TeamOhana is built for operational headcount management: connecting Finance, Talent, and budget owners around approved positions, recruiting activity, and system reconciliation. Teams usually look for alternatives when the contract size does not match their stage, when they need to model and decide plans before operating them, or when they want to try a product without a sales process. This page compares the credible options by the job each is built for.
TeamOhana's public pricing starts at $15,000 per year for Essentials and $30,000 per year for Professional, each covering up to 250 employees, with scenario planning listed as a Professional add-on. That is a platform commitment: appropriate when reconciliation across ATS, HRIS, and Finance systems is the daily job, and heavy when the immediate need is to shape a plan and get it approved.
The category also splits by moment. TeamOhana is strongest after approval, keeping what was decided consistent with what is happening in recruiting and employee systems. Before approval, when leaders are weighing structure, timing, and funding trade-offs, a planning-first surface that computes scenarios is the more direct tool, and the two can coexist across that boundary.
Each product here can carry a headcount planning job from a different starting point: a costed planning canvas, a people operations platform, a dedicated org chart tool, a general diagramming tool, and an enterprise FP&A suite. Pricing claims come from each vendor's public pages, with the checked date stated where a number is quoted. Arrange builds this site, and the entry for it says so.
Arrange is a planning canvas where the org chart and the budget are the same object. Teams, positions, and vendor spend are costed objects with effective dates; scenarios are live branches with computed differences; and funding requests carry checks, conditions, and an approval record. Arrange makes this list, so judge it with that in mind. The product is built for the planning moment: shaping a future organization and getting it funded, before HRIS integrations enter the picture.
ChartHop is a people operations platform built around connected employee data, org visualization, analytics, and HR workflows, with headcount planning available as an add-on module. It is the strongest option here for HR teams that want one platform over the whole employee data stack, and it becomes more valuable as more systems are connected.
Organimi is a dedicated org chart tool for building, maintaining, and sharing organization charts from imported people data. It sits between general diagramming and full people platforms: more org-aware than a drawing tool, lighter than an HR operations suite. It centers the current organization rather than costed future scenarios.
Lucidchart is a general diagramming platform with org chart templates among many other diagram types. It is the strongest choice on this list for flexible visual communication: custom notation, process maps, and architecture diagrams alongside org charts. The trade-off is that boxes are generic shapes, so costs, scenarios, and approvals must be maintained somewhere else.
Workday Adaptive Planning is an enterprise planning suite in which workforce planning is one module beside financial and operational planning. It is the heaviest option on this list: strong for finance teams standardizing company-wide planning models, with implementation and configuration to match. Organization structure is one input among many rather than the primary working surface.
Arrange is built for that moment: drawing a proposed organization, pricing it against benchmark or company rates, branching scenarios, and submitting a funding request with checks and an approval record. TeamOhana is strongest after approval, when positions must reconcile with recruiting and employee systems.
Yes. Arrange offers one free local plan without a card and workspace pricing with published launch targets of $29 and $149 per month. Organimi and Lucidchart also offer self-serve plans at chart-tool prices.
Yes, across the approval boundary. A planning tool defines and prices what should happen and records the decision. A headcount operations platform tracks what does happen. The clean interface between them is an approved position and its funding context.
