Steady vs Weekdone (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Steady if

• Fits if your distributed team wants written updates in place of daily standups
• Works for teams that run AI coding agents and want them reporting next to people

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you want a bill you can predict per seat: each check-in costs a credit per recipient, and Goal Story and Echo posts cost 5
• Pricey if you just want standups, as eight people checking in daily need roughly $100 a month, against $2.50 a head for Geekbot
• Not for you if you want a chat app, as it delivers into Slack, Microsoft Teams or email
• Tight if credits run low, since deliveries stop until you add more, though updates are kept for 7 days
• Watch out: there's no free plan and no native phone app, as iPhone and Android get a progressive web app

Pick Weekdone if

• Fits if you are three people or fewer and want OKRs without paying
• Works for a manager who wants weekly written updates from a team

Look elsewhere if

• Pricey if you are 4 to 6 people, with a $59.17 monthly package on yearly billing
• Skip it if you want a team chat, as chat is only 1:1 and comments
• Watch out: the per-user price depends on headcount steps, so it changes as you grow
• Watch out: the pricing page fills in its figures with a script, so numbers may differ by view

Steady

• Cost follows usage: a check-in delivered to 5 people spends 5 credits, and Goal Story updates and Echo answers cost 5 credits per recipient.
• When credits run out Steady stops deliveries until more are added, though it keeps collecting updates for 7 days.
• On iOS and Android Steady runs as a progressive web app; the native apps are for Mac and Windows only.

Weekdone

• Chat is limited to 1:1 conversations, comments and a newsfeed; it is not a channel-based team chat tool.
• Prices are set by headcount steps, so the per-user rate depends on how many people you have.
• The pricing page fills in its figures with JavaScript; amounts here come from the price data it loads.
• The free plan covers three users; adding a fourth starts a 14-day trial before payment is needed.
