In their own words
Datawrapper
Datawrapper is a web app for creating and publishing charts, maps and tables. Its feature overview lists 25 interactive, responsive and accessible visualisation types, including more than 20 chart types. Map options include symbol, choropleth and locator maps, as well as more than 4,000 basemaps and cartograms. Tables can include images, heatmaps, miniature charts, search, pagination and sorting. Users can embed visualisations on websites and export PNG, PDF or SVG files depending on plan. A PowerPoint add-in supports creating, editing, embedding and updating visualisations in presentations, while the REST API can create and edit charts and support integrations. Datawrapper says embeds have no trackers, cookies or third-party scripts and meet GDPR and CCPA requirements. It also says the service is hosted in Frankfurt and Stockholm within the EEA and is ISO 27001 certified. A free plan allows unlimited publishing and PNG downloads, but retains Datawrapper attribution. Pro costs $21 per user/month, excluding VAT, and removes attribution. The maker is based in Berlin and was founded in 2012.
