ChartHop vs Visier

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

Starting price

ChartHop

Sales-quoted

People analytics and org-chart platform. Pricing is sales-quoted; ChartHop Core and its modules are packaged into a proposal.

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

Visier

Sales-quoted

Visier is the enterprise standard for people analytics: one governed model of the whole workforce, thousands of pre-built metrics, benchmarks against other enterprises, and Vee, an AI agent that answers workforce questions wherever people already work. It is sales-quoted and built for large organisations, so a small team or agency will find it out of reach.

Where Visier fits

  • Enterprise HR and talent leaders who need one trusted picture of headcount, cost and attrition
  • People analytics teams that want to hand routine questions to an agent
  • HR and Finance teams planning headcount and org design from the same numbers
  • IT teams that want AI agents on people data with permissions enforced at the source

Where they pull apart

ChartHop

Stands out: Core includes the org chart, employee map, and Ask ChartHop, then you stack Headcount Planning, Compensation, Performance, or Engagement modules instead of buying a full HCM.

Watch out: There is no published price. Modules are added on top of Core, so a team that wants HRIS, planning, and compensation pays for each module, not just Core. 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

Visier

Stands out: Vee and the MCP server. Most analytics vendors give you dashboards; Visier gives every leader an agent that answers a workforce question in Slack, Teams or Copilot, and lets your own Claude or ChatGPT agents query the same governed data over MCP with each person's permissions intact. Sixteen years of benchmark data tell you whether your turnover or time to fill is normal.

Watch out: No public pricing and no free trial: this is a sales-led enterprise purchase, with independent estimates running well into five or six figures a year. It reads your HR systems rather than replacing them, so the value depends on how clean your HRIS and ATS data are, and answers reflect the last data load, not live records.

Not the right fit for

  • Small companies and agencies without an HRIS worth analysing
  • Teams that need recruiting-only reporting an ATS already provides
  • Anyone who needs a published price or a self-serve trial

Pros and cons

ChartHop

  • Modular: buy Core, then add only the modules you need
  • Org chart, analytics, and planning without ripping out the HRIS
  • Named ATS and payroll connectors including ADP, Greenhouse, Ashby, and Workday
  • No published price
  • Modules stack on Core, so the bill compounds
  • AI Pro is pay-as-you-go on top of Core
  • No free plan or advertised free trial

Visier

  • One governed workforce model across HR, ATS and finance data
  • Vee answers questions in Slack, Teams and Copilot, not just in a dashboard
  • First-party MCP server with permissions enforced at the source
  • Benchmarks from a very large customer base
  • Pre-built connectors for the major HRIS and ATS platforms
  • Sales-quoted only, no free trial
  • Built for large organisations; overkill for small teams
  • Answers reflect the last data load, not live records
