BoardSite vs OnBoard

Why teams move to BoardSite
Everything in, nothing metered.
What you demo is what you pay
OnBoard’s entry tier turns voting, surveys, e-signatures, and minutes into add-ons. Board OS ships the whole operating layer at one flat price.
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.
