  • Sensible Pricing with No Lock-in

    Instead of per user pricing, Our Cat Herder is priced as a yearly or monthly fee for the organisation (legal entity) making it cost-effective and accessible for organisations of all sizes. Our competitors products often start at a minimum of several thousand dollars per year, but also lock you into confusing contracts that are difficult to exit.

“OCH has provided us with better document control and greater transparency by allowing board members easy access to important documents, minutes and agendas. It has also provided better continuity for managing information in the future, particularly when board members change. The agenda, minute taking and action setting function is excellent and allows for timely recording and dispatch of information. We have found OCH to be greatly beneficial to our organisation.”
