What it is
StatSilk makes tools for building dashboards with interactive data visualizations and maps for web and desktop use. StatPlanet and StatTrends present data as maps, bar charts, line graphs, scatter plots, and bubble charts. StatPlanet Cloud imports spreadsheet data and supports SDMX connections to online databases, including OECD, UNESCO, and World Bank sources. Its dashboards can use movable, resizable panels, filters, embedded text or web pages, and interactive stories. The StatPlanet Cloud API can set dashboard parameters such as indicators, graph type, time, map areas, region, and data file. Data and maps can be hosted by StatSilk or self-hosted, including on a customer's server. StatSilk says information flows from its cloud or servers to the user's device and is not uploaded or otherwise recorded in the cloud. The service has a free plan; StatPlanet Cloud Non-commercial costs $495 a year and Commercial costs $595 a year, both for unlimited users. The maker is based in Sydney and was founded in 2011.
