In their own words
Datastory
Datastory turns data into interactive charts, data-driven web applications, and presentations published as stories. Its AI can interpret uploaded data, recommend visualizations, identify insights, and draft captions based on workspace data. A chart picker reads columns and suggests encodings for categorical, temporal, geographic, or hierarchical data. Visualizations can be shared as standalone links, embedded in websites, or exported as high-quality images. Embedding is also described for Notion, Webflow, newsletters, and content management systems. An Open Data catalog includes statistics from sources such as OECD, WHO, Eurostat, the World Bank, and the UN. The web-based Starter plan is free and includes 10 visualizations, up to 3 team members, 100 AI credits per month, and unlimited open data downloads. Professional costs $15 a month per user and includes unlimited visualizations and collaborators, 1000 AI credits per month, priority support, and custom branding. Enterprise pricing is custom. Datastory is based in Stockholm and was founded in 2005.
Unmapped
Unmapped is a browser-based map studio for making and publishing maps as videos, interactive stories, or maps. It runs in a modern desktop browser without installation. Its timeline treats places, labels, routes, and effects as clips, arranged into scenes with transitions, looping, and frame-accurate scrubbing. Bring in CSV, GeoJSON, zipped Shapefiles, or GeoTIFF files, or use live earthquake, wildfire, and weather-alert feeds. Visualizations can take the form of points, heatmaps, hexbins, or 3D columns, with styling, timing, and animation. You can add 3D models such as landmarks, people, or storm systems to routes, or ask the AI assistant to build scenes from a description. Exports include MP4 films up to 4K in landscape or vertical formats, interactive stories, and still images from any frame. Stories can be public, unlisted, or private; public ones may appear in discovery surfaces. The free plan includes manual 2D editing and previews. Pro and Studio add terrain and 3D buildings, credits, MCP support, and ChatGPT app integrations.
