Best org chart software

PeopleMuster ranks first on this method: its org chart draws itself from each person's reporting line, and the chart, the directory and every other HR module cost $3 per person a month. Deel and ChartHop follow from $5 per employee. Organimi and Lucidchart price the chart on its own.

How this was judged

Ranked on the per-person monthly price of an org chart together with the people record it is drawn from, for a company of about 30.

Five products were compared on 24 September 2026, each price read from the vendor's own pricing page that day. A chart goes stale when someone has to redraw it, so the ranking first asks whether the price includes the employee record behind the chart, then compares the per-person figure. Tools that price the chart alone, per organisation or per editor, come after the ones that include the record. Disclosure: PeopleMuster is our product, and it sits where the method puts it.

The ranking

PeopleMuster

$3 per person a month, every module included, the org chart and directory among them. $30 per person a year on annual billing.

Who it suits: A company that changes teams often and wants the chart to follow the HR record, with no one redrawing boxes.
Where it wins: Set who each person reports to once, and the chart follows. You can view it top-down, horizontal or compact, group it by department, see direct-report counts on every box and export it. The same record feeds the team directory, with department, role, reporting line and presence.

Deel

HR Core from $5 per employee a month. Verified September 2026.

Who it suits: A company with staff in several countries that wants the chart inside its global HR account.
Where it wins: HR Core lists worker profiles and an org chart in the same product.
Where it falls short: The $5 is a starting price, and Deel's other products are bought separately.

ChartHop

Core $5 per employee a month. HRIS, Headcount, Compensation and Performance modules $4 each, Engagement and Goals $3 each. Enterprise custom. Verified 24 September 2026.

Who it suits: A growing company that plans headcount on the chart and will add modules as it goes.
Where it wins: Every module has a published per-employee price, so you can build the bill yourself.
Where it falls short: The HRIS is a $4 module on top of the $5 Core, so the record behind the chart is a second line.

Organimi

Basic $13 a month, Premium $25 a month, charged annually, per organisation. Enterprise on quote. Verified 24 September 2026.

Who it suits: A company that wants a dedicated chart tool at one flat price, apart from its HR system.
Where it wins: A flat price for the whole organisation and a trial with no card.
Where it falls short: The price covers the chart, and the people record it shows lives in another system.

Lucidchart

Free for 3 documents. Individual $9 a month and Team $10 per user a month, both billed yearly. Enterprise on request. Verified 24 September 2026.

Who it suits: A team that already draws diagrams in Lucidchart and wants the org chart beside them.
Where it wins: Lucid says you can build dynamic org charts to show people and workloads, and there's a free tier.
Where it falls short: A diagram tool priced per editor, with the employee data held somewhere else.

Questions people ask

What is the best org chart software for a small company?

For a company of about 30, PeopleMuster ranks first here at $3 per person a month, because the chart comes from the HR record and costs nothing on top. Deel and ChartHop follow from $5 per employee. Organimi's Basic plan is $13 a month per organisation, charged annually.

How do I keep an org chart up to date automatically?

Draw the chart from the reporting line on each employee's record, never by hand. In PeopleMuster you set who each person reports to, and the chart redraws itself when that changes. A new starter lands under their manager as soon as their record has one, and a team move shows up the moment the line changes.

Can I export an org chart from PeopleMuster?

Yes. The PeopleMuster org chart has its own export. You can view it top-down, horizontal or compact, group it by department, and every box shows how many people report to it.
