Maptio vs Org Chart Studio

Maptio is a tool for visualising how an organisation or initiative is organised and sharing that view. Users can map areas of responsibility, teams, projects, and people's roles in nested circles, showing who leads or supports work and who collaborates with whom. The Learning Hub covers creating and editing circles, tags, adding and inviting people, and working with roles. Maps can be shared privately, published at a public URL, or embedded in another website. Users can also link to external documents and resources. Maptio is presented for organisations and coaches; coaches can request an account to map multiple client organisations without a separate subscription for each. Its code is open source and can be examined, used, modified, distributed, and contributed to. The self-hosted option requires users to install and run an instance and handle setup, support, and maintenance. Maptio Standard costs $10 a month for the whole organisation, up to 300 people, and includes unlimited maps, hosted access, and human-powered tech support. A 30-day trial is listed.

Org Chart Studio is a web application for creating, updating, and sharing organizational charts. It imports Excel, CSV, and Google Sheets data, and its import intelligence can flag missing managers and correct some naming errors. Once imported, a chart can be edited in a spreadsheet-like table or through drag-and-drop on the desktop visual canvas. Users can select a theme or adjust chart colors, cards, and connectors, then export to PowerPoint, PDF, PNG, or CSV. PowerPoint exports use native shapes and text. The tool also supports MCP connections for AI agents such as ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini to build and edit charts. Its free tier allows up to 10 charts with up to 2,500 people per chart, while free watermarked PNG exports are limited to charts of up to 250 people. Clean-export access is sold as one-time passes: $1.00 USD for one day, $5.00 USD for seven days, $10.00 USD for 30 days, or $100.00 USD for a year. Each pass covers all charts in the account and is sized by the largest chart. The privacy policy says chart data is encrypted in transit and at rest.
