Notes:
Prices quoted above are for a vendor's version that supports board pack annotations at a minimum. This is because a number of vendors offer 'crippled' lower priced versions of their software that do not support annotations, which we regard as a non-negotiable feature.
i) Approximated price. BoardPro prices per board per year - our calculation is for 15-users, a Premium board and 3 extra committees.
Too Many Board Portal Software Vendors
There are so many board portals for an organisation to choose from. All the vendors listed above, offer cloud based systems that enable a board of directors to attend meetings and securely access board meeting documents. Many systems offer enhanced functionality and tools that are framed as value adds to justify higher prices. In general practice, the majority of users make use of the main core features and seldom use the fancy options that are touted as big selling points.
Among the most popular vendors are Diligent, Convene, BoardEffect, BoardPro and a few others. BoardCloud is an upcoming competitor for these vendors.
Too Many Board Portal Features
It is a certainty, that you will never use all the features available in any board portal. However, this fact does not dissuade buyers from arriving with a checklist that has every possible board portal bell and whistle. When in practice no board will ever exercise more than a fraction of these features.
Than being said, BoardCloud has 99% feature parity with most of the competitive offerings above. And if you find we are missing a feature, all you have to do is ask and our engineers will add it for you.
