Datawrapper vs Yandex DataLens

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.

Yandex DataLens is a web-based business analytics tool for visualizing data, building dashboards, and producing reports. Its interactive dashboards can refresh on a schedule or be embedded, while reports can be generated as print-ready multipage documents. Users can build charts with a self-service visualization builder or customize them with JavaScript. Neuroanalyst supports data analysis and visualization creation. Connections include databases such as ClickHouse, PostgreSQL, MySQL, YDB, Greenplum, SQL Server, Oracle, StarRocks, Trino, and Snowflake, alongside sources such as Google Sheets, Prometheus, Yandex Metrica, AppMetrica, and files. Corporate accounts can use SSO or Yandex ID, with permissions for groups and individuals; row-level security can restrict access within a dataset. A Free plan costs nothing for one seat. Each viewer or editor needs a seat, and teams are billed by seat. New customers receive 15 days of free team access, extendable by another 15 days when a billing account is linked before the initial trial ends. External databases must use certificates signed by a certificate authority; self-signed certificates are not supported.
