Software comparison
Ninety vs Success.co: which EOS app fits
Two products carry a license from EOS® Worldwide, and a leadership team shopping for the first time usually cannot tell them apart from the feature grids. The real split is philosophical. One of them has grown past the method it was built for and now serves several. The other has stayed deliberately narrow and treats the method as the specification.
This page covers products whose makers may pay us a referral fee if you sign up through us. It costs you nothing extra and it doesn't change what we recommend. How we make money.
01
The short answer, then the reasoning
Success.co is the closer fit if you want the software to follow the method exactly as the book describes it, and Ninety is the closer fit if you expect to drift from it or want the deepest free reference material behind the product. Price is not the deciding factor here. Both publish a free tier and a thirty day trial, and both cost less per person than one hour of implementer time.
One disclosure before the detail: we may earn a referral fee if you sign up through our links, and our disclosure page has the full arrangement. It changes nothing about which product we name for which company, and no vendor reads a page here before it goes up.
Ninety is the bigger of the two and the one most leadership teams have already heard of. Its pricing page, checked August 2026, lists four plans per user per month: a free plan at zero, then Essentials at $8.40, Accelerate at $9.80 and Thrive at $11.20, each of those shown against a higher regular price of $12, $14 and $16. The trial runs thirty days on the top plan. What matters more than the cents is that Ninety took a license from EOS Worldwide in 2023 and has since widened the product to support other operating systems as well, which is either reassuring or a warning sign depending on how you read it.
Success.co went the other way. Its implementer page carries an official licensee badge and the phrase 100 percent EOS-Pure, and the company says the product was built with more than thirty implementers and refined by them. Nothing in the interface asks you to choose a framework, because there is only one. The free tier is generous by any standard: unlimited use of the vision organizer, the org chart and the organizational checkup, with no expiry attached.
Where Success.co is harder to shop for is price. The paid plan is called All Inclusive and is charged per user, and the page names five team size bands running from one to twenty five up through two hundred fifty one to a thousand, with a note that your cost per user falls as the team grows. The dollar figures are not in the page. That is per-user pricing that falls with team size, and the exact figures are only shown in the app, checked August 2026, so treat any number you find on a blog as somebody's guess.
| Question | Ninety | Success.co |
|---|---|---|
| What it sets out to be | A platform organized around the six components of the method, now broadened to run other operating systems from the same account. | A single-method product. The company describes itself as EOS-Pure and offers no way to switch the vocabulary to another framework. |
| Relationship to EOS Worldwide | Licensed since 2023, announced publicly at the time, with the license covering use of the official terms inside the product. | Carries an official licensee badge on its site and says the product was built with more than thirty implementers and refined by them. |
| Free plan | Zero dollars per user, covering the V/TO®, the Accountability Chart™, assessments, the toolbox and read-only access to the knowledge portal. | Called Free Forever, covering unlimited use of the vision organizer, the org chart and the organizational checkup, with no time limit attached. |
| Paid pricing | Three plans per user per month: $8.40, $9.80 and $11.20, each listed beside a higher regular price of $12, $14 and $16. | One plan, All Inclusive, priced per user in five team size bands from 1 to 25 up to 251 to 1,000. The dollar figures are not published on the page. |
| Free trial | Thirty days on the top plan, no card asked for at signup. | Thirty days on the paid plan, no card asked for at signup. |
| What the cheapest paid plan adds | The Level 10 Meeting™ agenda, weekly numbers, quarterly priorities, to-dos, the issues list, the mobile app and integrations. | Nothing to choose. There is one paid plan and it carries the whole product, which is where the name comes from. |
| What the higher plans add | Insights and extra meeting types midway up, then an AI assistant, knowledge portal authoring, process documentation and API access at the top. | Not applicable. Single sign-on is $250 a month and directory sync another $250, and directory sync requires single sign-on first. |
| Reference material outside the app | A public glossary running to roughly eighty five terms, a blog with a working feed, case studies, webinars and a help center, none of it gated. | A hub of long-form articles under named authors, help documents, free downloadable templates and an annual survey of implementers. |
| What it offers implementers | A free partner program with a referral link, collateral and a revenue share whose rate the company does not publish. | A published 25 percent lifetime revenue share on introduced clients, or a 15 percent discount passed to the client instead, plus a free account for anyone with an eosworldwide.com address. |
| Nonprofit pricing | Half price for registered 501(c)(3) organizations. | Half price for 501(c)(3) organizations or the local equivalent. |

Where this comparison usually goes wrong
Three errors show up over and over. Teams shop on the feature grid when the grids are nearly identical. They read the multi-framework question backwards, treating breadth as maturity or as dilution without asking which one their own company needs. And they buy in month one, before anyone knows what the weekly meeting actually looks like.
Take the feature grid first. Both products model the same artifacts, because both are licensed to model the same artifacts. Put them side by side and you will find a handful of differences that matter to nobody in year one: how a meeting rating is captured, whether a headline is its own object, what becomes of a completed priority. Choosing on that is choosing on noise.
The framework question deserves better thinking than it usually gets. If your leadership team is likely to keep the method for a decade, breadth buys you nothing and costs you a slightly busier interface. If you suspect you will borrow from elsewhere within two years, or you already run a goal format the method has no opinion about, a product that has been through that widening is the safer purchase. Neither answer is more grown up than the other.
The timing error is the expensive one. Software is very good at making a badly designed weekly meeting look organized. A team that has never held the meeting on paper does not yet know which numbers belong on the sheet, which means it will fill the new tool with rows it abandons by March. Run it in a spreadsheet for a quarter, find out what you actually watch every Monday, then pay for something to hold it.
Neither of these companies is EOS Worldwide, and a license does not make a product official in the sense buyers usually mean. This site has no connection to EOS Worldwide either.

Switching between them, and what moves with you
Moving from one to the other is mostly a copy and paste job, because the artifacts are the same shape in both. The vision organizer, the org chart and the current quarter's priorities transfer in an afternoon. What does not transfer is history, and that is the only thing worth negotiating over before you commit.
Meeting history, ratings and closed issues are the awkward part. Both products hold them, neither hands them to the other in a usable form, and a team that has run the rhythm for three years will feel the loss for about a month. If that record matters to you, ask each vendor what an export contains before you sign, in writing, and hold onto the answer.
Running both at once is a mistake with one exception. Two sources of truth for a weekly number sheet means neither gets updated, and the meeting fills with reconciliation instead of decisions. The exception is a deliberate two week overlap while you migrate, with one product declared read-only from the start and a date on the calendar to turn it off.
