OrgOrg vs Trotto · Open-source go links
Free for teams of up to 5. Every app, no feature gates, no credit card. Past 5 people, Pro is $10 per member per month.
Trotto is an open-source go-links tool with a browser-extension-first delivery model and a self-hostable backend. OrgOrg ships Go Links as a managed app inside the OrgOrg bundle, alongside profiles, org chart, on-call, recognition, and more. This page lays out the honest tradeoffs.
When OrgOrg is the right pick
Teams that want go links bundled with their broader internal-tools suite (profiles, org chart, on-call, recognition), prefer a managed product, or need features beyond browser-extension resolution: preview mode, country-specific routing, and tight integration with the people directory.
When Trotto is the right pick
Teams that want the simplest, cheapest possible go-links setup or want to self-host the entire stack. Trotto is a good pick when a single team wants browser-based go links without bundling, when open-source and a free tier are required, or when an engineering team is happy to run the backend themselves.
Where OrgOrg wins
- Go Links is one app inside the OrgOrg bundle: profiles, org chart, on-call, recognition, screen recorder all included at one flat price.
- Preview mode: append + to any go link to inspect the destination without redirecting.
- Country-specific routing on the same go link.
- Built-in usage analytics surface, not just admin reporting.
- Tight integration with the people directory: go links can resolve to profiles, teams, or managers.
Where Trotto wins
- Open source: fully self-hostable from github.com/trotto/go-links.
- Generous free tier for small teams.
- Lightweight browser extension that works in Chrome, Edge, and other Chromium browsers.
- Slack app with /point command for creating go links from chat.
- SOC2 Type 2 compliance on the hosted service.

- Free plan: Trotto gives a bigger free tier than OrgOrg on seat count. Team is $3 per user a month, and adds unlimited go links, analytics, and admin features.
- Slack integration: Trotto's Slack app is one-way: a /point command for creating new go links from chat. It doesn't resolve or unfurl existing go links in messages. OrgOrg's native Slack app does both: create links and unfurl go/<name> references with destination and owner.
- Open source / self-hostable: Trotto's backend and browser extension are open-source on GitHub. OrgOrg is a managed product.
