Arrange

Overview

Arrange is an annual workforce planning tool for teams that need to connect an organization’s shape to its projected costs. It combines visual planning with editable, spreadsheet-style work, and extends that plan into scenario comparisons and funding approvals.

Its appeal is strongest for people planning headcount and budgets together. The free plan is useful for an individual working locally, but collaboration and approval workflows require the substantially more expensive Team plan.

Key features

A plan in two views

Arrange keeps its organization canvas and editable grid aligned, so a change made in one view is reflected in the other. That suits planners who need to shift between mapping roles and teams visually and working through the underlying figures in a table. Annual planning covers headcount forecasting, compensation, org charts, scenario modeling, and budget variance tracking.

Costs and scenarios

The fully loaded benchmark card spans 14 roles, 7 levels, and 7 currencies, and its estimates can be overridden. This provides a starting point for costing plans without forcing planners to accept benchmark assumptions as their own. Scenario comparisons show cost changes, helping teams weigh alternative staffing plans before deciding which to fund.

Imports, exports, and approvals

PowerPoint org charts and Excel headcount sheets can be imported through a review step; PowerPoint exports remain editable. Funding requests and approvals are more than a scenario feature: Arrange can record who proposed and approved a request, when, and under what conditions. Those workflow tools sit in Team, not the free or Pro plans.

Sharing and data controls

View-only links show the current plan structure and costs to anyone who has the link. They exclude review requests, comments, member lists, and editing controls, but the audience is still defined by possession of the link rather than a member list. Without an account, plans stay in browser storage on the user’s device and are not sent to Arrange; signing in enables sync. Google and Microsoft sign-in are supported, and users can start without integrations.

For synced plans, changes are validated server side against plan membership. The privacy policy describes access controls, authenticated requests, and encrypted network connections. Arrange says it does not sell or share planning data with third parties or train models on plans, and that analytics events exclude plan contents. The terms also say the service is under active development and carries no service-level commitment, a meaningful caveat for organizations depending on it for ongoing operations.

Pricing

Arrange uses a freemium model, with a free plan and a 14-day trial. Pro and Team are priced per workspace per month, not per user; Team’s stated price includes 5 collaborators.

Pro removes those limits and adds sync, imports, clean exports, and planning history, making it the practical fit for an individual or workspace that needs to develop several plans. Its listed price is a planned launch price. Team costs considerably more, but is the tier for groups that need a formal approval trail and review workflow; company rate cards are noted for release later.

Annual billing lowers the stated monthly price for Pro and Team. The trial lasts 14 days; the free plan is billed at $0 per workspace forever. Contact [email protected] for questions or security reports.

Platforms

Arrange runs on the web. Plans created without an account remain in browser storage on the device; signing in enables cloud sync on paid Pro and Team plans.

Who it's for

Arrange fits workforce planners who need to model roles, headcount, and costs in one place, particularly when a visual org view and a tabular view both matter. Pro is better suited to a planner who needs sync, recurring scenario work, or imports and version history. Teams that want tracked funding decisions and reviewer controls need Team. It is a weaker fit for buyers that require a service-level commitment or want planning data to flow through integrations beyond Google and Microsoft sign-in.

Pros and cons

Two synchronized planning views: the canvas and grid let users move between organizational structure and tabular work without keeping parallel plans.

Overridable benchmark rates: coverage across 14 roles, 7 levels, and 7 currencies provides a broad starting point while preserving control over estimates.

A clear free entry point: the free plan includes the full canvas and grid, but its one browser-local plan, two-scenario cap, and watermarked exports constrain continued or shared work.

Approval record is gated: funding approvals, comments, conditions, and the decision ledger require the $149 a month Team plan.

No service-level commitment: active development may be acceptable for planning work, but is a concern for operations that depend on a guaranteed level of service.

View-only links are broad: anyone with a link can see plan structure and costs, even though editing controls and other review material are excluded.

Alternatives

Workforce Planning Software is the broader category for comparing options. Consider Workday Adaptive Planning if you want a paid workforce-planning option with a 30-day trial and broader platform coverage across web, mobile, desktop, and API. Bridgit is another paid alternative with Android, iOS, web, and API support and pricing provided on request. HRForecast smartPlan is worth considering for enterprise scenario planning with multiple planning units; pricing is by offer.

Choose Pave Market Data instead if salary benchmarking is the priority: its free Market Data Lite plan covers U.S. and one additional market for startups with 1–200 employees. PeopleCoral OrgStudio may suit buyers seeking a dedicated single-tenant deployment, with a quote based on countries and headcount. Visier People is a paid workforce-planning alternative with a free trial. Nakisa Capital Projects Suite is another paid option, with a tailored demo offered. For an alternative with a published per-employee Starter price, consider Radix Workforce Planning: it starts at ₹100 a month with annual billing and includes core HR, attendance, leave, an ESS mobile app, standard reports, and email support.

Verdict

Choose Arrange if your workforce plan needs to connect org structure, cost scenarios, and funding decisions, and your team can work within its workspace pricing and service terms. Its synchronized canvas and grid make it a focused planning tool, while Pro supplies the imports, sync, and history that support ongoing work. Look elsewhere if a service-level commitment is essential, or if your team needs approvals but cannot justify the $149 a month Team plan.
