Graphs vs Infogram

Graphs is a free Linux desktop application for plotting and manipulating data, released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later. It imports column files such as CSV, DAT, XY, and plain text, plus ODS and XLSX spreadsheets, SQLite databases, Panalytical XRDML, Leybold XRY, and Graphs project files. Equations can generate datasets and remain rendered across the plot canvas. Data operations include translation, multiplication, normalization, centering, smoothing, differentiation, integration, Fourier transformation, combining, shifting, cutting, and custom coordinate transformations. Curve fitting offers linear, quadratic, exponential, power-law, logarithmic, sigmoid logistic, Gaussian, and custom-equation models. Results may include parameter confidence margins, confidence bands, R², RMSE, and residual plots. Users can select or create plot styles controlling colors, fonts, lines, markers, error bars, axes, ticks, and grids. Figures export to PNG, JPEG, WebP, SVG, PDF, PostScript, or Encapsulated PostScript, with underlying data export too. Vector output can be edited in applications such as Inkscape. Flathub describes the app as requesting no permissions.

Infogram is a web platform for building interactive data visualizations, including infographics, charts, maps, reports, dashboards, slides, and social media graphics. Projects can combine custom tooltips, clickable elements, videos, GIFs, and animations. It lists more than 35 customizable chart types and more than 800 maps, with AI tools for making visuals, suggesting charts, adjusting content, and turning images into data. Projects can be shared or embedded on websites, blogs, and presentations without coding; embedded visuals reflect later edits. Connections include YouTube, SlideShare, Flickr, Giphy, and IFrame, plus data sources such as Google Drive spreadsheets, Dropbox, JSON feeds, and several databases. The Basic plan allows one user and up to 10 projects. Pro costs $19 a month billed annually; Business costs $67 a month billed annually; Team costs $149 a month billed annually. Infogram lists a developer API, WCAG 2.2 Level accessibility, and SOC 2 Type 2 compliance. Its offices are in Riga, Budapest, and San Francisco.
