Which one is for you
Pick ChartHop if
- Fits if you plan headcount and compensation and want it drawn as an org chart
- Works for HR teams that already have a payroll system to feed it
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want a price before talking to sales, as none is published
- Watch out: it is a core platform plus modules, so the bill depends on what you add
- Tight if you need an Android app, which was not confirmed
- Skip it if you want a free plan or trial, as none is listed
Pick Humaans if
- Fits if you have staff in several countries and a payroll provider in each
- Works for teams that want HR records feeding Slack, Okta and their hiring tool
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want a price or a trial without a sales call
- Not for you if your staff want an app-store app, as the mobile version runs in a phone's browser
- Pricey if you want reviews, headcount planning or the AI companion, as each is an add-on
- Skip it if you want payroll run for you, as it only prepares changes for outside providers
- Watch out: the Athena AI agents are a separate product, also sold through sales
How we grade them
| 2.0GPAChartHopFair | 2.0GPAHumaansFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CNo price is published; the pricing page is a form that leads to a proposal, and the cost depends on the modules. | CNo price is published: Growth, Enterprise and the Athena agents are all sold through sales, and VC-backed firms can get a partner rate. So we can't say what a ten-person company pays, and with no figure to compare, it's a C. |
| Free plan and trial | FNo free plan and no trial is on record in the listing or on its pricing page. | FNo free plan and no trial on record. You go through sales. |
| Features | BOrg charts, headcount planning, performance and goals, compensation, engagement and an HRIS. The listing names no gap in its own job. | BA people directory, documents, an org chart, time off, timesheets, onboarding and approval workflows, and pay changes tracked and exported for payroll. That covers the HR record, though reviews are an add-on and it doesn't run payroll itself. |
| Ease of use | CNo store rating on record. An org chart and planning tool needs data loaded in from your HR and payroll systems first. | CNo App Store rating on record, and wiring it to your payroll providers and other tools is part of the setup. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb and iOS apps, with an integrations page (5 on record). The iOS app is a directory app, and no Android app was confirmed. | BWeb only, with Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Slack, Okta, Docusign, Lattice, Ashby and Greenhouse, plus an API and webhooks. No phone app, only the browser. |

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
