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.

Whimsical
Diagrams where viewers cost nothing
Whimsical draws flowcharts, wireframes, mind maps and sticky-note boards in one file type rather than four applications, and it opts for speed over precision: shapes snap, connectors route themselves, and a diagram is finished before a general drawing tool has been configured. Only editors are billed, and viewers are free on every tier including the free one. Guests, team count and file size are what separate the plans. Anybody wanting pixel-exact control over a diagram will find the automatic routing gets in the way.
