ChartHop vs SimpleOrgChart

ChartHop connects people and business data in a web-based organizational model for analytics, planning workflows and AI. Its tools include org charts, employee profiles, map views, data sheets, a company calendar, document storage, people analytics dashboards and Ask ChartHop. Modules cover HRIS, headcount planning, compensation, performance, engagement and goals. ChartHop says it connects with more than 100 HRIS, ATS, CRM and finance systems, including ADP, Greenhouse, Salesforce and Zendesk; its ADP Workforce Now integration supports two-way data sync. AI Pro can create agents that run on a schedule or respond to signals in ChartHop, Slack or Teams. Access Guard applies platform permissions to AI interactions, and ChartHop says organizational data is not shared outside the platform for model training. It also states that data is encrypted at rest and in transit, supports role-based access and SSO, and has completed a SOC 2 Type 2 examination. Listed module prices range from $3.00 to $5 a month, billed annually.

SimpleOrgChart turns Microsoft Entra information read through Microsoft Graph into an interactive web org chart and employee directory. The chart supports panning, zooming, branch expansion and collapse, and keeping selected subtrees hidden. The searchable directory has configurable filters for guest and disabled users. Admin reports cover missing managers, sign-in activity, recent hires, filtered users, missing profile pictures or hire dates, and data quality issues. Charts can be exported as SVG, PNG or PDF snapshots, while reports and chart data can be exported to XLSX. Scheduled email reports can run daily, weekly or monthly through configured SMTP, but this feature is disabled by default. The default setup leaves the chart public and password-protects administrator pages; optional OIDC can require Microsoft sign-in and group membership. Some reports and functions require extra Graph permissions and synced data. The project recommends Docker Compose and does not support local execution outside Docker. It is free open-source software under the MIT License. Deployment requires Docker and an Azure AD/Entra tenant with privileges to create app registrations and grant Graph application permissions.
