Cooperly vs Range
Cooperly is for founder-led companies that want to know where work is stuck without asking everyone to report. Range runs check-ins, mood, goals and meeting agendas that people fill in; Cooperly reads the commitments already in team chat and tasks, and asks people only what tools cannot show.
30 days free. No card.
Old rule
Ask everyone to report what they did and how they feel.
New rule
Read status from the work, and ask people only what it can’t show.
Check-ins work while people fill them in honestly and on time. By 30 people, the form is one more chore and the answers get shorter. Cooperly reads the decisions and blockers already in chat and tasks, and keeps Pulse for what only people can say.
Read what the work already shows
Decisions, commitments and blockers already sit in Slack channels, ClickUp chat and Asana tasks. Cooperly proposes them as team facts; the team lead confirms each one.
Ask only what tools can’t tell
Profiles, Pulse and Fundamentals add how people work, what feels stuck and which agreement needs another conversation.
Your agents prepare. People decide.
ChatGPT, Claude and your other approved tools read the picture through MCP. The team agrees the owner and the next step.
Range vs Cooperly: features and fit
Cooperly is built for founder-led companies before management becomes an HR programme. Compare that job with the one Range is designed to do.

Why choose Cooperly as a Range alternative?
Start with the job you need the system to do.
The check-in repeats what the tools know.
Cooperly reads the Slack thread and the task comment where the blocker was mentioned. The lead confirms it once; nobody has to type it again in a form.
Range collects an update from each person and lets them attach work items from connected tools. As the team grows, keeping that habit costs more; Cooperly takes the retyping away and keeps people’s time for Pulse and profiles. Source for The check-in repeats what the tools know.
Choose Cooperly when check-in fatigue has set in and you need the picture anyway. Choose Range when a daily check-in ritual is what your team wants.
A mood score needs a cause.
Cooperly puts a falling Pulse next to the facts from the same team, so the lead can see that the drop started when ownership of the release changed.
Range records mood with each check-in. Cooperly connects a change in that mood to the decision or handoff behind it. Source for A mood score needs a cause.
Choose Cooperly when you need to know why the mood changed. Choose Range when you mainly want a daily mood signal next to updates.
Thirty check-ins a day, one missing owner.
Every check-in said “waiting on design”. None said who in design. Cooperly finds the request in the Slack channel, the lead confirms it as a blocker, and the two people involved agree a date.

Read the latest Pulse beside the team facts.
Find the blocker

Agree the owner

Give the same trusted context to the AI tools your team already uses.
