Orgonaut vs Sift

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.

Sift helps organizations find colleagues, map reporting relationships, and understand how work is distributed. Its searchable people directory filters profile data by skills, roles, and other information. An automatically updated org chart uses company people data to show formal and informal reporting lines. Profiles can include skills, experience, projects, interests, pronouns, name pronunciation, and languages. Sift aggregates employee data from multiple systems into one profile, using prebuilt identity connectors and SFTP workflows. Listed integrations include Workday, UKG, Microsoft Entra ID, Google Workspace, Okta, Ping Identity, CSV files, Microsoft Teams, and Slack. Access is available in browsers, Windows and Mac desktop downloads, and iOS and Android apps, as well as through an API. Sift says customer data is encrypted at rest and in transit, segmented between customers, and regularly tested by third parties for penetration vulnerabilities. It also says it completed a SOC 2 Type 2 audit and is GDPR compliant. Plans start at $150 a month, billed annually, for 20 users; a 14-day trial provides access to Sift Complete. Sift does not offer native messaging or chat.
