In their own words
Flourish
Flourish is a no-code tool for creating interactive data visualizations and stories, including charts and maps. Its library has more than 50 chart types and templates, such as line and bar charts, interactive maps, hierarchy graphs, survey results, and Sankey diagrams. Templates can include tooltips, filters, and animations; Publisher and Enterprise plans add scrollytelling. Published projects can be embedded in websites with responsive code or shared using a unique URL. Flourish can refresh visualizations from publicly accessible CSV files at intervals, while Publisher includes live updates from Google Sheets or CSV. Presenter, available with Canva Business or Enterprise, supports interactive charts in Canva designs and PowerPoint. Enterprise offers an API for creating and editing visualizations and connecting them to databases, live data feeds, webpages, and tools including R, Tableau, Jupyter, and Observable. Presenter, Publisher, and Enterprise offer PNG, JPEG, and usually SVG export; Publisher also includes HTML export for self-hosting. The Free plan costs nothing, allows unlimited projects, and adds Flourish attribution to published visualizations.
