Loomio
Decision-making software for groups and organizations.
Loomio is an open-source decision-making platform for groups and organizations, built by a worker-owned cooperative since 2011. It provides a dedicated space where a question, its background, and supporting documents can be discussed in context, proposals can be voted on with reasoning attached, and the outcome and next steps are recorded in a searchable archive.
Core capabilities include threaded discussions, proposals with reasoned positions, and a persistent record of decisions. Data can be exported in CSV, HTML, or JSON, and hosting can be placed in the USA, EU, or Australia. The code can be inspected, adapted, and self-hosted. Private Loomio adds single sign-on with SAML or OAuth, a dedicated server and private database, custom branding and domain, and custom integrations.
Loomio is packaged as Starter for a single group of up to 30 people without subgroups, and Pro for organizations with multiple teams and unlimited subgroups, with member caps that differ for commercial and nonprofit organizations. Nonprofit pricing is available to eligible organizations. A 14-day free trial is offered with limits on people and threads, and plans can be paid annually or monthly.
