🌳 Orgtree
Build and maintain your org chart without a seat-priced diagram tool.
Lucidchart charges $7.95/month per editor just to keep an org chart current — and most companies only touch it a handful of times a year. Orgtree imports your team list from a spreadsheet, auto-lays it out, and lets you drag to reassign reporting lines, for $19 once with no seats to manage.

Honest answers
Is it really free on GitHub?
Yes — MIT source at github.com/bensblueprints/org-chart-builder. The $19 buys the packaged installer and updates.
Does everyone who edits it need their own license?
No — one license covers the app on however many of your own machines you install it on; there's no per-editor seat like Lucidchart.
Can I import from Excel or Google Sheets?
Yes — export either to CSV and Orgtree will parse name/title/manager columns automatically.
Does it sync across a team in real time?
No — that's the honest trade-off. Orgtree is a local-first tool; if live multi-editor collaboration is the priority, Lucidchart's cloud sync is genuinely the better fit.
What export formats does it support?
PDF for printing and PNG for slides or docs, both in one click from the toolbar.
