Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.0
GPA, above 30 of the 63 other HR software we grade
ChartHop is a people-operations platform that keeps employee data in one place and builds org charts, headcount planning, performance, goals, compensation and engagement modules on top, with an HRIS option. Pricing is a proposal sized to the team, requested through a short form.
To get you started, here are 7 things to know about ChartHop, taken from its own pages and our grades.
No price is published: the pricing page is a three-question form that leads to a proposal.

The report card
Best for org charts and headcount planning
ChartHop is built around org charts and people data, with headcount planning, performance, compensation and engagement on top. No price is published: the pricing page is a three-question form that leads to a proposal. And since it is a core platform plus modules, the cost depends on what you add.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | No price is published; the pricing page is a form that leads to a proposal, and the cost depends on the modules. |
| Free plan and trial | F | No free plan and no trial is on record in the listing or on its pricing page. |
| Features | B | Org charts, headcount planning, performance and goals, compensation, engagement and an HRIS. The listing names no gap in its own job. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. An org chart and planning tool needs data loaded in from your HR and payroll systems first. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web and iOS apps, with an integrations page (5 on record). The iOS app is a directory app, and no Android app was confirmed. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who ChartHop is for
- 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
Who it is not for
- 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
Good to know
Good for
- People and finance teams planning headcount together
- Companies that already have an HRIS and payroll and want planning on top
- HR teams that want org charts and reports built from live data
Worth knowing
- No prices are published; the pricing page is a three-question form that leads to a proposal.
- It is sold as a core platform plus modules, so cost depends on which modules you add.
- The mobile app named on the site is a directory app on the App Store; no Android app was confirmed.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
The plain part of ChartHop you could make: employee records, reports, goals and surveys. What surrounds it you could not. The 5 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
What you could make
- Employee records, reports, goals and surveys: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Connections that pull numbers from dozens of other services.
- A real app for iOS. Something home-made would be a web page.
- It plugs into other products, ADP Workforce Now, BambooHR and Greenhouse among them.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. ChartHop’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
