Head to head

ChartHop vs OrgChart

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

OrgChart

$105/mo

OrgChart automates org charts from HR data and adds workforce planning on the Pro plan. Core starts at $105 per month for 100 employees charted, billed annually.

Where OrgChart fits

  • HR teams that want charts refreshed from Workday, UKG, ADP, or SAP
  • Mid market and enterprise orgs charting at least 100 people
  • Planners who want what if structures without writing back to the HRIS
  • Public sector buyers who can take a one to three year contract

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

OrgChart

Stands out: Scenarios stay outside the HRIS. The vendor says plans are built in a secure location without changing source data, while Pro adds position based workforce planning.

Watch out: The $105 figure is for 100 employees charted on an annual contract, and it rises as more people are charted. There is no free plan, and buying starts with a demo.

Not the right fit for

  • Teams under 100 people looking for a cheap self serve chart tool
  • Enterprises that need scenario changes written back into SAP or Workday
