Strety and Nautis are both called operating software, and that's about where the similarity ends. Strety's homepage calls it EOS software, officially licensed by EOS Worldwide, built by the creators of BrightGauge. Nautis was built for startup founders and has no management framework inside it.
You probably landed here because a search for business operating system tools put both in front of you. The sections below separate the two by job, starting with the case where Nautis shouldn't be considered at all. Details about Strety come from its own site, read in October 2026. EOS® is a trademark of EOS Worldwide.
Should an EOS company consider Nautis at all?
No. If your leadership team has an implementer, runs L10s and sets Rocks each quarter, you should choose an EOS tool, and Strety is one of them. Nautis has no L10 agenda, Rocks, V/TO, People Analyzer or OKR tracker, and it doesn't teach any framework.
Strety also has an EOS Pure toggle in its core tools, a free Coach role for up to two implementers per account, and says most teams run their first L10 within a week. If that sentence describes what you want, you can skip the rest of this page and start its 30-day trial. For a wider look at EOS software, see Ninety alternatives, which covers several.
How the two compare on the jobs that matter
| Job | Strety | Nautis |
|---|---|---|
| Run a weekly leadership meeting | L10s with an AI assistant that captures To Dos and agenda notes | No meeting format. Scheduling and transcripts only |
| Quarterly goals | Rocks and a Projects board with workflow stages | Task boards, Outcome and KPI tasks, Outcome Workflows |
| One-on-ones and reviews | 1:1s, custom reviews, Quarterly Conversations, HR Center | No review tool. Employee directory and Jobs module |
| Team sentiment | Surveys including eNPS, Pulse Check and Check-Ins | Burnout Radar, a private weekly wellness check-in |
| Process documentation | Strety Docs and Playbooks, attached to roles | Notes and Documents |
| Team recognition and messages | Shoutouts and Messages | Team chat with channels and threads |
| Investor pipeline, data room | Not listed | Fundraising CRM, data rooms, investor readiness |
| Runway and invoicing | Not listed | Runway in Startup Health, plus the Financial planner, Invoices and Expenses |
| Sales CRM | HubSpot integration. CRM not listed | Leads CRM and Contacts |

Read the table by row groups. The top half is management of people and priorities, where Strety is deep. The bottom half is the outside-facing business, which Strety handles through integrations and Nautis holds natively.
Your operations lead keeps missing commitments
This small scenario shows the gap clearly. A 20-person company has an operations lead who has missed two quarterly commitments, and the founder wants to deal with it fairly.
In Strety, the record is already there. The Rocks and To Dos sit in her space, the 1:1 agenda lives in the performance tools, a Quarterly Conversation gives the talk a structure, and the People Analyzer gives a shared way to discuss fit. The HR Center shows whether those conversations are happening across the company.
In Nautis, you can see her overdue tasks on a board and in the briefing, and you could log the choice you make in the Decision Loop with a 60-day review. The review conversation itself is yours to design, in a note or on paper. For a company that size, with managers who need a common process, that's a real shortfall, and you shouldn't expect Nautis to fill it.
The opposite case: the investor who went quiet
Now reverse the situation. A six-person seed company has a lead investor who hasn't replied in nine days, the last runway check-in shows seven months, and a customer invoice has been unpaid for a fortnight.
Nautis was designed for exactly this combination. The Chief of Staff can surface fundraising signals, runway and overdue invoices in one morning list, each item opening its source record. A reminder or follow-up shows the recipients and full text before it goes, and on workspaces where WhatsApp is switched on, the founder can approve from a phone.
Strety's published pages don't describe investor or cash records, so these items would live in a spreadsheet and an inbox while Strety tracks whether a Rock called "close bridge" is on track. That works if the discipline is there, but the software doesn't connect the facts for you.
Pricing: one seat price against three plans
Strety's pricing page shows no plans at all. It charges about $13 per user a month in the US, billed monthly plus tax, with no contract or minimum seats. It says there's no premium tier to upgrade into, and the only separately billed item is the BrightGauge Software integration. Observers can view and comment for free. Users from the 31st onward are billed at a lower rate, which the page doesn't give.
| People | Strety | Nautis |
|---|---|---|
| 5 | About $65 | $49 (Launch) |
| 10 | About $130 | $99 (Voyage) |
| 15 | $195, its own example | $129 (Fleet) |
| 25 | $325, its own example | $129 (Fleet) |
| 50 | Under $650, lower rate past 30 users | Above Fleet's 25-member limit |
Don't read this as Nautis being cheap and Strety being dear. If only your 12 managers need paid seats and everyone else observes, a 60-person company could pay Strety about $156 a month. Nautis also meters AI: 1,000, 2,000 or 2,600 credits a month by plan, and the cap table and evening debrief are not on Launch. Strety's AI page states no usage limit or separate price, so ask them about limits before you depend on it. Our Tool Tax calculator can help total what you pay now.
AI that assists a meeting, or AI that watches the company
Strety's AI stays close to the method. The assistant captures To Dos and writes agenda notes, AI Suggestions draft Rocks, Scorecards and Processes using your account context and its EOS knowledge, and the AI Integration brings your EOS data into ChatGPT, Claude or Microsoft Copilot.
Nautis aims wider and asks for more trust. The Chief of Staff ranks work across modules, and agents can draft and send through connected tools. In return you get the Approval Center, per-capability Ask every time or Run without asking settings, and an audit log of every action. That review takes daily attention, so a founder who won't clear approvals will get less out of it. The human-in-the-loop guide explains why the default works this way.
Who connects to what
Strety's integration list says a lot about who it serves. Next to Google, Microsoft, Slack, Asana, Monday, ClickUp and HubSpot are ConnectWise, HaloPSA, Autotask, BrightGauge, Procore and Wealthbox. It also runs a dedicated MSP partner program. A managed service provider or a trades business on those systems will find its stack named there.
Nautis offers a catalog of 1,000+ apps through a managed sign-in, but connecting isn't syncing: agents call actions on demand and nothing is copied into Nautis. If you want a two-way project sync of the kind Strety describes, don't assume the Nautis catalog will behave that way.
What you give up by choosing Nautis
- It has no people-management toolkit, so reviews, 1:1s and engagement surveys will sit elsewhere.
- It launched publicly in July 2026, and few independent reviews exist.
- Startup plans stop at 25 team members, and larger firms with complex permissions may fit other tools better.
- Its 14-day trial is about half of Strety's 30 days, and you need more data in place for a useful result.
- It isn't an accounting system, and its CRM won't match a dedicated one.
Our view: an established services firm or MSP should look at Strety first. A founder-led startup still finding its model, with no appetite for a framework, should look at Nautis, and may want to read what a business OS looks like for startups before picking either.

Is Strety officially licensed for EOS?
