Shaded rows are where the two answers disagree and both listings have answered. A row where one side has not stated a fact is left plain, because silence is not a difference.
Infogram
Charts and infographics tied to live data
Infogram builds charts, maps and infographics that stay connected to the data behind them, so a published graphic changes when the sheet it reads from does. Embeds behave in most content systems. The free Basic plan publishes publicly, and paying is mostly about private projects, downloads and taking the branding off.
Our note
The live data connection is the feature worth paying for, because it turns a graphic into something you do not have to remake each month. For a single static chart, Canva or a spreadsheet will get you there faster.

The Noun Project
Icons on a licence that never expires
The Noun Project sells icons and photos on a royalty-free worldwide licence that the page says never expires, which is the part that matters for work shipped once and left alone for years. Contributors are paid from subscriptions, and the library is moderated rather than open, so quality is more even than an open marketplace. Plugins for Figma, Adobe and Office plus a Mac application mean an icon can be dropped in without a download step. A single icon can be bought outright for those who need one thing and not a subscription.
