Why Teams Look for a Range Alternative
Range is great for async standups — but OKR execution needs a dedicated tool.
Range is a standup and communication tool that added OKRs as a secondary feature. Reviewers consistently note the goal-setting module is confusing and limited compared to dedicated OKR tools.
Range's Standard plan is $8/user/month. A 10-person team pays $80/month. Loach is €2.99/user/month — a 10-person team pays €29.90/month.
Range's check-ins are async standups about what you're working on. Loach's weekly planning connects those actions directly to Key Results — goals drive what gets planned each week.
Range's notification volume is consistently cited as excessive by reviewers — a friction point for teams that adopted it expecting low-overhead async communication.
How Loach Is Different
Purpose-built OKRs with weekly planning built in — and 3x cheaper.
Loach is designed from the ground up for OKRs — not a standup tool with goals bolted on. Weekly planning, check-ins, and initiative tracking are all built around the OKR cycle.
Loach is free for up to 5 users and €2.99/user/month after that. A 10-person team pays €29.90/month versus $80/month with Range.
Each week, your team creates a plan tied to Key Results and reviews progress. Goals aren't separate from work — they determine what gets worked on.
No Slack app configuration, no GitHub integration setup. Sign up, create your OKRs, invite your team. Ready to go in one session.
