Boardable is a clean, easy-to-use board portal that works well for small volunteer boards. If your board is growing and the records start to matter — to an auditor, a regulator, or counsel — the per-seat pricing and the audit posture are worth a fresh look.
Flat $200/month for unlimited users. Passkey authentication. SHA-256 audit package on every consent.
Boardable has earned its reputation: it is simple, friendly, and a perfectly fine choice for a six-person volunteer nonprofit board. The questions are about what happens when the board grows past ten people, when an audit notices the records, and when a director's iPad gets stolen.
The differences that matter once a board's record needs to defend itself.

The four places where the difference matters most once a board grows past a handful of directors.
Boardable's entry tier is attractive at small headcounts. But the model is per-user, billed annually — every administrator, committee member, and observer adds cost.
At fifteen seats on Boardable Professional ($29.99/user/month), the annual bill is roughly $5,400. Boardwise is $2,400 flat with no per-seat ceiling. The crossover is around the eight-to-ten-user mark.
Boardable's documented sign-in options are Google, Microsoft, or LinkedIn SSO, plus passwordless email magic links and optional 2FA. Magic links are convenient but only as strong as the director's email account.
Boardwise uses passkeys by default. The credential lives on the device's secure enclave (Face ID, Touch ID) or a hardware key. There is no email link to intercept and no password to phish.
Every written consent signed in Boardwise produces a downloadable audit package containing a SHA-256 integrity digest. If the document is altered after signing, the hash will not match. The signature, the signer's passkey, and the final document are cryptographically tied together.
Boardable offers eSignatures in its Professional+ tier, marketed as workflow convenience rather than a cryptographic governance record.
Boardwise's audit log records every view, download, edit, deletion, and permission change in real time. It cannot be altered by users.
Boardable's security documentation describes document audit logs captured "every five minutes," exportable as CSV. That is a reasonable record for casual review; it is not the standard a regulator or opposing counsel asks for when the question is "prove this resolution was not altered."
If any of these describe your board, Boardable is a credible choice.
