orgchart.live vs Orgonaut

orgchart.live turns spreadsheets, pasted rows, PDFs and screenshots into organizational charts in a web browser. Its layout engine redraws charts as people move, aiming to limit overlaps and crossed lines. Shared links let people view a live chart with cursors; viewing needs no account, while editing requires sign-in. CSV and Excel files are parsed in the browser without sending the original spreadsheet file to the service. PDF and screenshot imports use model-based extraction, and the import dialog indicates this before selection. The pricing page lists PNG, PDF, SVG and editable PowerPoint exports; free PNG exports include a footer line. The Free plan is free and includes unlimited people and charts, spreadsheet import, live editing and PNG export. A 3-day pass is 4.99 USD once; Pro is $49 a year, and Business is $199 a year. Business adds sync with listed HR systems and directories. The web service is made by Hivetivity, which lists Atlanta, Georgia as its location.

Orgonaut is a web and API platform for modelling an organisation’s current structure and planning possible changes in a shared model. Users can copy a Live baseline into a scenario, compare structural, cost, FTE, and velocity changes, then promote an approved scenario. The model includes people, contractors, AI agents, robots, teams, departments, positions, placements, allocations, and compensation. Interactive org-chart and matrix views support editing. Astro, the AI assistant, answers questions about structure, allocations, and cost and prepares scenario changes for review. Organisational data can be entered manually, imported by structured CSV with quarantine and review, or synced from BambooHR or Dynamics 365 HR; Deel is listed as coming soon. Developer access includes a tenant-scoped REST API, CLI, and remote MCP server. Team costs €199 a month for up to 75 actors and three active scenarios; Business costs €499 a month for up to 250 actors and ten. A 14-day trial is available, with no free plan.
