GameTime OS and Ninety, side by side
If you run a weekly leadership meeting, you have probably looked at Ninety. It is a well-known tool for running a business on a set operating system. GameTime OS runs the weekly meeting too. This page is about what each one is built for, and what comes after the meeting.

Where these facts come from
What this page says about Ninety comes from Ninety's own website, checked on October 11, 2026. Software changes, so see Ninety's pricing page (opens in a new tab) for its current plans and prices. We do not print them here, because a price on someone else's page goes out of date without anyone noticing.
Who each is built for
Ninety describes itself as software for running EOS, the Entrepreneurial Operating System, a management approach used by companies across many industries. Its tools follow that system's structure and its words.
GameTime OS is built for home service owners and their crews: window cleaners, roofers, fence builders, lawn and pest companies, and the rest of the trades that send people to customers' homes. It has its own system, built around the week, and it reaches past the leadership team to the crew.
What both do
Credit where it is due. Ninety's site lists the core tools a weekly operating rhythm needs, and GameTime OS has its own version of each:
- A weekly leadership meeting with a fixed agenda. In GameTime OS it is the Win the Week meeting.
- A short list of weekly numbers. In GameTime OS it is the Scoreboard.
- Quarterly goals. In GameTime OS they are Drives, two to twelve weeks long, broken into dated steps.
- A list of problems to solve. In GameTime OS they are Flags.
- To-dos with owners and dates. In GameTime OS they are Plays, due within seven days.
- An org chart. In GameTime OS it is My Team.
If those six things are all you need, either will do the job. The difference is everything after them.
What GameTime OS adds
An AI Staff organized like a company
Coach AI and six Directors (Sales, Marketing, Operations, Technology, People and Finance), with specialists behind each Director, answer from your own Company Settings: your trade, your services and the context you give them. When a conversation turns into work, they propose a Play, a Drive or a Flag, and nothing is added until you press the card. Ninety's AI is built to help with its own tools; the Staff is built to help you run each part of the business, every plan included.
Reporting that runs itself
On the Dynasty plan, a financial review arrives on the 1st of each month, built from your own books, with each finding ready to become a Play or a Flag. On every plan, the Scoreboard is organized on the 10 Steps a home service job travels, so a number that moves points at the step that moved it.
Hiring and building the team
Recruitment tracks your openings and candidates from New through Screening, Interview, Offer and Hired. My Team holds your org chart with up to five responsibilities per person, and a private People check helps you assess the right person in the right seat.
The crew, not just the leadership team
The daily Huddle is a morning post your crew reads on their phones and confirms. Each teammate with a login (on Pro and up) sees their own Plays, Drives and Flags on My GameTime. And past the week itself: Listings to keep your directory profiles right (Pro and up), Marketing and paid channel records, the Operator's Map for the owner, the Playbook Library and The League, a community of other owners.
How the price works
Ninety's pricing page lists per-user plans, with AI features on its top plan. GameTime OS plans are one monthly price for the business, with more seats for teammates on the higher plans and Coach AI and the six Directors on every plan; see GameTime OS pricing. Every plan is paid from day one, and you can change or cancel it yourself at any time.
When Ninety is the better choice
Say it plainly, because it is true:
- Your company already runs EOS with an implementer and wants software that uses that system's exact tools and words.
- You are not a home service business, and the trade-specific parts of GameTime OS would sit unused.
- Only your leadership team will ever log in, and you do not want the crew on the same system.
If any of those is you, Ninety is a sensible pick. If you run a home service business and want the crew, the hiring and an AI Staff in the same place as the meeting, GameTime OS was built for you.
Questions to ask before you choose
Whichever way you lean, ask Ninety and GameTime OS the same things:
- Who will log in? If only the leadership team, most tools work. If the crew should see their own work and the morning plan, check what each plan includes for them.
- Where do the numbers come from? Typed in by hand every week, or read from your own books? Typed numbers are fine, as long as someone owns typing them.
- What happens to a problem after the meeting? Look for a way to give it an owner and a date, not just a line in the notes.
- What does it know about your trade? A tool built for every business will ask you to translate. Decide whether that matters to you.
- What will it cost at next year's size? Price the plan for the team you expect to have, not the team you have today.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Is GameTime OS an EOS tool?
No. It shares ideas many operating systems share, such as a weekly meeting, quarterly goals and a short list of numbers, but it is its own system, built for home service owners and their crews.
Can I move from Ninety to GameTime OS?
Yes. There is no automatic import, so you re-enter your current numbers, open goals and team by hand. Most of the setup is your business details, which the AI Staff then uses in every answer.
Does GameTime OS have AI?
Yes. Coach AI and six Directors, one for each area of the business, are on every plan. They answer from your own Company Settings and propose work for you to approve; they never add anything on their own.
Can my crew use GameTime OS on their phones?
Yes. Teammates with their own logins, on Pro and up, read the daily Huddle post and see their own work on their phones.
Can I try GameTime OS before I pay?
Every GameTime OS plan is paid from day one, starting at the smallest plan, and you can change or cancel it yourself at any time. The guides and calculators on this site need no account, so you can see how the system thinks before you sign up.
