Org Chart Studio vs OrgChartBuilder

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.

OrgChartBuilder creates, annotates, and shares organization charts from CSV data in a browser. Its import tool detects columns in HRIS exports and saves mappings for one-click re-imports; documented compatible exports include Workday, BambooHR, HiBob, and Personio, as well as plain spreadsheets. Scenario modelling supports private restructure drafts, side-by-side colour-coded comparisons, and redundancy cost analysis. The service exports multi-page PDFs, SVGs, and CSV data, although SVG export is available on Pro and higher plans. Advanced mode treats vacant roles as chart nodes and supports role sharing and interim appointments. Team and Company plans provide collaborative editing, with one editor at a time and read-only views for others. Org charts are encrypted in the browser using XChaCha20-Poly1305 with Argon2id-derived keys, and the server stores only encrypted bytes. The Free plan supports 200 employees and one user, but encrypted data is deleted after 90 days without login. Pro costs $99 per year and supports 1,000 employees, one user, and unlimited data retention. Team costs $499 per year; Company costs $5999 per year.
