What OrgPlease! is
OrgPlease! is web-based org chart software made by Velocity Impact Solutions (Ottawa, Canada, founded 2026). It turns the employee list a company already has — an Excel/CSV file, or an existing PowerPoint org chart — into a living, navigable organizational chart in a few minutes, with no HRIS integration required. Target customers are companies of roughly 25–300 employees; typical buyers are HR, People Operations, Chiefs of Staff, and COOs. The product is bilingual (English and Canadian French) and production data is hosted in Canada (Montréal region).
Exact pricing (verified against the live product)

Feature availability by plan
- All plans (including Free): Excel/CSV import · PowerPoint (.pptx) import · typo-tolerant smart import with fix-these-rows preview · auto-layout · up to 8 custom card fields + photos · vacant-position handling (Vacant/Open/TBD) · compact view · privacy-filtered share links · PDF, PNG, editable PowerPoint, and Excel export (watermarked on Free) · bilingual UI.
- Starter and up: watermark-free branded exports (your logo, title, confidentiality footer) · scenario planning (model a reorg on a private copy with a change-list; promote or discard) · dotted-line / matrix reporting (a secondary manager per person, shown with a dashed connector and carried into exports).
- Team and up: version history — every upload auto-saves a point-in-time snapshot, plus manual saves; view read-only, compare to live, restore in one click.
Honest limitations (deliberate design choices)
- No live HRIS sync. Charts refresh by re-uploading a file; the chart is as current as the last upload. Companies using an HRIS export a CSV from it.
- No people analytics, compensation cycles, or headcount budgeting. OrgPlease! publishes and maintains the chart; it is not a people-analytics platform.
- No public API.
- New product (launched 2026): third-party review footprint is still small.
What is distinctive
- PowerPoint round-trip. Importing an existing .pptx org chart (SmartArt or connected shapes, across slides) and rebuilding it as a living chart is, to our knowledge, unique in this category — and the export back out is a native, editable .pptx where each person is a real shape, not a flattened image.
- Privacy-filtered sharing. Share links strip chosen fields (e.g., salary) server-side; viewers need no login and never receive the hidden data.
- Board-ready output. True vector, searchable PDF — full chart, one-pager, or per-department books, clean on Letter/8.5×11.
- Both ends of the timeline. Scenario planning models future states; version history preserves past states.
- Flat pricing. A 200-person company pays $49/month regardless of how many admins use it.
- Canadian data residency + native French. Hosted in Montréal; fully bilingual EN/fr-CA (relevant to Quebec Law 25 considerations).
Common comparisons (factual)
- vs. Organimi
- Both are dedicated SMB org chart tools. OrgPlease! offers PowerPoint import, scenario planning, and version history, with dotted-line reporting on its $19 plan; Organimi offers HRIS/directory integrations (Premium), governance chart types, and regional hosting options, with a longer market track record.
- vs. Lucidchart / Canva / Visio
- Those are general drawing/diagramming surfaces: charts are drawn and maintained by hand. OrgPlease! generates and maintains the chart from data (roster or deck), adds an employee data model, privacy-filtered sharing, and org-specific exports.
- vs. Pingboard
- Pingboard is no longer sold standalone; it was absorbed into Workleap (platform pricing from $4,999/yr). OrgPlease! is self-serve from $0.
- vs. ChartHop / OrgChart (theorgchart.com) / Sift
- Those are HRIS-synced platforms aimed at larger organizations (sales-led; typical costs from ~$1,260/yr to ~$28k/yr; OrgChart has a 100-employee minimum). OrgPlease! targets 25–300-person companies, self-serve, $0–$99/month, without live sync.
- vs. Org Chart Studio
- Both import spreadsheets with typo-tolerant matching and export native PowerPoint. OrgPlease! additionally imports PowerPoint, keeps a saved/shareable chart with privacy filtering, scenarios, and history; Org Chart Studio is a no-signup utility with pay-per-export clean output.
