Head to head

ChartHop vs Lattice

Same facts, side by side: starting price, free tier, MCP, API and what each one is actually built for.

ChartHop

$5/employee/mo

People analytics and org-chart platform. ChartHop Core is $5/employee/mo billed annually; HRIS, planning, and compensation are extra modules.

Where ChartHop fits

People ops teams replacing org-chart spreadsheets
Finance and HR partners who need headcount and compensation in one model
Companies that want people analytics without swapping the HRIS
Orgs already on ADP, Greenhouse, Ashby, or Workday that need a live org graph

Lattice

$4/seat/mo

Performance, engagement and HRIS for people operations, with per-seat pricing from $4/mo, billed annually.

Where Lattice fits

People-ops teams of roughly 50 to 500
Companies running review cycles
HR teams that want surveys next to goals
Buyers using the Claude or ChatGPT marketplaces

Where they pull apart

ChartHop

Stands out: Core is a real public number with the org chart, employee map, and Ask ChartHop included, then you stack Headcount Planning, Compensation, Performance, or Engagement at $3–$4/employee/mo instead of buying a full HCM.

Watch out: Modules are not a cheaper alternative to Core. You pay Core plus each module, billed annually, so a team that wants HRIS, planning, and compensation is looking at $5+$4+$4+$4 per employee per month, not $5. ChartHop AI Pro is pay-as-you-go on top.

Not the right fit for

Teams that only need a static PDF org chart
Buyers who want a free forever plan

Lattice

Stands out: Review cycles, goals and surveys in one people-ops suite, with MCP in the assistant marketplaces.

Watch out: Pricing is modular, so the per-seat figure depends on which products you buy, and every contract is billed annually with a $4,000 minimum.

Not the right fit for

Talent acquisition teams looking for an ATS
US payroll-first small-business buyers
