At their core Aprio and OnBoard board portals do similar things – helping boards with organizing meetings, securely distributing board packages, and engaging and keeping directors up to date. But there are some standout differences to consider as you decide which to buy.

Easy-to-use interface
Customer reviews of Aprio’s board portal indicate how easy it is for board members to log in and get started from day one.

Full-service onboarding for all
From day one, Aprio helps every customer set up their board meeting software, import existing data, and ensure their board portal is perfectly configured. You’ll work directly with experienced board portal administrators to make your migration or first-time setup a breeze. OnBoard includes onboarding guidance for premium or ultimate customers only. |
Yes | No |
Unlimited training and support included
With Aprio, 24/7 training and support are included for every customer. We patiently help board directors one-on-one to use the platform, even those who are tech-averse. And we expertly guide board admins. This level of support is only available through OnBoard’s ultimate package. |
Yes | No |
Complete reporting
Aprio provides nine standard reports to track board activity, attendance, login behaviour, groups, and audit reporting. OnBoard tracks meeting and engagement analytics such as total meeting views, board book views and what’s being read. |

Aprio stands out in the industry for providing red carpet service and the most full-featured, easiest-to-use board portal available. With Aprio, every customer gets unlimited training and support and expert onboarding help, even if you’re starting simply with our platform.
We lead the industry in customer loyalty and service satisfaction and have you fully protected with top-level industry-standard security. We’ll work hard to win your trust and keep it.
Aprio and OnBoard offer similar board management features like:
However, be wary that many of the above features are not included in OnBoard’s basic package, so you’ll need to upgrade your package in order to gain access. For example, task management tools, voting & approvals and e-signatures are not included in the base package.
Like with OnBoard, you can get started simply with Aprio but you get more out of the gate. We offer all the standard tools and features to better manage your board: a library of current and past board materials, minutes builder, agenda builder, calendars, annotations, audit reports, decision tracking, desktop and remote access, attendance reports, and much more – with access to both desktop and mobile applications as part of our base subscription.
When comparing the cost of board portal software, it’s important to get customized quotes to truly compare. Better technology and service can come at a bit higher price, so be sure to consider your goals and all the features you need, not just grab the best deal.
OnBoard offers three-tier packages that offer different advanced features and varying levels of onboarding, training and support. For example, guided onboarding and private training sessions are only available in the premium and higher packages.
Aprio offers 2 tiers of pricing to give you the same “use what you want, when you want” freedom of OnBoard. Our starter subscription includes 15 user licenses – any number of which can be administrators — and unlimited committees at no extra cost. Only with Aprio does even the basic edition get you unlimited training and support and red-carpet onboarding.
We believe that good governance should be simple. That’s why Aprio’s pricing model ensures you won’t pay for more users than you need or for features you aren’t ready to use. Our product specialists will work with you on building a package that aligns with your budget and goals.
Not all board portals offer the same caliber of responsive service. Because a board portal is used by some of the most influential and time-starved people in your organization, it is paramount that product support is highly professional and useful.
OnBoard offers 24/7 technical support available via phone or email along with an online knowledge center.
Aprio’s customer support goes above and beyond OnBoard, but don’t take our word for it. Try to call each support line to see which you’d rather have. Do you get a call center? Wait on hold?
Unlike other board portals such as OnBoard, with Aprio you won’t get directed to an online knowledge center, deal with hard-to-reach call centers or find automated-chat answers. When you call us, you’ll talk with a former board administrator who knows firsthand the stresses and urgencies of boards—24/7, 365 days a year.
We’re proud to offer unmatched expert service and continue our track record of excellence in customer support and training, achieving a 95% customer loyalty rate.
Evaluating board management software and making the switch in a few weeks is possible! We help many customers like you daily to lighten the work of getting ready for meetings by providing expert support and technology to directors.
