Animated and scrollable data stories from a spreadsheet of numbers.
A template-driven visualisation tool best known for the racing bar chart, plus scrollytelling stories where the chart changes as the reader moves down the page. You upload data into a template, adjust settings and publish or embed. It is the fastest route to a chart that moves. On the free plan the Flourish credit stays on the graphic and published work is intended to be public — private projects need a paid tier.
Questions
A genuinely usable free tier with paid plans for volume or team features. Free projects carry Flourish branding and are meant to be published publicly; private work needs a paid plan.
Yes. Flourish sends your input to its own servers to process it. That is fine for public material; for anything containing personal data, use one of the on-device tools instead.
