Sprooster vs Sift
Sift and Sprooster both generate the org chart from your directory instead of asking anyone to draw it. Sift is the deeper people-search product, with Workday and UKG sync and plans from $150 a month for 20 or more people. Sprooster is the lighter org chart, flat-priced and free up to 25 people.

What is Sift?
Sift is a people-search product that builds an org chart and a searchable directory from your existing systems. It syncs from Workday, UKG, Microsoft Entra ID, Google Workspace, Okta, Ping Identity, or a CSV, and sells three plans: Org Chart, Directory, and Complete, with an enterprise track above 1,000 employees. The details in this comparison were checked against Sift's own site on the date above.

When is Sift the better choice?
- Your HRIS is Workday or UKG. Sift syncs both. Sprooster does not today; the closest path here is a CSV export.
- People search is the product you actually want. Sift's center of gravity is finding people by skill, team, and custom profile fields at scale. Sprooster has search and profiles, and the chart is still the main event.
- You want the chart inside Microsoft Teams now. Sift ships a Teams app today.
- You are north of 1,000 employees with a procurement checklist. Sift has been selling security reviews and SLAs at that end of the market longer.
When does Sprooster win?
- The math below a few hundred people. Sift's cheapest plan is $150 a month with a 20-user minimum, which is $1,800 a year before anyone extra logs in. Sprooster is free up to 25 people and $99 a month up to 100.
- Everyone is in, nobody is a seat. Sift charges by who can log in, so access becomes a purchasing decision. Sprooster plans are priced by synced headcount, and every synced person can use it on every plan.
- A flat bill. Growth changes your Sprooster price only when you cross a plan line, and the pricing page shows every line there is.
- The chart can leave as a file. Sprooster exports the live chart as an editable Visio drawing when a deck or a designed graphic needs it. See Sprooster vs PowerPoint and Visio for that workflow.
How hard is the switch?
About 15 minutes: connect Entra ID, Google Workspace, or BambooHR source, or upload a CSV export from any HR system. Nothing is written back to your systems, and the chart draws itself from the manager fields you already maintain. Pricing is flat by headcount, free up to 25 people.
