Running the business
Infogram's free Basic plan publishes charts and infographics publicly for nothing, with paid tiers from $19 a month billed yearly adding private projects, downloads and analytics. Visme's free plan allows unlimited projects with a limited template and asset selection, then $12.25 a month billed annually for unlimited storage and the full asset library. The axis is what stays live: Infogram's charts update automatically when the source data changes, which is the one feature Visme's listing does not describe in the same way.

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.

Design work that has to carry data
Visme is the design tool for the things with numbers in them: infographics, reports, decks and the charts inside them. Templates come with the data widgets already wired, so a chart is edited rather than drawn. That focus is what separates it from the general graphics tools, and it is also why a simple thumbnail is quicker somewhere else.
Choose Infogram if a graphic needs to update itself when the spreadsheet behind it changes, since that live connection is the actual product and it survives publishing to most content systems. The free Basic plan is enough for a blog that publishes publicly; private projects, downloads and branding removal need at least the $19 a month tier.
Choose Visme if the work is reports, decks and infographics that carry a lot of data rather than a single live chart, since templates arrive with data widgets already wired and presentations share the same editor. It is cheaper to start, $12.25 a month billed annually against Infogram's $19, with unlimited projects on the free plan, though month-to-month costs more than the annual figures shown.

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.
Our note
Visme wins when the graphic has to carry information rather than attention. Venngage overlaps heavily and is cheaper at the entry level, so compare the two on which template library fits your subject.
