An Organimi alternative with no boxes to drag
StaffOrgChart is an org chart maker for companies of 10 to 100 people. You type the list; the chart lays itself out.
The short version
Organimi is a dedicated org chart editor for managers and HR. StaffOrgChart is built for the owner or office manager who wants a clean chart without learning a drawing tool. You list each person, their title and who they report to, and the layout is automatic. Change someone’s manager and the chart redraws.

Why people look for an alternative
- Dragging on a big chart is slow. Reviewers mention that moving one person on a large chart is fiddly because the view does not scroll while dragging. In StaffOrgChart you change the “Reports to” field and the chart redraws.
- Exporting one department. A finance lead wanted to print just their department and couldn’t. StaffOrgChart has a Show menu on the chart for exactly that.
- The logo surprise. Some users found out late that removing the logo costs money. Our free mark is a single line on the share link, it is not on your downloads, and we say so up front.
- Which plan do I need? Licensing can be confusing. StaffOrgChart has two plans and one price that does not change with headcount.
When Organimi may suit you better
If you want to arrange boxes by hand, need photos on the chart, or have a chart larger than 300 people, a full editor like Organimi is the better fit. StaffOrgChart is deliberately small: a list in, a clean chart out.
