Workleap Pingboard

Workleap Pingboard is a cloud-based org chart and employee directory in Workleap’s employee experience suite. It helps organizations visualize reporting structures, departments, cross-functional teams, and employee relationships for collaboration and resource planning. Employee profiles can help colleagues find coworkers by role, interests, and skills. Users can also create private planning org charts for workforce scenarios and invite others to comment. Employee data can be added through automated HRIS integrations or an Excel upload. Listed connections include BambooHR, HiBob, Workday, ADP Workforce Now, and UKG Pro; Workleap can send notifications through Slack and Teams. The product is available on Android, iOS, and the web, with API access also listed. A free plan is available. Standard starts at $4,999 USD per year, billed annually, while Pro starts at $11,999 USD per year, billed annually. Enterprise pricing is custom and requires contacting Workleap.

Pingboard combines org charts, employee profiles, and private workforce-planning charts. The free plan is an option, while paid plans begin at an annual price.

Pingboard is suited to organizations mapping teams and employee relationships, including growing businesses with small or generalist HR teams. HR leaders, managers, and executives are also among its intended audiences.

Overview

Workleap Pingboard is an employee directory and org-chart tool for organizations that want a shared view of roles, reporting lines, and team relationships. It is best suited to HR teams, managers, and executives who also need to discuss possible workforce structures. Its broad mix of directory and planning features is useful, but its annual paid entry point makes it a costly fit for smaller teams seeking only a simple chart.

Key features

Charts, directory, and profiles

Dynamic org charts can map reporting lines, departments, and cross-functional teams. The employee directory and custom profiles add context about what colleagues do and their skills or interests, so Pingboard can help employees locate the right person as well as understand the hierarchy. Custom employee fields allow organizations to shape profiles around their needs; those fields are most useful when employee data is kept current.

Private workforce planning

Private planning charts let users sketch workforce scenarios separately from the organization’s current structure, then invite others to comment. This is a practical way for HR and managers to discuss proposed changes without treating them as settled. It is a focused chart-based planning feature rather than a reason to choose Pingboard for broader workforce planning alone.

Data, integrations, and support

Employee data can be imported from Excel or connected through HRIS integrations, including BambooHR, HiBob, Workday, ADP Workforce Now, and UKG Pro. Directory sync and CSV import are supported. Workleap can also send notifications through Slack and Teams. These links can help reduce duplicate upkeep for organizations using supported systems, though their usefulness depends on that existing setup.

Workleap says it is dedicated to protecting customer and employee data, and provides a security trust center. Tier capabilities include AI and email support, personalized onboarding, a dedicated customer success manager, and priority support. These are relevant considerations for teams that need help adopting the product, but the specific capabilities vary by plan.

Pricing

Pingboard is freemium, with a free plan and paid plans starting at $4,999 USD per year. Standard starts at $4,999 USD per year, billed annually, and includes an org chart, people directory, and SSO. It is the lower paid option for organizations that want those core tools, but the substantial annual commitment may be difficult to justify for a small team with modest charting needs.

Pro starts at $11,999 USD per year, billed annually. It includes everything in Standard plus advanced security, API access, and SAML SSO. The higher price is most relevant to organizations that need those added controls or API access; teams that do not need them may find Standard a more proportionate paid plan.

Enterprise uses custom pricing and is positioned for organizations with more than 250 employees; Workleap asks customers to contact it for plan and feature details.

Platforms

Pingboard supports Android, iOS, and web access, along with an API. The combination suits organizations whose staff need to access the directory across mobile and desktop, while API access is included in Pro rather than Standard.

Who it's for

Workleap describes its talent-management tools as suited to growing businesses with small or generalist HR teams, as well as HR leaders, managers, and executives. Pingboard is a stronger fit when those users need one place for organization charts, colleague profiles, and private structure discussions. It is less compelling for buyers who only need a low-cost standalone chart, particularly given the annual starting price of the paid plans.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Dynamic charts cover reporting lines, departments, and cross-functional teams, while profiles and a directory help colleagues find people and understand their roles.
• Pros: Private planning charts with comments give HR and managers a way to discuss workforce scenarios apart from the current organization chart.
• Pros: Excel import and integrations with named HRIS platforms can support employee-data upkeep, and notifications can flow through Slack and Teams.
• Cons: Paid plans start at $4,999 USD per year billed annually, a meaningful commitment for organizations that need only basic charting.
• Cons: API access and advanced security are Pro additions, so teams that need them face a substantial jump from Standard.

Alternatives

Org Chart Software and Employee Directory Software are useful starting points for comparing products by category. Consider Sift if its paid offering and free trial better suit your buying process; its listed platforms include Android, iOS, MacOS, web, and Windows.

Org Chart Studio is worth considering when a free web chart for up to 250 people or a $1.00 one-time clean export is a better fit. Maptio is an alternative for teams that want open-source software they can examine, use, modify, and distribute, including a self-hosted option. orgchart.live may suit buyers seeking a free web option with unlimited people and charts, spreadsheet/CSV/Excel import, and live editing.

OrgChartBuilder offers a free plan for up to 200 employees and one user, with 90-day inactivity retention, or a Pro plan at $99.00 per year. OrgNice may be preferable for a web-based workflow with a Google Sheets connection and sharing or embedding on its Standard plan, priced at $20.00 per month billed annually. Our Org Chart offers a free web plan with CSV import and export and PNG export. The Org is another freemium option, with its free plan offering limited organization views, one seat per account, and 10 credits per seat per month.

Verdict

Choose Workleap Pingboard if your organization needs a directory and profiles alongside current and private planning charts, and supported HRIS connections can help keep employee data aligned. Its chief advantage is bringing those related needs together; its chief drawback is the $4,999 USD annual starting price, with API access and advanced security reserved for the $11,999 USD Pro plan. Teams seeking only a basic, low-cost chart should look elsewhere.
