Nakisa Workforce Planning from Sales-quoted API

The short answer

  • Ingentis org.manager : Ingentis is an SAP Endorsed App focused on live charts and reorg modeling, without Nakisa's write back. From Sales-quoted
  • Orgvue : Orgvue is enterprise org design and workforce scenario modeling, also sold by quote. From Sales-quoted
  • Pigment : Pigment plans headcount inside a wider finance planning platform and offers a 14 day trial. From Sales-quoted
  • ChartHop : ChartHop publishes per employee pricing from $5 a month and suits mid size companies. From $5/employee/mo

Why people look past Nakisa Workforce Planning

This is built for large, complex organizations, not a small chart tool. Licensing language on the site is per user, not per employee, and the dollar rate is quoted.

What we noted

  • Quote only, with a demo rather than a trial
  • Too heavy for a small company that only needs a picture of reporting lines
  • The public API index also covers lease accounting, so workforce endpoints need a scoping call

Not the right fit for

  • Teams that want a self serve chart for under a few hundred people
  • Buyers who need a public per employee price

Worth keeping in mind: Three suites ship together: Org Chart, Org Design, and Strategic Workforce Planning. Nakisa Decision Intelligence checks plans against org design rules in natural language.

What each one does differently

Why it comes up: Ingentis is an SAP Endorsed App focused on live charts and reorg modeling, without Nakisa's write back.

Stands out: It is an SAP Endorsed App for SuccessFactors and connects without middleware. Chart editions run from Essential live charts to Premium metrics such as FTE by department.

Watch out: There is no public price and no self serve trial, only a demo. The product is aimed at companies that already run a major HR system, not a 40 person team drawing a chart by hand.

Best for

  • SAP SuccessFactors and SAP HCM customers that want charts without middleware
  • Enterprises modeling reorganizations and mergers on real HR data
  • HR teams that need UKG, Workday, Oracle, ADP, or Personio as a source

Orgvue

Sales-quoted

Why it comes up: Orgvue is enterprise org design and workforce scenario modeling, also sold by quote.

Stands out: Core licenses are Org Insights (current-state charts, analytics, joiner-mover-leaver) and Org Design (to-be structures, costed scenarios, talent selection). People Planning and Strategic Workforce Planning are module add-ons.

Watch out: Configuration is done with Orgvue experts. This is not a self-serve $29 org-chart editor. Expect a project, not a credit-card signup.

Best for

  • HR, finance, and strategy teams running restructures with costed to-be scenarios
  • Enterprises that need a cleaned org dataset before they draw charts
  • Workforce planners adding Strategic Workforce Planning on top of design

Pigment

Sales-quoted 14 day free trial MCP API

Why it comes up: Pigment plans headcount inside a wider finance planning platform and offers a 14 day trial.

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.

Best for

  • HR and finance teams planning headcount and cost in one model
  • Companies that already run FP&A in Pigment and want workforce scenarios
  • Planners who want merit and promotion planning next to headcount

ChartHop

$5/employee/mo API

Why it comes up: ChartHop publishes per employee pricing from $5 a month and suits mid size companies.

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.

Best for

  • 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
