Where they pull apart

Functionly

Stands out: A 22-day trial is printed on the pricing page, and annual Starter is $240/mo for 10 seats, which is $24 per seat per month.

Watch out: Annual plans require 10 user seats. Monthly extra seats are $48/seat/mo, so the cheap $24 figure is the annual toggle, not month-to-month.

Not the right fit for

  • Enterprises that want Orgvue-class expert modeling and SWP add-ons
  • Buyers who cannot commit to 10 annual seats

Pigment

Stands out: Headcount planning is a named use case with org charts, hiring workflows, and connections to finance data. Pigment publishes both an API and an MCP server for Pigment AI.

Watch out: Workday, Greenhouse, HiBob, and Lever are marked on the roadmap, not as live connectors. Live names on the integrations page are NetSuite, Sage Intacct, and SAP. The product is also used for finance and supply chain planning.

Not the right fit for

  • A buyer who wants a dedicated org chart tool and nothing else
  • Teams that need a live Workday or Greenhouse connector today

Pros and cons

Functionly

  • Printed annual Starter and Advanced rates plus a 22-day trial
  • Compensation fields with access control, not just boxes and lines
  • Enterprise API and SOC 2 when you outgrow CSV imports
  • Annual billing has a 10-seat minimum
  • Monthly extra seats cost twice the annual extra-seat rate on Starter
  • Capterra has no matched review base for Functionly

Pigment

  • Headcount planning and workforce planning are named products on the site
  • 14 day trial of the platform, then read only access
  • Documented API and an MCP server when Pigment AI is on
  • Not a standalone org chart product
  • Major HRIS and ATS connectors are still marked on the roadmap
  • No public price
