the number?” It gives you Strategy Maps, KPI tracking, check-ins, reviews, 1:1s, pulse surveys, and kudos. It is a broad strategy-and-people execution suite with years behind it.
Hespia answers “is this goal on pace, and who needs a nudge this week?” Its whole design is pace-first: Nova tracks weekly pace on each key result, emails timezone-aware digests to each owner, drafts stakeholder review scripts, runs quarter retrospectives, and cascades goals from company to pod. It is narrower and newer, and it does one job hard.

Where is Perdoo genuinely stronger?
Being honest matters here. Perdoo beats Hespia on several real dimensions:
- Maturity and track record. Perdoo has been shipping OKR software for years. Hespia launched into beta in 2026 and has no comparable history.
- Strategy layer. Strategy Maps connect quarterly OKRs to longer-term ambitions and KPIs. Hespia has no equivalent.
- Integrations and enterprise controls. Jira, Asana, Power BI, Excel Online, API access, SSO, and SCIM are available on Perdoo’s paid tiers. Hespia’s integration surface is small because it is new.
- Breadth. 1:1s, pulse surveys, kudos, and engagement dashboards make Perdoo closer to a light people-execution suite.
If any of those are on your must-have list, Perdoo is the better choice, and it is fair to say so.
Where is Hespia stronger?
- Pace, not just progress. A progress bar tells you a KR is at 40 percent. Hespia tells you 40 percent is behind for week 6 and who owns the fix. That distinction is the entire product.
- Active chasing. Timezone-aware weekly digests land in each owner’s inbox. The default is that someone is nudged, not that a dashboard waits to be visited.
- Early warning. Flagging a slip in week 4 is the difference between a course correction and an end-of-quarter post-mortem.
- Review prep. Auto-drafted stakeholder review scripts turn the readout into a confirmation rather than a scramble.
Which should you choose?
Pick Perdoo if you want a proven tool, a strategy layer above the quarter, deeper integrations and enterprise controls, or you are a team of 5 or fewer who fits its free tier and values maturity.
Pick Hespia if your specific, recurring failure is that check-ins die after planning and goals drift unwatched until the readout. Hespia is $100/month flat for the whole team during its 2026 beta, so the cost is predictable either way, but remember it is new, narrower, and unproven at scale. Many teams could reasonably run both for a quarter and keep the one their team actually uses.
Try Hespia
If Perdoo’s breadth is more than you need and your real problem is goals that quietly stall, Hespia is worth a quarter. It is $100/month flat for the whole team during the 2026 beta, and Nova chases every key result for you. It is new and narrower than Perdoo, so run them side by side and keep whichever your team actually checks in on. Get started with Hespia.
Frequently asked questions
How much does Perdoo cost compared to Hespia?
Perdoo is free for up to 5 users, with paid Premium around 8 euros per user per month and Supreme around 10 euros per user per month, subject to volume discounts and a 5-license minimum on paid plans. Hespia is $100 per month flat for the whole team during its 2026 beta, no per-seat pricing.
What does Perdoo do that Hespia does not?
Perdoo has Strategy Maps that connect OKRs to longer-term ambitions, KPI boards, SSO and SCIM on paid tiers, API access, and integrations with Jira, Asana, and Power BI. It is a mature product with years of track record, where Hespia is new and in beta with a smaller feature surface.
What is Hespia better at than Perdoo?
Hespia is built around weekly pace tracking and active chasing. Its AI coach Nova flags a slipping key result in week 4 rather than week 13, sends timezone-aware weekly digests to each owner, and auto-drafts stakeholder review scripts. The whole product is organized around making check-ins happen rather than storing goals.
Should a 5 person team pick Hespia or Perdoo?
A 5 person team fits inside Perdoo free tier, which is a strong reason to start there if you want a proven tool. Choose Hespia instead if your specific problem is that weekly check-ins keep dying and you want a coach that actively nudges owners.
