Employee directory software gives teams a way to look up colleagues and understand how people are organized. Compare API access and custom fields with employee limits, location views, mobile apps and org charts. Free-plan availability and paid-from pricing can help you judge access and cost, while SSO is another point to check. The ranking begins with Slack, Connecteam and Business in a Box, with MangoApps and Names & Faces also among the first entries. Consider how employees need to search, what organizational details you want to show and whether mobile access or single sign-on matters for your setup.
43 employee directory software ranked on what their makers publish — plans and prices, free tiers, platforms and the facts on their own pages.
