infogram: a powerful and easy way to join aesthetics and data
Pros
- It is specifically made for the creation of infographics and it excels in this field.
- It provides the novice user with many beautiful templates, easing the learning process.
- It integrates with many databases, making the infographic dynamic always up-to-date.
Cons
- As with other web-based apps, you need a reliable internet connection.
- Sometimes you really wish to have more control over some graphics, to make finer tweaking.
- The price for the pro version (the lower tier above free) is currently at 19 USD/month when billed annually, which can be a bit much if you don't need to use Infogram regularly.
Return on Investment

Pros
- Very rich graph library
- Very easy to use
- Beautiful graphs in terms of design

A simple, friendly infographic creator you can get started with right away
Pros
- Intuitive, friendly interface that is actually fun to work with and makes data visualization less intimidating. Easy for non-technical people to master
- A wide variety of visualizations, charts, and graphic elements that continues to grow
- Great compatibility. Easy to integrate with webpages, social media marketing, etc. and mobile-friendly
- Saves a lot of time. You can have a professional-looking infographic or chart pretty quickly that is ready to share or embed.
Cons
- If you want to create a very complex visualization this probably isn't for you, but this isn't really what Infogram is made for.
- If you want to create a very customized design there are some limitations, you can't add any custom CSS, etc. Again, Infogram isn't really made for this.
- You have to be online to use it.
- You can't download your charts to use elsewhere (eg. add to a printed annual report) unless you have a Pro, Business, or Enterprise account.
Return on Investment
- For my clients and organizations I have trained, having an easy-to-use tool they can get started with right away has improved their communications capacity and audience reach
- It saves money, you'd spend a lot more for the same results if you hired a designer and/or developer.
- Because you can get results very quickly, it improves response time to news events, etc. keeping your communications relevant.
