Live cost deltas · Scenario diff badges · Bus-factor warnings · Named versions · Server-enforced salary privacy
Why not just use a diagram?
They make you draw boxes.
We give you answers.
Lucidchart, Visio, and PowerPoint are fine drawing tools. But an org chart isn't a drawing — it's a budget, a risk register, and a set of hard decisions. When the picture is the product, every question — what does this cost? who moved? what breaks if we cut this team? — sends you back to a spreadsheet.
Diagramming tools Lucidchart, Visio, PowerPoint | OrgPlannerPro Org planning, not diagramming | |
|---|---|---|
| Building the chart | Building the chart You draw and align boxes by hand (some tools can import a CSV into a static diagram). | Auto-layout from a roster CSV — your chart appears in minutes and stays beautiful as you drag. |
| Staying accurate | Staying accurate A snapshot — stale the day after you export it. | A live baseline your whole leadership team edits together in real time. |
| What a plan costs | What a plan costs Not a concept — a shape has no salary. | Annual cost, savings vs baseline, cost by team, span of control — recalculated on every drag. |
| What-if planning | What-if planning Duplicate the file and start renaming boxes. | Scenarios layered on the baseline with per-person diff badges, one-click revert, and side-by-side compare with cost deltas. |
| Change history | Change history File versions at best — no idea who moved what, or when. | Every edit recorded with who and when, named versions, non-destructive restore. |
| Risk insight | Risk insight None — it's a picture. | Bus-factor warnings when a plan removes the only expert on a critical function, with a successor picker. |
| Salary privacy | Salary privacy Whoever opens the file sees everything in it. | Server-enforced: non-comp viewers see percentages, never dollars. |

An org chart that knows what it costs, what it risks, and what changed.
Scenario planning
Scenarios, not copies
Your baseline stays true to reality. Every what-if — promotions, moves, backfills, cuts — is a lightweight overlay on top of it, so nothing is duplicated and nothing drifts.
- Per-person diff badges against baseline
- One-click revert on any change
- Side-by-side compare across scenarios
Cost analysis
Cost math that keeps up with your cursor
Every drag re-runs the numbers: total annual cost, savings versus baseline, cost by team and employment type, span of control. You never leave the chart to open a spreadsheet.
- Live savings vs baseline on every edit
- Cost broken down by team
- Span-of-control stats built in
Skills & risk
Find your bus factor before the bus does
Define the functions your org must keep covered and map who's proficient. When a scenario would remove the only expert on billing or incident response, you get warned before the plan ships — with a successor picker to fix it.
- Coverage and redundancy per critical function
- Warnings when a plan creates a single point of failure
- Successor picker to close the gap
Version history
Every change, on the record
Every edit is recorded with who made it and when. Save a named version before the big meeting, browse the full change log, and restore any point in time — restores are non-destructive.
- Full audit trail of who changed what
- Named versions for milestones
- Non-destructive restore to any point
From spreadsheet to decision in an afternoon
Names, titles, managers, comp. Manager references resolve by email or name, and your org chart appears instantly — laid out and legible, no box-dragging.
Drag to re-org. Flag cuts and watch reports bubble up for reassignment. Promote, retitle, add backfills — each scenario side by side with its cost.
Check the skills impact panel: which critical functions lose coverage, whose departure has no successor, where you're one resignation from an outage.
Built for the most sensitive document in the company.
Compensation visibility is a server-enforced permission, not a UI toggle. Hidden salaries never reach the browser — non-comp viewers plan with percentages.
Shared workspaces for your leadership team. Everyone sees edits live, works in the same scenarios, and history shows exactly who changed what.
Every change is revertible, every version restorable. Restores are non-destructive — they're recorded as new changes, so there's always a way back.
Free until it's mission-critical.
Free covers a real team: up to 50 people per plan, 3 scenarios, and 30 days of history. Pro is $29/month with 3 seats included, then $7/seat — unlimited everything.
Questions leaders ask before switching
What is OrgPlannerPro?
OrgPlannerPro is org chart and reorg planning software. It turns a roster CSV into a live, automatically laid-out org chart, then lets you model reorganizations — promotions, moves, backfills, and cuts — as scenarios layered on top of your real org, with live cost analysis, skills coverage warnings, and full version history.
Is OrgPlannerPro a good alternative to Lucidchart or Visio for org charts?
Yes, if your goal is planning rather than drawing. Lucidchart and Visio are general-purpose diagramming tools: they can draw an org chart, but the chart is a static picture with no cost data, no what-if scenarios, no change history, and no risk analysis. OrgPlannerPro builds the chart automatically from your roster and answers planning questions — what a reorg costs, who changed, and what breaks if a role is cut.
How do I create an org chart from a spreadsheet or CSV?
Export your roster as a CSV with names, titles, managers, and optionally compensation, then import it into OrgPlannerPro. Manager references resolve by email or name, and the org chart is laid out automatically — no manual box drawing or aligning. From there the chart stays live as you edit.
Can I model a reorg without changing my real org chart?
Yes. In OrgPlannerPro your real org is a baseline that stays untouched, and every what-if is a scenario layered on top of it. Each scenario shows per-person change badges, its own cost versus baseline, and a side-by-side comparison with your other scenarios — and any change can be reverted with one click.
How does OrgPlannerPro handle salary confidentiality?
Salary visibility in OrgPlannerPro is enforced on the server, not hidden in the interface. Team members without compensation access see percentage-based figures and never receive actual salary values in their browser, while authorized admins see full compensation. This lets a whole leadership team plan together without exposing pay data.
What does the reorg cost analysis include?
OrgPlannerPro recalculates cost on every change: total annual cost, savings or increase versus your baseline org, cost broken down by team and employment type, and span of control. Scenarios can be compared side by side so you can see the financial impact of each plan before committing.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. OrgPlannerPro's free plan includes up to 50 people per plan, 3 scenarios, 3 plans per workspace, and 30 days of version history, with no credit card required. The Pro plan is $29 per month with 3 seats included (then $7 per additional seat) and removes all limits.
Who is OrgPlannerPro for?
OrgPlannerPro is built for managers, executives, HR and people-ops teams, and finance partners who plan organizational changes — reorgs, growth planning, budget cuts, and succession. It replaces the usual combination of a diagramming tool for the chart and a spreadsheet for the math.
Your org is your biggest line item. Plan it like one.
Import your roster, drag your first scenario, and know what it costs — before the meeting where you have to defend it.
