Why teams move to BoardSite
Most of the capability, at nonprofit prices.
You see the price before the demo
Diligent’s cost is whatever sales quotes after discovery. BoardSite publishes every tier, so a board can budget and decide without a procurement cycle.
Priced around the work, not seats
Board OS is designed to support recurring secretary work such as minutes, attendance, RSVPs, and follow-up on a flat published plan. Confirm current pricing on the Pricing page.
An operating layer, not just minutes
AI minutes are now table stakes. What changes how a board runs is the layer around them: briefs prepared, action items carried forward, the cadence managed. That’s Board OS.
