Graphtelling vs Understand

Graphtelling turns spreadsheet data and chart screenshots into editable charts, with AI-assisted headlines, insights, and takeaways. It accepts CSV and Excel files, pasted data, Google Sheets, and screenshots of existing charts. All plans include 14 chart types and tables. Dashboards bring linked charts together with text, arrows, shapes, images, and animations; they can be shared by link, image, or embed. Live embed links let users publish charts on websites, newsletters, or content management systems. The Free plan allows three charts and 50 one-time AI actions, with JPEG export and Graphtelling branding; it can view shared dashboards but not build them. Pro costs €10 per month when billed yearly at €120, or €15/mo monthly. Business costs €20 per month yearly at €240, or €30/mo monthly. New workspaces receive a seven-day Pro trial without a credit card, capped at five charts and 30 screenshot imports. The maker says data is stored securely, never shared, and can be deleted at any time.

Understand turns static charts and complex dashboards into data stories for sharing insights and supporting decisions. Each story is built from cards that appear as viewers scroll through it, a format the product calls scrollytelling. Users can import data from files, Google, SQL databases, OLAP cubes, or APIs. Understand AI can analyze and summarize stories and identify anomalies. Stories can be shared publicly or embedded; Growth also supports email and Slack notifications. The service describes scheduled story updates and mobile-friendly viewing. A white-label option lets users embed stories in another product with custom branding and a custom domain. Enterprise-ready options include private cloud or single-tenant deployment, SSO, and access control. The free Starter plan includes one editor, unlimited stories, CSV upload and manual entry, public sharing, and scrollytelling. Growth costs $25.00 per editor per month with annual billing. A 14-day trial is listed, and the terms limit website use to individuals aged 13 or older.
