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.

Infographics and reports from templates
Piktochart turns a report or a set of figures into something a person will actually read: an infographic, a one-page summary, a poster for a wall. Templates handle the layout and the editor keeps you inside them, which is the point for anybody who does not design for a living. There is a free plan, and the paid ones are priced per member.
Our note
Piktochart is narrower than Canva and better at the one thing it does, which is making a long document of numbers look deliberate. Choose Infogram instead if the charts need to stay tied to their data.
