Datawrapper: Create charts, maps, and tables

One of the best SaaS websites I've seen. Lets you play with the tool as much as you want without signing up and the business model is totally aimed at businesses with a very generous free tier. Chart tools seem very powerful as well.

Awesome to see this here! I’m one of the co-founders, open for any questions.<p>We’re also always looking for developers to join our team (Berlin-based, remote welcome, 4d week possible) - email me david@datawrapper for details.

I know d3 and ggplot2, but Datawrapper is my goto when I want Excel-like convenience for bespoke, detailed viz. It’s completely free for individual use, and I’m happy to see that the charts and maps I made while teaching students about interactive data viz work just as well as they did the 5+ years ago.<p>The variety of built-in shapefiles (international, US counties) — with the ability to upload your own custom shapefiles to quickly create interactive maps — is a killer feature on its own

I discovered datawrapper 2 months ago while looking at internet speeds vs age due to an unconvincing reddit debate [1] : I really liked it. Data presentation on the internet always frustrates me, because it usually is just a picture, or worse, a video. No interaction, no mouseover to check details.<p>Datawrapper covered all of that, I really like that.<p>[1] If you are interested: The argument was that older populations are the main factor of slow internet. No data was provided during the discussion. As I found that unconvincing I investigated based on easily accessible but skewed data. The result:<p>OECD countries only (english): <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;datawrapper.dwcdn.net&#x2F;YTBQ2&#x2F;1&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;datawrapper.dwcdn.net&#x2F;YTBQ2&#x2F;1&#x2F;</a><p>World (german, as it was the german subreddit): <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;datawrapper.dwcdn.net&#x2F;Ps2UG&#x2F;1&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;datawrapper.dwcdn.net&#x2F;Ps2UG&#x2F;1&#x2F;</a>

Can someone summarize how this compares to Plotly and ChartStudio? Also flexible and easy for non-programmers to master. And open sourse.

Finally checked this out - really, REALLY great site. I put it aside for so long because I rarely have use for these things over Excel, ggplot, or GSheets, but this is a great product with a solid niche. We&#x27;ll definitely be using the free version and eyeing the premium tier later this year.<p>Hats off to you.

A relatively simple tech that everyone can build for a very generic use; yet, once you actually see it, you realize none of the chart making tools you have worked with are as straightforward. I wish I could think simple like this.

This is what they used for The Spectator&#x27;s (UK Political Magazine) excellent Covid Dashboards, where i first heard of it<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;data.spectator.co.uk&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;data.spectator.co.uk&#x2F;</a>

Very appealing. Heavy price tag though for small and medium projects that are not focused solely on charting. Can someone recommend a product or service somewhere in between Datawrapper and D3 convenience wise?<p>Edit: I realize there’s a very generous free plan, but for real client projects white label is unfortunately often a must.

I&#x27;ve tried it with a relatively simple CSV but it&#x27;s struggling to parse dates, generating meaningful reports, etc. The UX for choosing which columns to include is cumbersome when you have more than a handful. I&#x27;ve cut down the CSV from 50MB+ to 6MB and it&#x27;s still so slow.

Being able to try it without signup is such an underrated feature. Thank you for that!

I really like the &quot;Connect to Google Sheet&quot; option. Did you have to implement a Google Workspace plugin for that functionality?

Is this just a form builder for D3?

Custom plan: $599&#x2F;mo. Really ? Eject!<p>There are thousands of open source apps that do this things free and better (D3, Datavis etc.). Just needed a little effort.
